Well, one thing you could do is be willing to attend the whelping at BYB's house and if the dog gets in trouble and she won't get her help, be pro-active and call Animal Control and ask them what to do. I'll bet that would spur this person to get poor little mommie some help and you would not incur direct legal liability for whatever might happen to the mother and puppies. That might be safer for mommie and pups than trying to whelp a small mommie with just limited experience yourself and not all the supplies in the world like the vet will have.
If she has agreed to sell these puppies with that contract and end a faulty line of breeding dog's with tendencies to health problems, you have done a lot, Miss Kendra. If she will carry through with that, I would say you have saved dogs!
Keep on working on her about inappropriate breeding practices but don't let her use your kind heart to do things that she should be doing and report her for neglect if she doesn't do right by a dog. Maybe that combination approach is worth a try. Bless your heart for trying and keep your spirits up.
