I cannot stand the thought of the gas box. Saw it on the hbo documentary about rescue dogs & I was so horrified that I just sobbed. Never in my life did I ever want to see something so awful. At what point can a litter not be aborted? The guy I got my little dog from said his dachshund was accidentally impregnated by his male yorkie. He knew they were not purebred & if it wasn't for his drug addicted wife at the time they would've never tied. The guy was very good about keeping them separated during heat cycles. Anyway he called me one day asking about getting her spayed & aborting the litter. I asked how far along she was & with myself not knowing much about dog gestational periods, he told me she was due in a few days, week max. I told him unfortunately he had waited to long & to just let her have the pups & give them away. I told him that for the reason that I assumed it was too late to spay/abort. Plus dachshund/yorkie mixes, I wouldn't consider that to be dangerous like a fila mix or similar...but again, what did I know at the time. With it being almost 7 years later I am so glad I told him to not go through with the spay. Daisy is seriously the best dog I have ever had.
