I listed a couple books on your other thread, I would not be without them and really think they are necessary! I can give you a list of several others that are a good read if you would like! |
Reading books can be very helpful, but there is NOTHING like experience. I was SO much more prepared for my own litters after helping deliver several of my mentor's. I had experience whelping basset hounds growing up, but there is so much more risk involved with small dogs...it's a whole difference ballgame. I sat through 2 really rough yorkie litters with my mentor...two of the hardest she had ever had...and I'm so glad I did, because Mikayla's litter was a tough one....and I was so much more mentally, physically, and emotionally prepared for it because of what I had already seen. Sorry to ramble, but any breeder will tell you that the BEST way to learn is firsthand!
