I dont need to be reminded that I am "punishing" my dog for my decision to breed her. Instead support at this time of what is about to happen to my dam & her litter. Thanks |
This is exactly what I mean about inexperienced breeders and breeders who wait until they've already mated their dogs before starting their research. Yes, it's mother nature, but do you realize that you need to intervene for the safety of the pups? You need to be the one to open the sacks and cut the cords to prevent suffocation and the possible loss of a limb. You need to be aware of all the signs of possible complications, including a stuck pup, retained placentas, infections and eclampsia. These dogs go down hill fast. An experienced mentor who can be there with you while your dog is whelping is INVALUABLE. The internet only goes so far.
