When you have already been through this with the male? He could have easily died. Perhaps, waiting anther 2 1/2 weeks would have been a lot safer, and better decision . I know it is difficult to wait until a puppy is old enough, however, as you know, it makes all the difference in the world.
I hope that the little female will be ok. And i believe that your going to be in contact with the breeder, and know the signs to look out for.
I almost hate to comment on this, but must say I agree with this too. As happy as you all seem to be at this time, I wish I was reading that you were going to be letting both puppies spend more time with their mom to get the extra assurance that all will be well.

This is a lesson we all can learn from.
