@kurat Great response. Starting with a male is kind of like putting the cart before the horse. Every good breeding program starts with a quality bitch. And a kennels strengths are generally measured in the depth of their bitches more than the dogs. But the dogs can have a huge impact on a breed...

@metatronscube We don’t change a bitches food once she’s bred. It can make the puppies to big because all the food goes to them once they are pregnant. We just make sure they go into pregnancy at the right weight then just feed them a normal meal.

@dukedesu The age of the bitch is not as much of a problem if she’s had litters before! We also have bred bitches as late as 8 but they’ve had more than one litter before. We know they carried a litter, delivered and raised them successfully. But this is a maiden bitch being bred for the first...

@liammansfield20 We palpate our bitches by hand, at exactly 4 weeks. For my breed, which is Siberian huskies, they are the size of golf balls and are pretty easily felt if you know what you’re looking for.

@princessbychrist In all honesty your dog is lucky. We would NEVER breed a bitch past 5 if she’s never had a littler. We RETIRE dogs from breeding at 7 and 8. That’s just very selfish and dangerous for your dog. If you love this dog do not try this again. It could kill her.
