lee all I can tell you is my own eperience. Everyone I know says that long bodied bitches are better . I have had one long body and two very short compact bitches.
y experience is this. The long bodied one had only two babies and each one of the short squatty ones had two litterss each for me and each time had five babies and free whelped until the last time. They had two litters of five each before i bought them so they didn't have any problems at all until their last breeding before retirement. My long bodied bitch had to have a section and one of her two puppies was dead. Now, after saying that, I have a long bodied young bitch bred right now and due in a few days. Her first time. She is only having two babies. so for what it's worth, I just don't see that it matters altho everyone says go with the longer brood bitches. |
