Spray? I want something natural with no side effects. I dont think I will have a problem separating those two apart for 2 or 3 weeks as Hun advised below.
After 2 years, I might not even sell if I start to feel they are a family to me. Coming home to 7 - 10 Westies - heavennn~!

You gotta take note loh. For now, Casper being the older one would try and teach the younger female stuff... it can be good habits or bad habits hahahah.... both then will be very playful with each other.
If your Casper is hamsap, he may do a lot of humping.... sometimes for dominance, sometimes it's gonna be his instinct lah. Don't worry, she won't get pregnant.
But once the female pup goes to 6 months, take note when she will be on heat. Never breed on the 1st heat. So you have to really really monitor. Signs would be swollen genital area.... when not on heat, the female's genitals would be small, but when she is gonna start to go on heat, her private part would start to swell. I know it may sound "weird" but I would suggest you to feel her part to know..... LOL, that's how I know when Chelsea comes on heat. A week before she actually comes, I can feel it swell a bit bigger than normal. Now that is the time where you must separate them for 2 weeks. Best 3 weeks just to be safe.
Best you keep her somewhere like in a cage with a lock or another room. During heat cycles, male dogs can go crazy. I have seen male dogs get stuck, as in their heads stuck to fences or cages just to get nearer to the female. Some would jump high over fences. Others may even try to destroy the cage just to mate. Since Casper is not a large dog, I don't think he will destroy a cage hahaah... but he may get himself stuck or hurt if he goes that crazy. Last time I had 1 dachshund, he got so crazy over my female mongrel that was on heat that he got his body stuck in the gate. We separated her in a compound with fence and gate. We had to saw the gate in half to get him out safely.
Now, I am planning to take this seriously. I thought female pup only start to be on heat AFTER 12 months of age? My breeder explained it to me like this:
When a female pup first be on heat, she can deliver baby but it's not safe. Just like any 12 year old human girl can deliver baby but not good for her body and may cause delivery problems.
So, it is best to wait at least 18 months of age before letting her be pregnant. 18 months of dog age is like a fresh girl 18 years old. That time only deflower her.
He told me this in cantonese which I dont really understand but that's roughly it. I may get the months and age part wrong. Please correct me I made any mistake.
Anyway, I need to clarify some things:
1. How old a female pup will be on heat
2. If on heat, how long? (no. of days)
3. If so happens if Casper 'rape' her off before she on heat for the first time, what will happen? (in case Casper wanna show dominance or what, his ding-dong is always hard and out whenever got girls come to my house... Sometimes, I call him super hamsap dog)
4. Is it advisable to let them stay together when no one is at home, lets say from 9 - 5pm?
5. Is there anything else I need to know for a male and female pup to live together?
6. One of my main purpose to get a female westie is to let Casper have companion (current times) and a family (in the future). But, I worry he simply bang her when they are home alone, worry she die.
7. If I lock her up, means she got no access to do her biz during on-heat. If I lock him up, means he dont have access to do his biz. This can be quite troublesome.
