Congrats and all that.

 

And it might just be me, but i dont understand the compulsion to take photos of the pups as they drop etc, personally i'd leave the bitch to it, and just keep an eye out for any problems.

i was thinking the same, and that comes with no disrespect to labsnlurchers, but surely the less stress the bitch encounters the better, and let nature take its course, but obviously keep an eye on her for any problems she might have, best of luck with the pups, and all the best to you,

 

cheers,

ARE you letting the bitch chew the abilical cord they look very short i normally cut mine with blunt scissers then tie cotton round them to prevent any chance of hemarage, of course nature has done it naturally for years but thats what i do

[labsnlurchers 39]

this is just the way i do it, take a pic, get a weight, colour and sex then make sure its feeding...never had a problem yet but i suppose you have to know the bitch and the bitch has to trust you. I keep a track on wieght then for the first couple of weeks so i know instantly if there are any problems with feeding

The bitch is sorting the cord out, i keep an eye on her though, they look short in the pics but they are about 2"

I wasn't knocking you, i just don't think i have much interest in the sex, color, weight at birth, or taking a photo as the pop out, so maybe that;s why. As long as the birth goes well, and the bitch is looking after them, then i'd leave them be, and have a look at the sex etc, later on, same with weighing them, although to be honest, your eyes / easr should tell you there is a problem, without costant weighing.

 

JUst seems these days, that with pups, and same with ferret kits, folk want to take all of the vital stats and take lots of photos and generally get involved from the word go, rather than giving the bitch her own space, peace and time to do her thing.

 

Good luck though!

Lovely...good for you, im sure you know what your doing, i knew somebody would piss on your parade. Really gets on my tits when people start ranting on thinking they know better when they've only been in the game two minutes.
