May need to restrain her next time...JJames79https://www.blogger.com/profile/16678040826798844546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734462636905794264.post-25341143289442035902014-07-16T04:24:50.967+09:002014-07-16T04:24:50.967+09:00Here I thought I was just getting a trial-by-fire ...Here I thought I was just getting a trial-by-fire on my first litter. :(<br /><br />It really is stressful, heartbreaking, and frustrating - but as this litter approaches 8 weeks, I'm already finding that I'd like to see how they turn out... and maybe do it again once I'm more knowledgeable.<br /><br />Masochistic? Maybe.Crisphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04778920208503720669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734462636905794264.post-74295565910563912602014-07-15T21:05:26.831+09:002014-07-15T21:05:26.831+09:00Is Baycox also in your pharmacy?

Since the dogs are not socialized, owners are not comfortable having their show dogs in danger of being injured, so the female is often restrained. Of course there are plenty of females who are willing to be bred, but for the ones that are not, it's usually a temperament issue (which is why breeders here like to breed early, so that females are used to the idea. Once they're adults it's much harder).Katohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15300152062353477753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734462636905794264.post-91769525273927726632014-07-15T18:56:41.705+09:002014-07-15T18:56:41.705+09:00Wow! 15 dogs.

It must be rough having to give any of them up, not to mention losing any of them, after working so hard. <br /><br />This is the first I've heard about the females having to be forced to mate. Do you know, is this a temperament thing, or does it have to do with the unusual and split heats I've been reading about? Hopefully you can get Sakura to do her part. I'm sure if you keep trying it's bound to stick eventually.lasohaneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11350618938937604933noreply@blogger.com
