Yeah... hopefully not that bad ;0) Any menton of the dentist gives me goose bumps :0(

Well they seemed ok with it and it was not as bad as I was expecting... If mia had not done all that damage to hers I think I would have left them intact but hey if it saves them suffering later like she did!!

I have to have a rant for a minute so please all forgive me. I have had a telephone call from the stud dogs owners today, I informed them the number of puppies Mia had, that we lost one and everything that happened with the whelping etc.

They told me it was my fault mia obviously had them alone and ate them!!!!! i know that dogs can do this but what a nasty thing to say. AAAAAHHHHHHHH I was with my little girl every minute since her temp dropped (ok so I had the odd toilet break when I absolutely had to) When I informed them this, then she had obviously had them outside when I took her out whilst in whelp and I should check my garden for puppies..... I again told them I followed her out wth a torch shining at her back end while she relieved herself in case a pup did pop out. According to them boxers never have such small litter and they have been speaking to people and everyone agrees with them Mia must have had more and I was not there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The fact that we had lost the girl... All my fault obviously!!!

I was so happy when my girl had her 3 puppies and she was ok after the tough time she had, the apparant lack of puppies was never a concern of mine, I was relieved when the vet told me there were no more to come if I am honest after the length of time it took poor Mia to give birth to the 3.

I am trying my best and giving it my all throughout Mia's pregnancy and whelping.. Feel really let down and hurt!

Sorry I have vented and calmed down a little now ;0)

aww hun dont worry they obviously have no idea what theyre talking about.. you done good by mia and you done everything for little girl.. you had 2 lovely healthy little boys and your such a good grandmommy / midwife :)
it may be rare for small litters in boxers i dont really know bcoz i dont know much about the breed but i do know its not impoosible.. i have always been told its usually down to genetics im not sure though

but one thing i do know is these people dont sound very nice and all of us on preloved know you done good by mia and you shoud be proud ...just ignore them hun and rant away all you want.. you have goood reasons too :)
why does it bother them how many pups there were anyways?
stupid people
hold ya head high hun yu know the truth ..they can think wat they like

Thank you Kitty,

You know I even felt obliged to check my garden which I have. Under big plants, in Mias run. In my boys sandpit... (Don't know how a pup would have been born in there as the lid is bungee'd on but thought better to be safe)...

Laura, i bet it has more to do than that! what was in your contract was it that under three coloured puppies you get a free covering next time! bet it was, i know of only one pup in a litter and in fact she is being advertised on epupz and they named her uno, the fact is that if you do get a free covering you wouldnt want to go back to them anyway, enjoy the two you have they are far better than any programme on tele and will keep you amused for hours, hard work but worth every minute, regards Jane

well never harms to check but still think what the stud owners were totally out of line... do they even have a female the breed to be telling you how it is? coz i mean its alright knowing the bits about mating doesnt make them experts on breeding aye

Jane.

I think you are onto something there... They still advertise him as having between 7 & 8 in every litter!!!! But you are right i would not go back to them again.
I had a look at your website and your dogs are beautiful!! (Marbelton too!!!)

I would really like to start to show boxers but really do not have the faintest idea where to begin. I have just sent cheque off to join Midland Boxer Club which I was advised to do... Any tips at all would be appreciated!

Aww Laura, take no notice - they're job has been done, they are nothing to do with you now!
Yes they made horrible comments, but you should have told them to check this thread - its OBVIOUS you were there every second, you documented EVERYTHING here!! lol
You did your best with the little one which passed away, and that is none of their business either. Obviously, they are only in this breeding thing for the money! They really dont have a clue. There is never any steadfast amount of pups which any breed will have - always approx!
Take no notice. Amateurs!! lol

thanks Nobby!! Their parting comment was that I would have lost money with this litter... which I agreed (I have) but reminded them that my girl is ok and so is her 2 boys and I did not do this to become rich!!!

I hope I am not butting in but I velieve you have mated one of your dogs recently? if so I emailed Kitty a guide for breeding, whelping and rearing pups... You may already have found it on line but if you would like me to send it to you too let me know my email is [Log in to view email]

Laura its not the stud dog that produces the number of pups its the bitch as she is the one that has the eggs, he produces millions of swimmers so to speak so if it was left to him we would have rather large litters!!!! as for showing go to your local ringcraft club or the boxer club match nights and they will show you all you have to do, have fun regards Jane

Hi Jane,

Yeah I understand that about the stud dog, his ability I never quetioned... his other litters have been between 7 & 8 pups just not Mia's. Hence the stud owners attitude about Mia having more than she did. I believe its the same as us that the dog determines the sex? and the bitch determines number of pups. Obviously sperm count plays a part too.... I also read that you are likely to have more in a litter if they mate and tie more than once in a season? I presume that this is because the bitch ovulates more than once in her season and increases your chances of more being fertilised?

I have just sent my cheque off to join Midland boxer club. So will have to go and have a peek to see what goes on in shows. Then I can hunt for a pup to show...

Sorry to sound dense but can I actually take ring craft lessons?

yeh you can take ring craft classess :)

and yh i read if you mate more than once you get a bigger litter too. not sure how true it is either i also read somewhere it can count how big your dogs mums litters were but i dont know how true that is either... the mating one makes sense though :)

What nasty people! No wonder you were upset Laura, as the others have said ignore what they said. My dog had 2 pups on her own before I knew she was in labour and they were fine, and it was her first litter as well. There is no way they know that she has eaten them, you would have seen signs of her wanting to do that to all of them, and you were there from the start. Obviously, unlike you, their main concern is money not for the bitch or pups,

Try to forget what they said and enjoy your pups.
