out of 4 litters "Lit'l Bit" (Hatties mom) had eclampsia once which happened to be her last litter (of 5) my vet assured me it was not genetic and was because of the size of her litter! Hattie had it twice (two litters of 4) again my vet assured me it was not genetic, it is a known fact large litters can bring on eclampsia..... Mercedes (Hatties offspring) has NOT had it (litter of 3)!

So draw your own conclusions and do what bests fits in your breeding program without judging mine!

Plain and simply....every bitch is different!
