Nancy, really I never heard of that before. My sister's shih tzu was I'll say 8months when he bred with my dog, Princess and none of the pups had any sort of deformations, unless you count really cute bi-color eyes in one pup  But of course like with anything, it doesn't happen in all cases. Two pups didn't make it, because they became chilled few days after birth. But thats good to know, never knew that. Thanks for that bit of new information. |
No, you are NOT in the minority, but just because she isn't a professional is no reason to have her girl go thru an abortion. I breed to better the breed, but I don't think everyone who has a pregnant dog who isn't a professional breeder should abort them. I just hate to see her scared into doing something that her vet could help her with and she needs to hear all of the options.. Yes, abortion is one of them... but there are pros and cons to everything.
