First off, let me say that I skimmed over the info on the site that you provided and the information is very interesting. I have every intention of reading it when I find the time.
Not to discredit your citations, but although they were accurate, they were not complete (nor were they complete in the document) and are therefore misleading. The site states that in the study, 265 bitches presented were in fact having whelping problems. However, 265 out of how many? 500? 1000? 10,000? We have no way of knowing. For all we know, 265 is a very low percentage. Also, 26% of the 265 found were "smaller than the breed average" so obvoiusly, the chance of their being whelping complications is of course, high...THEY'RE TINIES!
Again, like I said, I found the information interesting, but I do not think, IMO, that enough information has been provided in regards to the study to give anyone anything concrete to base anything on.
