I've read also that they say the puppy can't tell. Well that's crap. When they are with mom, they cry when the're cold, so they feel something.
On another note, if someone feels they must have a quetion like that answered, it would have been better served to ask their mentor. If they don't have one, then they need one if they are going to be breeding and have no clue to all the problems that are in back of the lines they are working with. Ask the breeder of your dog questions that will offend those here. Even I had to take a 2nd look at the question and I've been involved for almost 32 years. Personally I would have thought most would realize to take the puppy to a vet to be taken care of properly.
Besides the fact, it really needs to be autopsied. As a breeder knows, no puppy should die that we are not checking it out to see what the problem is or how else would we know how to breed, or not to breed if a dog is producing problems. |
Thank you for being the "voice of reason". This site is visited by people like me, Yorkie owners, and breeders too. In response to someone who said what if you didn't have access to a vet,- well there are always emergency vets. In response to what if you can't leave the others at home unattended, there are vets who make housecalls and there are friends or neighbors who can stay or travel with the dogs. Freezing, drowning, suffocating or any other means other than an injection by the vet are BARBARIC in my neck of the woods!
