Dog birth thread! *warning, puppy photos*

Our dogs is giving birth and me and my brother are the only ones home! One pup already! Thankfully I called mom and she's on her way!

Having litter after litter after litter is seriously depleting her body. She isn't getting a chance to completely bounce back after any of these litters

My family bred dogs my entire life

Same here
We just had a litter 3 days ago
They can only be bred once a year to keep the mom healthy and happy
Thank you

Dogs are supposed to stop breeding at 4-5 years old and are only supposed to have 4-5 litters depending if you give them a break or not a year

She used to go once a year, but now it's two.

Very bad on her body

She used to go once a year, but now it's two.

That’s not healthy poor puppy

I am by no means trying to be rude or hurtful, but please consider speaking to your family about proper breeding (or stopping completely). Having litters back to back gives the mother no time to recover and can cause the puppies to be born weaker or stillborn. You're also putting her at very high risk of developing pyometra.

Dogs need time to build up all of the energy/protein/vitamins/etc that they need for the puppies. Continuously giving birth depletes them of this. She needs a break or to be spayed.

Please @Mutchi contact your vet for assistance with your dog if necessary.

Hi! Again... but we have a girl now! Just two tho, about 4 hour between them! Boy and a girl!

4 hours? Your supposed to need vet assistance if another puppy isn’t born 2 hours between each puppy… are all the puppies born now?

ethical breeding is done very specifically

health tested parents
proper puppy raising (star puppy, theres more cant think. different breeders do different programs)
usually most breeders only have 2-3 litters out of a dog, for their lifetime.
they breed to better their breed. In conformation or sport
every litter is better or as good as the last.
etc.

none of that is being done here. It would be best to spay the dog. Maybe you can't, but know this for the future so you don't continue hurting animals once you have your own.
