				I stay in Kolkata, India. Have two bitches, one native dog(5.5 yrs.) and the other is a whippet(1.2 yrs.). I didn't introduce my second dog as described in the Leerburg e book, and I definitely didn't take much care for the socialization of the elder one. My elder bitch used to attack and bite the younger one severely. Now, I have educated myself with all these e books and articles of yours and going for a pilot implementation. It really helped. She has become less dominant and the younger one is trying to be obedient. Anyway, there are other clinical problems.
My elder bitch didn't mate at all. We are not planning to have her pups. But for the last couple of years after every season she has been undergoing pseudo pregnancy. Last year she was lactating, now, she is digging the corner of the room she stays. My, problem is, she was a bit dominant earlier. So, if I breed the whippet(as whippet is a rare breed in our country) after 1.5 yrs from now, shall she attack the pups? In more simple terms, will it be fatal? 
What steps shall I take then?
Regards
Bidisha

				You never give another bitch access to the pups of another dog. It's a fast way to a deadly fight/carnage you don't want to see. 
If you do decide to breed your whippet separate the the two from whelping through at least 10-12 weeks. 
I never blame a girl for odd behavior during false pregnancies. Hormones are running wild. Just try to distract them through the weird behaviors.

				Since you are not going to breed the older one, can you spay her?
YOU WILL NEED TO KEEP THEM TOTALLY SEPARATE TILL THE PUPS ARE AT LEAST 10 WEEKS OLD.
The two females could easily kill each other and the older one could easily kill the pups.
I would even separate them 2 weeks before she whelps.

Agreed.
If spaying is an option I would look into that.
