Good Luck! If I ever have another Litter, which I doubt very much since it's alot of work and worry.......I set aside my Job, Gym Training, my Social Life everything else in my Life. Every waking moment was dedicated to their care and well being. And unlike other Breeders I kept all 3 of the puppies until they were @ least 20 weeks old, we were at the Vets. Office every 3 weeks, and I paid for every bit of it out of my own pocket. Next time I would definitly get my Mother X-Rayed, so I would know exactly how many she was having? Forget the Surprise......she was in Labor from Friday @ 9 pm., until Saturday 8 am.
had her first a male, and then the 2nd a female @ 10 am. and then the last
female at 10 pm. Saturday Night! I thought she was done giving birth after the second one, I bathed her, fed her, took her to use the bathroom etc.
We were all tucked in ready for bed and I just ran to the kitchen to get something to drink? When I got back in Bed she had the last puppy between her legs (I was gone only a minute)? From what I've heard 3 is pretty average and anything more is rare? But in general the larger the Female the more puppies she can carry? From what I have experienced and seen from other Breeders that are Friends too. Good Luck! |
