Anything can happen in breeding. I have never lost a bitch, but it does happen. I have lost pups in past litters and I have just had a litter of 2 females and one just only lived for 6 hours. I have had many trips to the ER costing hundreds and even thousands for a c-sect. I dont breed champions. but i have 2 generations back on mine or more. I still had a pup turn up with LP, a heart murmur. things just happen that no one can explain. Unless you have numerous generations back and still things happen. Heard it all. There is NO profit in breeding. I personally give my pups away for the cost of what is cost me to friends and good aquantances. But i do keep some too. It takes a lot of work to care for mom and pups. You cannot work nor go on holiday when whelping and caring for pups. Thats exactly why I am done for a while. |
