hi newbie, going through her first litter
hi everone im hayley, i have a dalmatian called jess (3 years old) and she had her first litter sat morning, im new to breeding aswell, she had 6 pups 2 didnt make it one was very small wasnt breathing right died withing a few hours and one wasnt breathing as she came out jess tried to get her breathing going them we had ago but sadley she didnt breath, was a happy and also very sad day, so she has 2 boys and 2 girls, we had a problem as the last one came out 4 hours apart from the rest of the litter and that one wont suckle so im tube feeding as he wont suckle a bottle either, but he's a big lad not as big as the rest but he has a nice temp and is gaining weight, so im up every 2 hours putting them on the teats and feeding the other one, i knew her having a litter wouldnt be easy but it is much more hard work than i first thought, we recenlty got another dalmatian called ozzie he's a year old, think they didnt want him because he whines alot (vet cant find a health reason for this), i finding it hard to break this habbit altho after his long walks he doesnt do it as much but it can go right through me, i love this breed as there so vocal but he take this a step too far lol, he is the classic clown dog, where as jess another one we got around 6 months old she was so badley behaved when we got her but with a lot of hard work she's just about perfect altho she is another one who will do anything for food doesnt matter how much shes eaten.
if you got through that without falling asleep just wanted to add my spelling wont be all that great as im not running on much sleep at all, cant wait to meet everyone
