 breeding
AND you hit on the magic words.."new breeders"...I would not advise a new breeder to do many things I read here...much is learned with time and experince.
I have had breeder friends call me because their bitch was not acting right after a whelping...I would go to take a "look/see"...once I walked into the room and could smell infection (pyometra) and one time it only took a look at the bitches grimace to know she was going into eclampsia...I am not bragging about what I can do, I am simply stating a fact..it takes lots of hands on to prevent these problems and I respect the choices of a well seasoned breeder.
If a fairly new breeder starts out with sections, infections, eclampsia, etc..it is best to buy another bitch and spend lots of time with a mentor. |
