I'm certainly no expert or qualified to answer really but if you or anyone else interested in considering starting breeding are interested, please read on. I tried breeding and lost a beautiful female beloved pet I adored with all my heart and 3 pups and had to handfeed the others 3 days old to weaning while grieving so hard for my dear Doberman, Cobra. She was dead. She was my best friend, my constant companion and she took care of me - watched out for me - slept with my husband and me and was our big darling and she was gone due to something I allowed to happen.

I now know breeding/whelping of dogs is something no one - no one on this earth - has any business trying unless they have years of experience, know genetics inside and out, are committed to fulfilling all of the steps listed here in the YT Library of how to become reputable breeders, have plenty of funds for many emergencies and have read, researched, studied and learned all you possibly could on the subject of breeding/pregnancy/whelping/infant raising for a good number of years and know what to do at home quickly in case of breeding-related emergency. You owe the dogs all of that before you consider breeding. They have a right to the best of the best. Unless you can meet on those qualities, you probably are far from able to handle this whelping or further breeding. And at 22 mos., isn't she too young to be into her second pregnancy? Get to an ER vet and get her checked out and let the experts take it from here. I'd have my baby spayed/aborted right now & not chance another Beagle-or-unknown-daddy whelping issue. Then I'd let this baby girl you love live a life of luxury and pampering that she has earned now. Believe me, I probably know exactly what you are thinking about now. I know you think it won't all go bad for you and your Mila - but is it worth even the chance that it might?
