I believe they sold puppies on the internet at a place called PremiumBreeders.net but it looks like the site is now closed down. I so glad because there were some very sick puppies sold on that site that caused a lot of heartaches for buyers. I don't have much advice regarding this condition since I was not involved directly with their care but my suggestion would be to have your parents spayed/nuetered. This is very time consuming and emotionally draining. I wold be further concerned since this is the second puppy that you have that has a very large medical condition that you are dealing with. |
I now own the mother and the pups belong to a good friend but she is not very open with problems. She gave me this dog already pregnant and I have an excellent male stud that I let her use because I could not find any problems in the line and thought I knew the dogs history. She gave the mother dog to me because they could not handle 3 females. I am having her spayed at 6 months after delivery, 4 more months and she is kept separate. She is getting along with the female that helps with the litter. I chose to spay my two females after 2 litters each. This little momma is momma for the last time. I did not want her but have known her too long to just see her ousted. She is doing very well here. The birth of these pups was horrible. She is not meant for birthing, they never asked a vet prior to breeding. I am unsure of exactly how much they intend on doing but I am committed to seeing to their needs because I permited the sire of these pups and hold myself accountable. That sire has now been neutered even though I have not had problems I can not take the risk. The friends are elderly and I think they got in too deep and just thought they knew better than others around them. The sire only has 3 litters, the 2 litters prior had no problems and all weights at 5 to 6 lbs as adults. I fixed him also because of females in house.
