auto Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 T-Time and they say breeding is a breeze, and you Make a heap of money out of breeding, LOL, and there is no envolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WreckitWhippet Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Been there and done that too. If you care about your sleep, then breedings not for you LOL I don't envy you at the moment. It's bad enough with 8 newborns that are all doing well and getting their share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t-time Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 (edited) He's a little fighter for sure Doing very well and as of yesterday afternoon, he's back on Mum but I am still supplementing. It's really hard to sleep with a baby nuzzling your neck - always in the "half" sleep if you get any but it's all worth it Edited because funnily enough, my brain isn't exactly WORKING properly!

mita Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 t-time, it's that kind of close care from breeders, from the earliest stage, which gives us pet owners the most beautifully socialised dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-time Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 Thanks Mita Also one of the reasons that I chose not to tube feed him - his Mum is still very involved with cleaning him and all the regular Mummy-love so I was hoping for a reunion and I got that when he started suckling properly which is brilliant. A lot more work though ;) Tubing is fantastic if you are having problems with the Mum but in this case, he just needed the extra care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiekaye Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 The breeder of my Ruby fed Ruby every two hours and kept her alive and Im so pleased she did. She was half the size of her litter mates, now over a year down the track she is the same size as her brothers and sisters and is the greatest dog. Good on you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Oh he's gorgeous. Makes me very sad as I lost a little one about three weeks ago after bottle feeding for five days. You do become very attached to the tiny ones as they fight so hard to stay with us. Good luck with him, he looks like he's thriving. Ellie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-time Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 (edited) I have had a TINY pup born in a litter where the biggest was 250gms and she was on 76gms - as an adult, she is now exactly the same size as her larger brother Edited August 31, 2010 by t-time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-time Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 Ellie - I'm so sorry...it was not my intention to upset anyone This guy is not out of the woods yet but he is shiny and seems very healthy so I've got my fingers crossed ;) I'm a firm believer in fate and sometimes these babies do go to the Rainbow Bridge despite our best efforts. I've had my share of those as well but you've got to keep your spirits up, hence this thread Thanks for the lovely comments guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
