Secondly, I am so glad that you have posted your story. Most people think of breeding as that basket full of cute, fat, happy and healthy pups that they are choosing a pup from and think that it must be fun. And hey, you are getting money for those pups, so you must be making a small fortune. They know nothing of the sleepless nights, the ups and downs and the occasional heartbreak that comes with holding a dying pup in your hands and not being able to do anything for it. When we try to tell them there is a long and rocky road to the basket-full of beautiful pups, they don't believe and think that the breeders are just trying to keep "all the fun and all the money" to themselves. Breeding is not an undertaking that should be taken lightly, but sadly, even a caring and responsible person such as yourself can run in to difficulties. The reason you are hurting now about your baby is because you do care, sadly, some don't.
RIP little baby.

That's another thing that some do not realize...the expenses involved!! I am soooooo in the hole between Livi's two litters!
