Thank you, all of you, for being so kind. It was too wet to bury him this morning so I went to work for a while and just buried him. It's so weird, even though I know he didn't make it I just had to look one more time to be sure before I put him in the ground. Tayla is the smallest bitch that I have bred and though she's strong and passed evaluation by three breeders a 5 oz. pup was almost too big for her. I do hope that all of those pet owners who are thinking of breeding their little gals will reconsider. I don't know if I will breed Tayla again at this point. She's from Brazil and has the exact coat quality that I want to breed. I won't sacrifice her to my goals so at this moment I just don't know. Besides she cries when she pushes and it just tears me up!
