I need some advice. I am an owner of three Yorkies. All of my Yorkies have been purchased from the same breeder. My last dog was purchased with the intention of breeding my female. When the last dog was purchased we requested that dogs be from separate mom/dad. We later discovered that they shared same dad but different females. Does this increase likelihood of problems? I was told that breeding with dogs was not the same as with humans. My concern is that my female gave birth to one puppy yesterday evening without difficulty. Pup would not latch on. We were giving puppy formula through a syringe because pup would not suck at all. Puppy faded within 24-hours birth. Very heartbroken along with my female who is whining and circling her whelping box. Please give advice.
