I have always liked that site...

I find a cleft may happen and never again...it can be in a litter of perfectly normal, healthy siblings, who go on to produce perfectly healthy, normal puppies.
Many years ago I had one born and in the same month two friends had a cleft puppy also..all were from different sires and dams..we could find no common thread..diet, meds etc.. I have never had a female with a cleft, only tiny males..I recall 3 in 35yrs. When I rebred the bitches, none occured.

I tried to save the first one, and he cried for 3 days..the other two were put down at birth.
