Of course if you decide to sell these pups, you are prepared to offer a full health guarantee, should they have any genetic diseases. You'll need to set aside money for that too. What I wonder is, why did you breed your bitch at less than one year old? You do realize of course that this was putting your female at a whole lot of risk. Im glad your pups are healthy and hope that everything goes smoothly for you.

| Yes but I seriously doubt that is going to be a problem. Neither of my dogs have any health disease except my male dog has dermatitis, the important thing there is to keep their vacinations up to date to prevent any diseases from occuring. Shelby's birthday is June 13, 2009 so she was about a year old when she went into heat. I talked to CKC beforehand and they said dogs can have pups after they are a year old. The pregnancy was kind of a shock, my male dog didn't want to leave her alone, but she didn't let him bother her to the point that we thought she got pregnant. So I ended up having my brother take a look at her and he said she's definetly pregnant, and about a week later, the pups were born. I read that the risks involved with the first litter dying, is from if they do not eat well, or get too cold, during the first few days after they are born, but they are eating like piggy's, and gaining weight just fine. I feel really dumb about this but Shelby isn't having bloody mucus from her bowels, when I went to feed her today, the Ceaser food I've been giving her, I noticed the red colored slimy gravy in it, that is what she expelled in her bowels yesterday. Go ahead laugh, lol. |

I wish you the best with your litter, and I'm sorry to hear that you are yourself unwell. Just a reminder if she went into heat in June, she m ight go into heat again anywhere from 6mths on. say December 2010. You want to make sure she doesn't get pregnant again so soon after her first litter.

Whilst vaccinations and regular vet checks are an important part of insuring any dogs continued well being, what I was referring to are the important pre breeding and screening tests done to insure you are not passing on potential time bombs with regards to genetic disorders. CERF;s on both dogs should be done annually. for PRA Progressive Retina Atrophy. This is a genetic disease that causes eventual blindness in dogs. OFA for hips and elbows-knees - to determine dysplasia, and or luxating patellas BATS and full blood panel screen - helps to indentify potential LS and or other metaboloc disorders. It is of course your choice to do or not to do these tests, but these are the tests recommended for this breed prior to breeding.

| While some vaccinations are necessary, the common practice of over vaccinating by many vets can lead to a number of health issues, skin problems being one of them. If you are giving your dogs annual vaccinations you might want to read up on the dangers of over vaccinating. |

I would hope that before you breed these dogs again (if that's your intention) that you have them thoroughly tested. If you don't, then please get one or both "fixed", because as you found out, it doesn't take long for a tie to happen and litter to result. You no longer have the excuse of ignorance in this matter.
