You are correct, you have not passed judgement on anyone else's breeding practices, at least not that I have seen...very respectable. I for one, do not question your practices or your vet's, because if for no other reason, it's none of my business. You seem to have alot of success in what you do, which should be enough to speak for itself for anyone. I have learned alot from you and your posts, both here and elsewhere on this forum. Yes, things were taken personally that should not have been. It is easy thing to do when your outlook and comments in one thread reappear in another time and time again...doesn't appear to the naked I as if it is directed at you, unless you are that individual. I for one am done here...if this thread doesn't get locked before I get done typing. Hopefully everyone can get back to discussing the original post topic...if anyone can even remember what is was. God knows the "OP" has long since moved on...if she is smart. Robbie...very well said Kimberley...lemon in my tea, if you don't mind. | |

| Irene you have done a wonderful job with this thread concerning c-sections! If it has helped one breeder or prospective breeder it was worth it! Kim I completely agree with you.. Like I mentioned earlier on "YOU HAVE TO TRUST YOUR VET IF NOT FIND ANOTHER ONE!" That will make or break your breeding program! If you do NOT use a vet than shame on you and quit breeding! If you are a breeder that thinks you know it all you should retire from breeding! JMHO!!!! For those of you that do not like this thread than move on!! Please let the ones of us that are enjoying it keep enjoying it.. |

You are right! If one person learns from what I share then that makes me happy. I know I learned from this post. Getting an emergency back up plan should the power be out or something major. Thanks for the positive post Mel!! | |

In most cases, scaring/adhesions that are NOT calcified will not be clearly evident on X-ray. That is the same in humans...we can see some signs such as looking at an x-ray and seeing a puppy that is in a certain odd position and no other skeleton is evident to cause the oddity. There is evidence that something is there, but not definitive for adhesions. The adhesions in my opinion that we are really discussing is NOT the scar on the skin from the C-section incision.. That is almost cosmetic to describe it as small or non-noticeable. That also will NOT affect the delivery from the internal organs. Those internal adhesions that cause problems are not always a surgeons fault..Some dogs as well as some humans have certain scarring tendencies-I am one of the humans and EVERY surgery causes adhesions in me- I have known some moms who could not deliver not due to surgical adhesions but old uterine infections that were successfully treated and did not require a hysterectomy.. | |

| specialist If I was starting out, I would consult a specialist about the genetics for a good foundation. As to AI, Pregnancy loss, reabsorption, infection, pyrometa prostate ect..I have not encounter these issues in 33 yrs. You see, I am so old school...if it does not happen naturally, I figure there is a reason. I am not interested in breeding a male/female who needs AI. Most fertility problems are passed on to future stock. I do realize there are many good reasons to AI..but not for me..and I would only AI a tip top champion. If any stud will not breed, then he is a pet, not a stud dog and he is placed as a pet. Some may perfer AI to prevent STD's..but that has never been a problem for me. If a bitch does not concieve with two breedings from two different males, then she is also a pet, not a brood bitch and placed as a pet. In all my years of breeding I have had only two bitches not become pregnant by the second breeding. They were lovely girls, but my world did not stop because they did not conceive. I have never had a bitch with pyrometra. They are bred for perhaps 3 or 4 breedings, then spayed. I have been so fortunate as to never having a bitch with any type infection. I have had two with Eclampsia, but was able to prevent it in future litters for the mom. As to performing c=sections..I think a specialist would be nice, but I would be more comfortable with my long time vet..I know him. Sound stock is vital and need all tests possible. I am in no way anti-specialist. Thank you for posting what they do..and if I ever encountered these problems I would consider one. |

| Everyone does what they think is best. IMO Any female that needs a C-section will be spayed. I see no reason to repeat a C-section unless the Bitch is of irreplaceable quality. I also agree with Pat on the Reproduction specialist. Not that there is anything wrong with using one if they are close to you. I just don't think they are needed for normal breeding. |
