oh, and yorkiejunkie, it is so good of you to say this - I never even thought of that. Aren't you supposed to also keep any male dogs away from newborns, also? I've read that in a couple places. I can imagine it would be a very distressing thing to come home to...I will definitely never forget this little tidbit of information.

I have lost 2 pups (back when I started breeding), 11 days old, they were happy healthy, and appeared fine. I thought everything would be fine. They were strong. I did not know that other females could not be around the new Mom, and her pups, and as a result 2 were killed, by one of the other females. It was a gruesome thing to find, when I got home from work. If I had had a mentor, back then, I would not have made that mistake. |
