    Porthos,
    If you do get some live pups from her, when you bring them home (hopefully you got to the Vet).. you MUST watch them all closely for 24/48 hours to make sure that the Mom doesn't get freaked out by the pups, that they are nursing, that they are warm enough (remember that newborns do not have a "shiver" reflex and need to be kept warm, especially if Mom is out of the whelping box), make sure they are nursing. You should be weighing them daily to make sure they are gaining weight. You need to give Mom 3x's the amount of food or more then she would normally get and high in protein/fat and most important lots of water available.

    Also you need to keep the male away from her and the pups… she could hurt the pups just trying to keep the male away.. or there have been cases of the males killing pups...

    I have learned far too much about this industry and know that because a dog is registered AKC doesn't mean that the pup is well bred and even from humane conditions. I sent the AKC an e-mail after learning a great deal about the puppy mill industry and they have not responded. If you wish to really know more you can look for the National Mill Dog Rescue and check out the ASPCA. The national government won't pass FDA legislation to protect animals from unhealthy to down right cruel conditions. I always encourage everyone I know that if they wish to get a pure bred dog to find a rescue or meet the breeder and see the conditions the puppies are from. The AKC gets millions of dollars every year from people "registering" litters online. Anyone can register if they want to fill out the paper work.

    Well put, Dash. I don't think the issue was so much the language or tone in which the responses were delivered but more that they were not what webedoggies wanted to hear. And as a result webedoggies was instantly unwilling to consider advice coming from people highly qualified to give it. All we can hope for now is that he/she thinks twice.
