v- just make sure they are keeping them warm, and a whelp box for larger dogs that has sides built into it to keep the mom from smothering pups is essential to some larger breed breeders...although i understand they may not want to do this, they are expensive to buy or you must build them yourself. my advice is to tell t hem to have these pups in the house with them so they can constantly check to see if she has one under her, or behind her. when they get behind mom is when they will smother. you did a wonderful thing by trying to help this girl and your neighbors....you are a wonderful, caring, compassionate person. |
