Using a smaller stud, is a misnomer......the mother controls the size in utero. It could have been they ingested too much fluid into their lungs....They say that 40% of pups are born with posterior presentation....but, that doesn't take away from the fact you have to work quickly and all has to be timed with her contractions....being careful you don't pull the pup, but sometimes in efforts to save the pup, pulling is necessary, just as long as you don't do it by the legs......
Have you discussed the situation with your vet? Scarey and I'm so sorry you lost the pups.
Here's another situation I can present, I've just had a female spayed, she had a total of 4 litters....of those 4 litters all but 2 pups were posterior presentation.....11 pups total.
