My heart goes out to the unfortunate little momma...I can only pray her demise was NOT related to being bred at such a tiny weight...that would make her death all the more tragic, as it would have been completely unnecessary. It is the pedigree behind the breeding pair that determines the size of puppies. This "size factor" in the pedigree needs to be researched at least 7 generations back....a working knowledge of the lines behind your breeding pair, and what they have routinely produced thru the generations, will tell you how large you might expect your baby to be. Again, my heart breaks for the tiny little momma that I am fearful sacrificed her life to have a litter of babies....so tragic, so uncalled for. Good luck with had rearing this baby girl. |
