Also as a note is there any breeder here in Idaho somewhat near me that would be willing to talk to me? Thanks so much
I have heard of puppies going into shock and dying. Also, you have to make sure the tails are not bleeding and that the momma does not lick them an make them start bleeding again or you could loose a puppy that way. These cases are very rare.
