There is a breeder here in town who has 2 litter due next week. One on the 28th..Tinkerbell, and the other on the 29th Blondie. Well, Tinkerbell who normally weighs 5 1/2 lbs went into labor last night and gave birth to 7 puppies!
Anyway, she called me today and told me that she had lost 5 puppies. They had varied so much in size. One was about the length of her thumb.
She called her stud breeder to tell her what had happened and this breeder told her, "Well, it's because you are inexperienced! If I would have been there, I could have saved them all!!!!"
Poor Charlie was SO upset she was crying. I think that she called me just to have someone to talk to. Mind you, I've never met the woman face to face, just had talked to her a couple of times over the past 3 months.
How can some people be so insensitive? Does this other breeder think that she could have saved the one that was not bigger than your thumb?????
I tell you, Charlie doesn't want to use her stud dog anymore. She has been breeding for 5+ years. True, it's still all new, but in this case, I don't think that all of the pups could have been saved. I think that the mom just had too many in there.
But, the momma is okay. I'm even mad at that other breeder.
