Catlover, this is Canada's second and final litter with me. She's 5, so it's getting time to retire her. She had had 2 litters before I got her. She's a wonderful mom and has large healthy litters.

Her last litter was 13 pups, so I expect similar this time. My vet says as long as she's producing healthy litters that are that large, she's obviously not suffering any ill effects. 'Course she gets good quality food, beef liver, eggs and multi vitamins to help keep her built up. When she's nursing a large litter, she also gets puppy formula on her food each day.

Marilyn, what's even more remarkable is that when she's not pg, she weighs 82 lbs... so she increases her body weight by 25%! There's a good reason I have her inside being pampered. LOL
