Have we needed the extra degree of
coverage on the subsequent litters?
With Gwendalyn, whelping was never
straightforward. She had her second
litter via a C-section that was not
planned but as we monitored the labor
it became clear that this was the only
way we’d safely deliver all 10 puppies.
Her daughter has had a much easier
time in the whelping box, but I view the
service to be an insurance policy that for
me is well worth the fee.
Footnote:
Gwen, the subject of this story, will
celebrate her 15th birthday on June 18.
Happy Birthday Gwennie!
You were the start of it all!
Michele Wrath is a breeder of Dalmatians.
This most recent litter held none of the
drama of our first, thank goodness! The
whelping room was prepared well in
advance of the litter. I did underestimate
how soon the pups would arrive and the
day I thought I’d start monitoring was
the day that Ginger decided to have
her puppies. All is well. At this writing
the pups have begun to get up on their
legs and propel themselves across the
whelping box and the corners of their
eyes are showing evidence of opening
soon. When I come into the puppy
room Ginger jumps up to greet me and
the two of us sit outside the puppy box
and admire her kids. Could there be
anything better than puppies!
