I have my pregnant girls x-rayed about 5 days before delivery date. The vet can then tell (by measureing heads and hip size) if a c-section will be needed. Of course, this is not 100% accurate and if a puppy is coming out sideways(mal-positioned) the female may not pass it even if it is not a big puppy.
The size of the female does not determine the size of the puppies. Sometimes the size of the puppy can come from the grand parents. Its all a matter how the genes line up.
Good luck!! |
