I don't see how that could be a congenital issue unless there are phsyical characteristics at play. Such as the width between the hips. I was told if you could measure the distance by putting your thumb across this area then the bitch should be able to whelp her pups. The size of both parent dogs. The size of the puppies heads by x-ray or ultrasound. I was always told to always breed to a smaller male.
To begin with what causes for the bitch to not whlep the litter normally. I read a thread the other day were 2 puppies had come down at the same time but from both vaginal horms competing for the exit at the same time. So a c-section was needed. So whould this bitch be spayed? This wasn't necessarily a physical impairment.
I think a responsible breeder would work hand in hand with their vet for the wellbeing of their dogs health and come to a conclusion to promote a good outcome. |
