| bellemarie | 10-10-2010 12:33 PM | Ron, its all vey well complaining about everyone being hateful, but the fact is you own both the male and female involved and have stated that you knew she was pregnant and that she was due, so your pior research should have told you to be monitoring her Very closely (thats mentioned in most threads in the breeders section which if you were researching on this site i can only assume you read). the best advise that could be given has been given... Spay and Neuter.
there very well may have been genetic factors involved in the death of the 2nd pup and the fact that she willingly left the 1st pup and didnt frantically try to get back out to it suggests to me that she isnt an overly maternal dog (or that there was something wrong with that pup from birth and she knew it) so again, is another litter really in Her best intrests? would a sibling of hers not be a nice addition rather than subjecting her to another pregnancy and possible loss of pups?
if you insist on breeding her again, you must find out the actual reason for the death of both pups and address it accordingly.
remember you will have to wait at least a year before letting her have her next litter, so when shes due in heat again it is vital your male is kept away from her or is neutered. if this is not done and she gets pregnant next cycle then it will have been down to neglegence and not ignorance.
for the record, this is not a hateful reply- it is information, just like you asked for... i do not agree with your plans on future breeding at all and find it pretty rude that you didnt answer the questions asked by megansmomma or accept the advise given by countless other well known breeders who have given their opinions on this situation (and have been very helpful to me personally in past threads!) who are too many to mention)... if your not willing to work with the YTers then i very much see the general reasoning behind Not being helpful to you...
if you are going to leave, then simply YT then simply do so, without insulting the breeders and members here further. |
