[QUOTE=YorkieRini]I have also had other breeders tell me that to save the bitches life they had to pull pups out by pieces when she was having trouble. To me that's too much.[QUOTE]
OMG no!! That's so awful.
I feel sick now just thinking about those poor babies and the poor mommy. From reading all this info, I know that I would NEVER breed. I don't have the stomach for it -- I'm not brave enough, I'll admit it. But I do give you good breeders a BIG thumbs up because you're all miracle workers -- you basically hold LIFE in the palm of your hands and then work your magic with love, attention, food, warmth, kindness and all those other extra special touches (like staying up round the clock to watch these babies) that bring these innocent little pups into the world -- while at the same time taking care of the mama dog. I give you guys so much credit and respect.
