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.

Thanks for your answers I'm starting to understand a little more Lee
