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. |
My male was mated with the female 2 times, day 10 & 11 according to her records. She has an adolescent male that within 2 weeks bred with her 2nd female who is only 1 year. As previously stated, she did not listen to anything I had to say and I had already let my male mate when I realized she was so intent on letting the other female breed "if she wanted too". Could it be possible that the 9 month old male also bred with the mama I have and these two little babies be preemies or whatever? She had her for about 3 weeks after the two (my male and the mama to the puppies with problems) were mated (the female would still have been receptive) Any time I saw the adol. male she had him diapered but it only takes once. I neutered my male because he had been with 4 females and I did not want to mate him anymore and expose him to problems. I love him dearly. Also, I was very concerned over these puppies now I am wonderning if the adol. male may be a problem. Is there a way to get relieable information? Now that the adol. male has sired a litter just born yesterday to them, the pups are healthy so how do we know if there is a problem? She is doing most of this with a vet and I have no say in any of it so all I can do is not help in any way. But the sick pups are my responsiblity too no matter what. This has strained our friendship dramatically and I do not have anything to do with her dogs now except to take care of these 2 little sick ones. I have done all I know to keep it from happening again but they are my reality now. My male is fixed and mama soon to be.
