OMG. I'm so sorry that this happened to your mom and her poor baby. Did the other dog recently have puppies as well? The reason why I'm asking is that my sister used to raise Shih Tzu's and she had 2 that had babies within just a week or so of each other and the one that had the babies first killed all but 1 of the other puppies. This was Precious my Shih Tzu that I had for 15 years. Needless to say she was extremely spoiled. We also raised Pekes when I was a kid and we had one that whenever she had babies she just turned into a real bitch and if I remember correctly she snapped at a puppy once and left in blind in one eye. I'm sorry I can't remember if it was a puppy of hers or another one. I wish I could offer so comfort but, I'm not sure what to say. My sister was also 9 months pregnant at the time. I'm surprised that the sight of that didn't send her into labor. Again, I'm so sorry this happened to you & your family.

| Oh, I'm so sorry for your loss! You must be devastated. I'm not a breeder, but when I was about 3 our dog had puppies, and she killed them all herself. Of course, that may have been bad breeding, this was the 60's and she was a family pet who got pregnant "accidentally". People didn't have all the information they have now. Again, I'm really sorry for your situation. I'm sure many of the wonderful breeders on YT can help more than I can.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | OMGosh - I've heard stories of that happening but never knew anyone who went thru it - that had to be just awful ! Mother Nature was at work but I think ALL puppies should be protected from other females when born..... Your poor mom. That's very very sad and I'm so sorry this happened....With the mommy dog....someone may be able to help you help HER with her grief....I doubt giving her a stuffed toy will help but I've heard letting them spend time with her babies sometimes helps her realize what happened - The breeders can help you better. Poor Mommy..... Rest in peace little tiny angels....... |

| What a terrible experience. I'm so sorry for all of you. It is a good thing for all breeders to know of that possibility. Thanks for sharing. |

| thanks for the well wishes i will pass them on to my mum , i must say Dee Dee had her pups on Monday and i block the entrance to her room where she is nursing my other dogs always have to wait to meet new arriivals they are defenceless after all, and you can never say my dog would`nt do that , do you think it is because the neighbor came in and her instincts took over ? i do not know but my mum is breaking her heart she blames herself |

| why was another dog allowed around newborn pups? well mothers can be very protective of their babies .but why was a strange dog left alone long enough to kill yoour 4 puppies? did anyone not see or hear what was happening? i'm confused. sorry for the loss ,but if i'm reading things right it could have been prevented. |

| Such a sad story! So sorry for your mums loss. I agree with others that the new mom and and pups should have been confined... away from all other dogs.... for protection as well as for health reasons (not to expose the pups to anything). When the mommy dog's milk dries up she should be back to her old self. Again.... so sorry....

The way I understood it is, that they had no reason to believe that anything like this would happen as it had not happened before. That this is not a strange dog that they have had both for a while. You just never know what will happen. Yes it could have been avoided but it was a tragic accident. JMO

| I am so sorry this unfortunate accident happened, its very sad! Its always best to keeps moms and new babies totally separate until the pups are weaned. Whats surprising is the female didnt protect her babies! Moms are usually very protective, they usually will growl and bark at anyone (canine or humans they dont know) coming near their newborn babies, protecting them with her life.
