Another option to consider

I'm not so worried about the deliveries as I am taking care of that many pups from 3- 8 weeks of age! I've been in on deliveries where I've had to pull pups, and such before. My EMT background also helps so I'm not too worried about that. Being a poodle, Moses is considerably narrower than the females are, so that too should help as far as delivery.

What I dread is if they both have medium- large litters; trying to keep the areas clean and having enough time to properly socialize and handle the pups. With 2 litters I could easily have 16 - 24 pups to take care of! That's a lot of poop and puddles... lol I'd love to be able to borrow help for that time frame. Hopefully if I put out the word that I need help cuddling and playing with puppies I'll be able to get some volunteers.

Oh my, Tink. You will have your hands full if both have pups. A lady we used to know well, is a lab breeder. She had quite a time keeping up with her litters and lost some pups in bad weather. However, she had hers in a kennel setup in the very back of her yard. I always felt sorry her dogs because they seemed to crave attention whenever I was there & they were too large for her to let them out when people were over. They'd knock you down.

WOW! How scary and exciting! Good luck keeping up with all those pups Tink!

I'm sure you'll get help. It sounds like a wonderful community. Maybe you can get some high school kids after school for a few dollars also.

If I lived nearby, I'd be there in a heartbeat.

When will they be due?

Tink · 07-10-2007, 07:54 PM

I'm calculating a Sept 9 due date based on the first time we saw them together. It could be a few days later of course, but in that neighborhood at least.

I wish I could kidnap a few of you to come help me when the time comes! LOL

Marilyn · 07-11-2007, 03:34 AM

I'd like to be there, too. I always wanted to breed a dog and have puppies, but know that at least now I'm too busy to be a responsible breeder, and not sure hubby and I want to be that tied down. We've raised livestock before, cattle and chickens, and know what a responsibility it can be. Helping you would be wonderful!!!

judy · 07-11-2007, 05:49 AM

We'll be there in spirit!

I would love to come and help too. I would love to get a female yorkie to go with Reuger and have puppies but I don't know the first thing about breeding.
