You said they had been keeping the big dog in their backyard for two weeks at that time. So it really wasn't the neighbor's fault afterall? The dog broke into the backyard? All this time I have been sooo angry with those people and then to not take her to he vet or even know she's pregnant! Are these the neighbors that use you hose without permission too? What is wrong with people? That poor little girl, but I guess this proves Dr. Root Kustritz correct when she said this: Bill Sones and Rich Sones Richmond.com Saturday, October 15, 2005 Q. From a Spokane, Washington reader: Recently I have noticed a lot of media attention given to artificially inseminated mixed-breed dogs. If a very small dog like a teacup poodle is inseminated with a large breed dog like a St. Bernard, would the mother (1) abort (2) have one live birth puppy (3) have her life endangered?" A. Generally not one and three, more likely two which may also include a litter of live births, says animal reproduction specialist Dr. Margaret V. Root Kustritz, University of Minnesota small animal theriogenologist (from the Greek therio = beast, gen = birth, ology = study of). "I get this question all the time. Dogs are plenty driven by urges to breed or be bred regardless of their mismatched sizes so artificial insemination might not even be necessary." Once the female is pregnant, the puppies will grow to the size available to them, so even though it seems counterintuitive, a small female dog can carry pups from a giant breed male dog. Even where there is no size mismatch, says Kustritz, if a female dog has only one pup, it will grow to fill the space, thus becoming larger and more likely to cause dystocia (difficulty whelping) than would pups from a large litter. I take it she free whelped as well. That's good and no ruptured uterus. Congratulations on the litter...sounds like mommy knows what she is doing.

I remember when you posted about the mating, too, and how upsetting it was. I'm praying poor Ray Ray gets a clean bill of health from the vet. Please let us know.

Thank you - me too on the vet check - Back when this happened - I WAS upset - When Ray Ray was in heat - they had one big dog - (their daughters) out in the yard for 2 weeks straight - then another dog broke thru the fence - What I saw and tried to stop..... was 2 dogs on top of poor Ray Ray - they don't really know who did what ... I just know I was totally upset all day after that happened - and nope - they didn't take her to the vet after it happened.... though I did try to convince them - and no ....they didn't know she was pregnant till today.....after seeing puppies. I don't like the way they are as dog parents ...but they are trying really hard and I think will take care of the puppies - but Ray Ray shouldn't have had to go thru this in the first place. ps...they will be getting Ray Ray spayed - so all in all I think it will have a happy ending - and it looks like Chanel and Cheri will be getting more Spy buddies You guys are so great to talk to - after reading your replies I REALLY felt so much better and I know Ray Ray would thank you if she could ! | |

Thank you guys so much for the the helpful advise yesterday.... I don't know how you breeders do it - seeing that little dead puppy is still haunting me.... but the overall outcome is really good considering they didn't even know she was pregnant. Chanel is missing her girlfriend at the fence - she keeps looking for Ray Ray and cocking her head ...poor baby - her best friend is too busy for her now. | |
