I saw 3 people here on yt, that lost the mom during childbirth in less than 2 weeks. These folks were experienced too.

During their grieving process over the moms, they had to feed the puppies every 2-3 hours around the clock. One, so far has lost 2 of the puppies. Thats heartbreaking to me.

I'd actually got Venus, thinking I'd breed her and Adonis. After seeing this, I changed my mind totally. Venus will be spayed in Dec, and Adonis neutered in Jan. No way could I loose my beautiful girl! And I know Adonis would much rather have a playmate to stick around for many years.

I know very little about breeding, just what I've learned reading here, since August. But I've learned enough to know its something I can't do. C-sections aren't cheap, and loosing the mama, is more expensive than a c-secion and would break my heart.

Folks here just trying to give you the facts. I didn't believe it till this past month, when I saw 3 loose thier mama dogs.

I thought I'd dearly love to get into breeding. But I know I couldn't feed puppies every 2-3 hours while grieving the loss of another dog. Then loose puppies too, after feeding them every 2-3 hours around the clock? No way, not for me anyway.

I've learned through others here. I hope you stick around and read a lot on this before you decide to breed too. I didn't think anything could change my mind but it did.
