Yes, it can, does and has happened. Please don't trust baby gates, puppy gates and playpens to keep them apart either...where there's a will there's a way! Please keep your females and their litters seperated at all times...seperate rooms with closed doors is the only way to assure they can't get to each other. It only takes a second for an accident to happen...if Mom needs time out let each one out at a different time.
I don't mean to sound paranoid but wasn't there a story on YT a while back about one Mother getting into the playpen of the other Mother and killing her puppies while the breeder had that litter out getting their tails/dew claws done? My Molly wasn't even very tolerant of Murfee once the puppies were delivered so we kept him out of the room for a few weeks until she relaxed a little bit. |
