If your dog still breathing heavy after giving birth last night to 10 puppies, it is time to call the veterinarian. She may have a stuck puppy that she cannot get out, or she may have retained one or more of the placentas. If she is panting heavily for more than 2 hours after giving birth, it is an emergency and you need to call the vet.
It is not normal for a dog to be still panting over 24 hours after birth. Something may be seriously wrong with her if she ate 11 puppies. Her temperature is actually quite normal, since 38.05 C is the same as 100.5 F, well within the range of normal for a dog. She could have a temperature of up to 102.5 F, or about 39.2 C, and still be normal. However, because she ate all the puppies and because she is still panting, she should be seen by a veterinarian immediately, to determine if she has a serious problem.
You need to take the dog to the vet. There may still be a puppy that she can't expel on her own. At this point the puppy is probably dead and the mom is at risk of an infection and if she is not treated she may die.
no because the puppies still need the milk
Typically Chinese Crested puppies weigh between 4 and 6 lbs at birth. However, it is not unheard of for some to weigh under 2 lbs and still grow to be perfectly healthy.
You could have puppies with birth defects when the parents mate with the puppies. If you plan on keeping them all together, you should neuter the puppies. The mum and dad will be interested in each other the next time the mum goes into heat.
A three month old Staffordshire is still young, and it is normal for puppies to tire easily. Puppies have short bursts of high energy, and then periods of nap time. The dog is likely getting hot during play and this causes the panting.

YES they definitely can. from lack of nutrition and their immune system can also be weakened.
If it was a large puppy it was probably dead at birth because it was too big. Small puppies usually survive birth as it is easier to fit through the birth canal.
Yes, they should. The airway is still cleared to make sure birth fluids are removed, but the pup should already be breathing.
Like humans, dogs have an after birth. After birth is the birth of the placenta. The placenta is what surronds the baby or in this case puppys during birth and protects them. It kind of looks like a mushy liver. If its not this then take your dog to the vet to be sure. =] Have fun with your puppies!
