LizT Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 When Crystal had her singleton she stood and delivered it, with me taking the pup into my hands to avoid a fall or pull on the placenta. When she delivered the recent three pups she got up each time and repeated this process. My other bitch, Bonnie, who had six pups in her litter, lay down and delivered all whilst laying down. I would imagine laying down is the norm. Seems my girl Crissy is a bit of a "bush Ranger". :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SparkyTansy Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Ari was quite a mover... lots of back arching but it was a combination of sitting and standing... the more difficult ones she was standing. A few weeks after her litter was born I helped a friend with hers, and her bitch stayed in the same spot the whole time, lying down... she barely moved and did very little of anything!! it was quite a surprise compared to Ari's rather active whelping.

piper Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Jazz sounds like Ari - she was quite active. moving around the box. She would lay down in between but stand up as soon as contractions started again. She only had a few visible contractions for each pup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baileys mum Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 My girl delivered every one of her 9 standing up. Same with my girl, she had 9 too with her last litter....8 with her 1st all standing up. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see what position she chooses should she have a second litter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyntervale Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 It's quite interesting to see how different all the bitches are... Lola started standing up but finished lying down, not sure if she was tired or just finding it easier to keep track of the ones she already had in that position.
