Hi fellow breeders---I have a question for you. I have 4 breeding Yorkie females and 2 breeding Papillon females. I switched their food about 9 months ago to Nutro from Science Diet. Since then the Yorkies litters have all reduced significantly. Girls that had 4-5 each litter, have had 1 & 2 per litter.
These are with 2 different studs of mine.
The Papillons still continue to have 4-5 as they did before.
Got any ideas--could it be the food? Anyone run into this?
Thanks
Jill
