Trust me, if u love your dog, stay with them till the puppies are all born, do not put thteir lives on risk. If you cant stay with them ,then maybe u should consider not to breed. |
If it comes to them getting close to delivering I can either take the mother to work with me (btw I work in someone's home...not in an office), OR I can take her to my mentor (the breeder I mentioned above) who is home all day and can watch her. I got the two adult females from her because she's downsizing a little, and she and I have gotten to know each other very well. Both mothers have had a litter previously...and those two are both due to come into heat anytime now (it's been 7 months since ones last...and 6 since the others). Brooke's vulva is firm, so I'm guessing another week or two. So those are going to be similar (although I'm hoping one comes at least a couple weeks before the other...so I won't have to deal with two whelping within a few days. Maddie is at 4 1/2 months now since her last heat...so she'll be AT LEAST a month behind the others I think. I have been researching this for a long time...and I'm lucky to have this wonderful mentor to help me through the process. I know there will always be a way for either me, or someone I trust, to be with the mom and/or the babies once they're born. I was just curious if anyone successfully works full time and breeds. Thank you, though, for being so helpful.
