Guest Ams Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) Got a referral today from a NSW Pound re a lady wanting to surrender her bitch and 3 x 10 week old puppies because she couldn't find homes for these three remaining puppies. Sounds kinda routine but bearing in mind the breed I specifically rescue has a life expectancy of 10 years, the bitch is FIFTEEN years old. Words failed me. Owner stated she knew I'd put the bitch down. Well no I won't but jeesus 15 and still having puppies! Apparently she had been responsible and put bitch pants on the gal whilst she was in season and she just doesn't know how her two male dogs managed to get them off her and tie. Yes I have someone driving interstate tomorrow to collect all four of em and bringing them to us. I just can't wait to see what condition she is in. I suspect I will be purchasing a lot of Science AD food. Edited September 7, 2012 by Ams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Her Majesty Dogmad Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 God love you! Poor, poor old dog. I enquired about an undesexed male and female yesterday advertised and was told that if the bitch came on heat, I only had to say "no" to the male and all would be well .... I'd laugh if it wasn't so scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lillypilly Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 We had a lovely bull terrier bitch and pups sent to us via our Pregnant Paws program. Mum was eclamptic and given poor nutrition - pups were 12 days old. This mum was 9 years old and the owners felt she was "menopausal" and surprised she had a "change of life" litter. Mum was returned to her owners desexed, vacc'd and chipped/registered. Puppies were rehomed by us with all vet work done. xx LP xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest donatella Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Humans fail these creatures so so so many times. Good on you Ams for taking them in. If it weren't for people like you picking up after these morons we'd be in a world of trouble :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bundyburger Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Ohh poor old girl. If our oldest wasn't such a fussy bum, I'd snaffle Mum up in a heartbeat once pups were old enough. Poor old girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ams Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Pups are 10 weeks old so should be weaned. Mum will be looking for a comfy couch to see out her days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph M Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Gosh, that's like my grandmother popping one (or 5?) out now. I can't imagine how many she's had prior! The dog, not my grandma! Haha. What breed is she, if you don't mind me asking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mumof4girls Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Ams will the bitch be desexed due to her age? Poor sweet girl ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Gifts Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Isn't this just a shocker? Old mumma will only be desexed if Ams wonderful vet thinks it is in the dogs best interests. I think there is already interest in a home for her where she can see out her days in comfort (and where she will be safe from further matings if desexing is too great a risk). We should know sometime today what condition they are all in once they arrive at Peiradise. There are some parvo probs where they come from so quarantine will be strict. I'll be at Ams next weekend so if she doesn't get around to adding any photos I'll take my camera and see what I can get. I'm secretly hoping she might let me foster a puppy or three when they are ready for that but I always love whichever pei comes here regardless. Ams do you know how many pups mumma actually had? Should we check this one with Mr Guinness in case it's a record????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ams Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 (edited) Mum and bubs have arrived. Surprisingly they are in reasonable condition. Never been wormed (but have now ). Two pups are very shy and the other is just OUT THERE. He is sooooo confident. Mum is a little stressed and snappy at the moment so I have taken the pups away from her. I didn't want to risk not being able to go in the pen if she was protecting them. Pups currently barking up a storm in my bathroom. I'm off to see if I can get an arvo nap. All of them are horsecoats (the super short spikey coats). PS is right. I will spey if the vet says it is okay to do so, if not then she will be placed in a permanent foster home.
