As I have mentioned in other threads, I bred Lhasa's in England, when puppies were due, two of my friends (who were Yorkie breeders - got our first two Yorkies from them) would come over and spend the evening with me, and sit up all night waiting for the puppies to arrive. Once we had to take momma to the vet, she needed a C-section to deliver one of the puppies.
Yorkies are much more delicate than Lhasas.
And as someone has pointed out, you cannot guarantee the pedigree from a pet store. There are disreputable breeders out there that are just in it for the money.
Just give Suki lots of love and attention (which I am sure you are already doing), get her spayed as soon as you can, and if she comes into heat before you get her spayed, keep her away from the other dogs.  |
You're right. I wanted to do the cliffnotes version of the story where we assume everything goes right. I've never experienced any part of it so I left the long hours of the whelp out.
At least now I know someone took the time to read that insanely long post.
