Now if you gave calcium supplements while she was pregnant and could have artificially induced it that way then I might feel differently. |
Yes Lacy's Mom very well stated! "A LIFE THREATENING CONDITION"! Why would anyone want to take the risk of the loss of your dam just to breed her again for a litter of puppies?
