I've been attacked on this site about pet breeding without showing myself, (no shows within 100-150 miles from me) so it's annoying when you only want an answer to something to have everyone jumping down your throat, no matter how well intended they might think they are.
You are only human, and I'm sure you are not hurting them, a tap is a tap, not a spank....don't do it myself tho as my three are only 4lbs.
My usual is "tut tut TUT" if it's that naughty and they listen to my voice - it's a very rare thing to them needing being told

They are too cute and too good, lol

PREGGERS and POOPING ON THE CARPET -
My wee one is preggers too (hopefully) - day 32 - and no accidents yet

I think it is just that she is upset in her hormones and also the pressure of all those puppies pressing on her bladder and bowels will make her need very rapidly, and she probably doesn't get a chance to ask out in time.
Grit your teeth and try not to scold her....put her straight onto the nearest puppy pad you have near her, and say do poopoos, say nothing about the "accident" and let her go back to her bed then. If she carries on doing it, just try to think of what she is producing for you, and say nothing.
She will be fine once she has her puppies weaned, if not after the birth, and there being less pressure....though you might like to try carrying her out yourself every hour and say your usual, like do peepees, do poopoos, and give her a chance to empty herself without having to get caught out.
She won't be trying to be bad...she is just upset and full of puppies.

Let me know how you get on and how her whelping goes

I hope all goes really well for you.
This will be my first breeding, and I am crossing my fingers, though I think Tammy is pregnant

I might end up posting on this topic for myself yet, hee hee - you can give me some advice then, eh

- you could keep her on a lino/tiled floor for a week or so if nothing else works....better than having it on carpets, etc...but spend loads of time with her if she is in the kitchen for example....I'm sure you will be loving her anyway, good luck
