Need some help please..

Hi All

I was wondering could I get a bit of help please.

One of my lurcher bitches has got pregnant by a sheepdog not ideal , my mistake !!

Just wondering would the pups be any good for hunting, {{not expecting them to be that fast on the lamp etc but would be steady enough out ferreting maybe }} } lurcher is wheaton x grey x bull, not sure of the exact mix though she is 19tts and is the dog in my avatar.

 

My next question is how long after birth is the right time to start exercising her up again to have her hunting, ?I am not being cruel to her just want to make sure i do everything thats right by the dog,,is this season over for me before it has even started or can she start something about 10 weeks after birth ??

 

Any help greatly appreciated as always.

 

Cheers

As your topic appears to be in the wrong section, (a non hunting post), we have moved it to the appropriate forum.

Take her to the vets and have her jabbed to abort the litter if you have any doubts about it or don't want it. Can be done up to 6 weeks into the pregnancy (so my vet says).

Better scenario in the long run IMO

Thanks Lads

this is wanted to do but didnt want to sound cruel in getting rid of the pups, Can i ask are there any implications with the bitch getting this jab?will it affect her, any side effects I should be aware of ?Rang the vet and she cant see me till monday morning...

 

cheers as always
