or what if it is the whole litter?
that you have to potty and feed and weigh etc it isnt even about mixing
the breed it is about the night mare that can occur and how mentally exhausting it can be and how attached you get and still maybe loose
the pup or litter please do your homework it is so much more than just breeding a dog and if you want to know when the right time is well take her to the vet he can tell you!!! put money away just in case of a c-section most vet's want money upfront and double that for a night c-section
than put money away for vet check and shot's and a good puppy food and
for a good calcium supplement for momma and a high quality food for momma
and buy you some good breeding books so you undertand the good and oh so
bad about whelping and than a nose sucker and clamps and all the whelping supplies than money for tails and dew claws
also remember it is summer be prepard to give up going to the lake or a vacation or outings for weeks until pupies are ready to go
you need expen and puppy pads and washing little buts and cleaning poo for weeks than vet checks to make sure you are not selling a sick pup and believe you me cleaning alot of puppy poo and little buts for at least 12 weeks can be so much fun and giving albon for days if pups get coccidia
just please rethink what you are about to do it can be very costly and
heart breaking and money to be made well i am always going in the hole.
good luck!
Oh this post has sure brought me huge memories of tube feeding.. and how it is so exhausting to the mind and body.. I saved my little girl and still have her today.. but it is really something for the op to read your post well and take it all in..
I am sitting waiting now for my girl to whelp.. and I sit again on pins and needles as always.. I sleep in the same room as her and started last night.. this will go on until I am sure babies are doing well.. could be a couple weeks.. my hubby gets to sleep alone. He gets to look after the other dogs while I am with my girl.
Hope you really do your homework..and this is not even again about mixing the breed...anne
