This little girl probably has a week left before she whelps.
In regards to the male being larger, well that is a misnomer. More to it than just that, although you have concerns and they are valid. The reason is this person probably does not know the dogs within either of the dog's pedigree and what either one can produce. Now that being said, the mother controls the pups sizes while they are in utero, but there are other concerns. Will her birth canal expand to the size necessary to whelp maybe a fat baby, a little larger than normal?
It's sad that so many look at these wee ones as just dogs and don't take the responsibility and precautions necessary to insure what is best for them. |
It just irks me to no end. She is still a puppy herself!!! I know they are only after the money. I see how this couple approaches the ladies medical problems and payment for services etc and I know they will not do right by this young momma or her pups!
I am just gonna say my prayers for her!
