How can that be for me when I never even seen the pups nor did the lad who had her when she had them as he was at work when she gave birth by the time he got back she had eaten them

Same with me shaddy bitch had her pups late evening! Kept eye on her till she had last one left her to it under heat lamp, so pups weren't handled at all! Just nature I suppose!

The bitch will kill/eat them if there's something wrong with them from my own experience. Atb dc

Like weakness of pups or deformed etc? We just put it down to her being a bad mother haha

[Leggy65 36]

Nothing wrong with pups my bitch had just don't think she wanted them full stop! Can't alter nature!

In my honest opinion through years of being around pups ,heat lamps are the cause of a lot of issues after birth .

Really FD? What brings you to that conclusion then mate?

[chilli 381]

Stress is a big cause the bitch can lose the pups after whelping & They don't like been in the same kennels with other dogs when whelping or have young pups .

Fd I've had terriers lurchers and hounds for 36 years in all them years I've never had any trouble with heat lamp, in fact pups love it at only two days old are led all over welping box and not huddled together fo keep warm, takes a lot of pressure off the bitch! IMO
