Again, her second litter (her current babies)....those problems arose from a retained placenta. It was the first one and we saw it..assumed that it was smaller than it should be because she had eaten part of it. We thought it was because we had our back turned, working on her baby. Nope, the majority of it was still inside of her....causing her problems that almost took her life. Even though these things were nothing to do with her...in fact, her delivery was great. It was only an hour and 15 minutes...and she was such a calm girl. It is everything afterwards that has caused me to make this decision.
I will just love the other breeders' puppies from afar and pretend that I can smell the puppy breath.  |
Tammy NONE OF THIS IS YOUR FAULT! It could happen to the most experience breeder! I believe things happen for a reason! It's always my fear too and that's the reason I breed on a very limited basis! You did good!
