I only know of one breeder that had multiply c-sections on their dogs and their vet told them that after 3 c-sections they should be spayed because of all the scar tissue that builds up. For me, I would say two strikes your out. I do not breed females under 5 lbs and preferably I like them close to 7 lbs but that is just me. |
I hadn't thought about the breeders who are breeding the 3-4lbers until you said this....So is it more likely than not that the majority of the 3-4lbers are having multiple c-sections because of their size?....I hadn't thought of this until now that if a breeder is producing nothing but "tinies" that her females are probably being put though these c-sections.....
