[Richie12345]

[Love4Pits]

uh oh, this sounds bad. How old is she?
My exact thoughts

[beagle_lovergirl]

How can it be an accident but you know the pups will be brindle colored? Anyway, read up on some books quick and ask lots of questions here. When was she bred? A bitch usually stays 63 days in gestation (am I right?)

Well, considering that this was indeed an unplanned and irresponsible accident you better get ready and prepare yourself for these new babies. AND YOU NEED TO know when she is due. Pay the money and have an ultrasound done so you can at least know how many puppies to expect and how far along she is. Get a whelping box ready, make sure she is on a good quality food, and set $1000 aside for a possible c-section! I hate to be blunt, but this is the least of what your dog deserves.

Breeding and puppies, accidents or not, are a HUGE responsibility. Dogs and puppies die in shelters everyday because of these types of accidents. I am not trying to be mean, I am trying to be honest. :(

Thats always a posibility with any birth.

[beagle_lovergirl]

What he said. Even the best bred bitches can die in birth.

[bichon_lover]

shes 6 and there gonna be brindle cause she and the father are brindel ill ask my mom she took her to the vet the other day dont worry there gonna be born natural ok is that all the questions if you have more pm me

[nedim]

[beagle_lovergirl]

What showpug meant about the c-section is that she might need help. The pups are too big, etc. It's just in case.

[bichon_lover]

i dont think that will happen if it does theres a vet office 3 mins away from our house we might put up sighns or somthin we doont have homes lined up

You never know.....It's actually very probable (ok, spelled that wrong!). What books have you read?

[nedim]

You need definately make that a priority. Put signs or flyers up before the birth to find good homes. Check them out. and get your dog spayed.

[moe]

Bishon are you a very young person? maybe your mother has more information about the dates the pups are due, sorry if I am mistaken, but I get the feeling you are quite young.

Mo

[bichon_lover]

no im not young at least not that young if i let loose id get banned i read some things in a 101 page book about breeding i read another book 50 pages about breeding and another 32 page book about breeding my momk just hasent told me i dont see her alot and she said she read 5 other books ill ask her the next time i see her

[beagle_lovergirl]

And none of those tells about Gestation Period and C-sections?

[bichon_lover]

i know nothing about surgey but i do know about the dog body

[showpug]

Bichon lover...I am not trying to scare you, but I am trying to introduce a small amount of something called reality. Six years old is one year away from senior citizenship for dogs and it is very old for a bitch to have a litter, let alone her first! I hate to break it to you, but I worked in a vet clinic for 5 years and c-sections are a very common practice for some bitches that can't deliver on their own. There is no way to know if she is going to have a speedy natural delivery or need an emergency c-section to deliver the pups at this point. I hope it's easy for her though. You need to understand that the members of this forum take dogs and breeding very seriously. We all care very much about the lives of all dogs and their situations. So, if we seem very nosey or judgmental that's not really how we mean it, we are just concerned for the welfare of you dog and her future puppies. With all the dogs waiting in shelters on death row, it saddens some of us when we hear of another accident litter. :(

Yes she can or the puppies could die or come out deformed or green

[nedim]

Green??

[Love4Pits]

Green??
yup not bright breen but dark their usually dead or very deformed
Also
NEVER EXPECT YOUR DOG TO DELIVER A LITTER BY HERSELF.
Although animal whelping is a 'natural event' this does not mean that the animal does not get into serious trouble if left unattended.
Mother and puppies frequently die because the owner thoughtlessly left her alone during this crucial time

What are they green from?

[MyDogsLoveMe]

ok I think we have all scared this poor woman to death. I know how hard it is when you have a unplanned preg. and then tryiing to figure out what to do. Putting up signs is a great idea, or even advertise in your local newspaper. I would definately have an ultrasound done. When I was breeding my peks I had to have one done because we were not sure on the date of conception. The bitches are preg. for roughly 9 weeks. I was glad I did because she was preg with 6 pups and we ended up having a c-sect. done. After all is said and done, just take a deep breath and get everything ready for the birth. Keep her in a quiet place when it is getting close to time and just be there because there is a good chance that you may have to help deliver them. Keep your chin up... At least you were trying to get her fixed. Thats good on your part.

[bichon_lover]

ok we will get a ultrasound toady or asap ok i am a little worried

[Richie12345]

ok we will get a ultrasound toady or asap ok i am a little worriedSo why didn't you get her neutered sooner?

[bubbatd]

I wish I could put in more comments as this really bothers me !!!! I'm leaving tomorrow and won't be back here until Sept. 5th. How can this be an accidental litter with another pitt ??? You have left something out !!! Was this with a littermate or mother or father ?? I wish you had looked into stopping the pregnancy ....it's sad to do , but better than bringing poorly bred pups into the world.

[beagle_lovergirl]

So why didn't you get her neutered sooner?

Spayed ;)

Neuter-Male
Spayed-Female

lol

[Gallien Jacks]

The more I read the crosser I am getting Grrr, sorry but you here this so much and i dont think you are listing to whats being said! Why dont you tell us all your plans? Such as what do you have ready so far, do you know what signs to look for when labour starts? Do you know when to call the vet? What about cord cutting etc do you know how to do this do you have the tools needed? Are you giving her a puppy food? How do you help a stuck pup? I could go on forever!

[nedim]

Are you going to keep all of the pups? If not, what age will they be seperated from the mom?

[Love4Pits]

Spayed ;)

Neuter-Male
Spayed-Female

lol
their really the same thing

[Richie12345]

their really the same thingyeah, but it's like a inside joke

[moe]

I think now iits like closing the barn door after the horse has bolted, although we all have thoughts regarding unplanned litters, its too late now to change the fact that this litter is on its way, it would now be prudent to give constructive advice, so that this litter comes into the world healthy and try to minimise the risks to the mother, and hope that the message that unplanned litters can be avoided by spaying and neutering in future.

Mo

[bichon_lover]

i have everthing under control she expected in a 2 weeks and her litter mate is another pitt and it mighjt be a hunting dog as the father i looked into it shes fine ok

[bubbatd]

Please look into proper whelping.

[Bichon Lover]

just to tell you i lost my password thats why i havent been on and just to tell ya the pups are over a month old and healthy we got four male pups

[Richie12345]

congrats. what are you gonna do with the pups?

[BlackDog]

Just thought I'd point out that in some counties its illegal to sell pit bulls. I don't know what state you live in or what county but you should look into call up your local law enforcement and ask before you put out signs to sell these puppies. You don't want to end up in trouble. I live in oakland county Michigan and it is illegal here.

I'm also am glad to hear the litter and dam are doing well this far. I would still strongly recomend you read some post-delivery dog books. There is alot to know about raising and rehoming a litter successfully. This book is a great example.

"Breeding A Litter: The Complete Book of Prenatal and Postnatal Care" by Beth J. Finder Harris.

The drawback is it's a bit pricy for the size: 254 pages. But it is a hard cover. It's blue and has a litter of boxers on the front with the dam. I got it at borders 2 years ago for $38.99 However, it's one of the best informative books I've read on dog breeding. Every breeder, or who is thinking about becoming one, should have it

Another good one is this.

"The Chinese Shar-Pei" by Ellen Weathers Debo

I know it's about shar-peis but it provides some great information on breeding, raising puppies, and re-homing the litter. I found this one at the dollar store, of all places. It's a thick hard cover book that's blue with a Shar-pei on the front. It's 256 pages. Despite the fact that I got it at the dollar store it's exactlly VERY informative and well written. Not something you'd exspect to find at a place like that. So if you can't find the first book or need to save some cash buy this one.

[Bichon Lover]

no,I don't think its illigel in VA and we aren't selling them were giving them away we will give them away to friends and we gave the one away that looks most like the father

[Boxer*Mom]

So will you now spay her, and did you stress the importance to the new owners of the pups to spay to prevent this in the future?!

[SiberianMaster]

I hope all goes well for you and your dog.

[SummerRiot]

Did you happen to get any pictures of the pups at all??
How are they doing now, do they all have prospective homes? I'm glad you didn't have a full litter for your sake.

[Bichon Lover]

So will you now spay her, and did you stress the importance to the new owners of the pups to spay to prevent this in the future?!
of course i'll spay her and i did find good owners there all my friends that i see every day.
