I did not think the thread to be true when I read it because of a few things she wrote..and when she stated the pups were too big to nurse, I was positive..folks, puppies can be too small to nurse, but a big, fat puppy can nurse..and a mother rarely has puppies so big she can not handle them..even if they need to be cut out...I am sure most breeders will tell you even small moms handle 3 or 4 without a blink of an eye...a big Yorkie can handle two unless she is ill ..pups nurse from Yorkie moms at 5, even 6 weeks of age//shoot I have seen some moms let 10 and 12 weeks old nurse if I did not step in.....how big do you think they are..sometimes well over a pound, even 2 or more.
Puppies can only grow as big as the uterus and rib cage permits and no Yorkie will have a pups much more the 8oz that is the largest weight I have heard...and that was a 10 pound Yorkie bred to a Cocker.
If this is a true thread, I will be first to say I was wrong. |
