We have two breeding females. Davie, 5 pounds, has had 1 to 3 puppies in each of her litters. Lexie, 6-7 pounds but right now weighs 8 pounds, has had litters of 6 than 6 than on 7-17-07 had 7 healthy puppies. Having big litters is exciting, but lots of worry and work. Davie never got near the size that Lexie got when she was pregnant. Poor Lexie could not move for the last week of her pregnancy with 7 and we had to carry her outside or to the food dish. Good luck with your female. My experience is that if your female is pregnant, she will have a small litter if her tummy is not big by this time. |
