In fact if you look breech up in the dictionary you'll find that it means buttocks.
Bitches are due 63 days after they ovulate. Unless you know what day your gal ovulated she may not be late at all. I wouldn't worry unless she is showing signs of distress. |
Thanks for the proper info... I just always hear people compairing it to a normal human birth and say breech.
Ok my baby's feet come first: Posterior... My book on dogs that I read also says breech and it is a vet book. I will have to check later and see if it refers to the posterior position also.
