our dog is having puppies and when we were little our dog just gave birth without the help of anyone. Now all these websites are telling us that you need to cut the cords and tie them off. Is this really necessary?
"Self whelp" refers to a dog giving birth without assistance. It means the dog is able to deliver the puppies on its own without requiring any external help or intervention.
no
yes, she will deliver soon.
it depends on the dog it can take hours or it can take less
White German Shepherd puppies can be bought on the website germanshepherd and highlandergermanshepherd. They will then deliver your new dog in New York.
yes it does because we need to help out with the dogs
That's impossible for anyone on Wiki to know. She should be taken to the vet and be examined. They can do an ultrasound early or an X-ray later in the pregnancy to see how many puppies there are. Breeding an older dog is somewhat risky and she may resorb some of the puppies or deliver stillborn ones.
Yes, check with your vet. Only if the pregnancy is too far advanced it may be risky for the mother. But it is so important as a means to stop more unwanted puppies being born (and their puppies and their puppies...). When a dog is in season she cannot be spayed (too risky), but when she is pregnant yes.
probably not. only if that dog has puppies.
it best not to have puppies with a dog from a dog shelter
Dogs are in season twice a year - the actual dates depend on the individual dog's biological clock.
