Yeah, my mom had poodles when I was young and we were told this but we never needed to do it. All of our females produced good sized litters. I don't remember ever having a litter of one or two. I believe 3 was our smallest litter with 5 or 6 being the norm. I figured it was an old wives tale. Probably created when women couldn't conceive, like Sugar's mom was saying. And then AI came along. I just thot I'd get everyone's opinion on it. LOL Sylvia |
