They almost all have delivery problems due to several reasons. One being the pups have big heads and they will just stop contracting after the first or second pup. This is a very difficult breed of dog to sucessfully raise unless you are there 24/7. Sorry for your loss. |
I was assuming it was an Old English Sheep Dog.
I have never had this happen with my dogs before, but I did have a hamster kill all of her babies just as they were about to go to new homes. I know, totally different, but its the only time I have witnessed anything like that. People always say to not handle puppies or kittens because the moms may kill them, but I had never seen it actually happen before.
