Pictures and Stories
Italian Greyhound having puppies
"Five newborn, two day old Italian Greyhound puppies. I bought my dog from an I.G. breeder about a month ago. She was pregnant when I got her and didn't know until this last Monday the 13th. She then had the puppies on the 15th. I was completely ignorant to what I was doing so I printed the whelping manual from your website and it helped immensly. It guided me to cutting the ambilical cord on one of them and hand delivering two of them."

Some breeders use hemostat clamps, and trim off the long cord themselves. Some dams do well with cord care, some do not.

Although this section is based on a
whelping of an English Mastiff, it also contains good general whelping
information in large breed dogs. You can find more whelping information in the links above. The links below
tell a story about Sassy, an English Mastiff. Sassy has a wonderful temperament.
She loves humans and Adores human children. An all around mild mannered,
wonderful Mastiff. Sassy however is not the best mother towards her puppies, she
is not rejecting them, she will nurse them when a human places them on her to
feed, however she will not clean the pups or pay any attention to them. It is as
if, they are not her puppies. This litter is getting moms milk, with major human
interaction, manually giving each and every pup what they need. In return, the
pups will be super socialized and will make remarkable pets, however the work
involved is astounding. It takes one dedicated breeder to keep this situation
healthy. Thankfully this litter has just that, a dedicated breeder. Read the
links below to get the full story. There is a wealth of info that everyone can
appreciate and benefit from.
