In the case of my friend, these are top winning show dogs. Why take a chance? Also, she said that some large breeds are just prone to smothering their puppies.
They don't try to, it just happens.
Ok. If you breed her again be prepaired to take the pups away and hand raise them. I have a friend who breeds Bull Mastiffs. She
says that her females do the same thing, so she does not even take any chances. She puts the pups in her bath tub and hand raises them.
