No, I myself have never whelped puppies... but I've been witness to several litters born. Old English sheep dogs, English Mastiffs, Shih-tzu's and a few others. Never anything as small as our Yorkies, and none have ever had any real difficulties. Asside from a few still borns that is. With the exception of the c-sections the bitches did all the work themselves & us humans just got to stand by and watch the miracle happen. |
