Are male dogs necessary?

Today I had an 8-year-old piano student whose family has a female miniature schnauzer. This was our conversation:

Him - Truman's a boy? Oh, our dog is a girl.
Me - Yeah, she's a cute little dog.
Him - My mom didn't want her to have a bunch of puppies running around, so we got her that shot.
Me - Oh, we made it so Truman couldn't have puppies either.
Him - If Truman's a boy, what does that have to do with having puppies?
Me (Panic) - Well, they just help the girls have the puppies--(followed by a quick subject change leading into the piano lesson.)

I couldn't help but laugh. I apologize in advance to his parents if he suddenly starts asking questions.

Hahaha! That is GREAT! Remind me to sign Joseph up for piano lessons with you when he gets to be "that age."

Side note: I was babysitting for a family who had 4 boys while their dog was in heat. They had a boy dog and a girl dog and wanted to breed them. So, they had them fenced in the kitchen so they wouldn't "make a mess." I walked into the kitchen to see the boys watching them mate. The oldest boy said "That's so gross, I'm glad humans don't do that." I just laughed and said "Yeah, pretty gross, huh?" I love kids!!!
