In a litter, my first puppy is usually the biggest, because of its location lower in the abdomen where they had more room to grow. I wish that was not the case because I'd rather have the smaller, easier whelps come first! I also see this on the xrays, the puppies further up in mom are generally smaller than the lower ones... |
As you can tell I know nothing about breeding. Never knew that. Thanks for the info though.
