I was wondering what anyones thoughts are concerning this scenerio.
Two 1/2 sister females living, eating and playing together all their life. Oldest female delivers a healthy litter. Would you expect the mother of this litter to accept her 1/2 sisters interference or approarch to her litter? Would this vary between animals and their temperament?
ofcourse i cannot speak for yours or anyone elses dogs, but about 15 years ago, we had 3 sisters, 2 of which we bred. these girls were so protective of their litters that they allowed no one but our immediate family near the pups; certainly no other dogs. i have always felt it best to keep moms and pups away from the hub-bub and as quiet as possible. that way she can settle down to the business of rearing the pups without upsets or trauma. (better milk too)
if there are no dogs in heaven, then when i die i want to go where they went. ---will rogers
I agree with Patricia wholeheartedly! Do not attempt this unless you are willing to lose your litter, it is less likely to go well than not.
When my bitch is close to whelping she is the only dog on this floor of the house. Conversely she also allows only one human on this floor at that time as well- me. It is her safe place. My male gets kicked out of my bed and into the breezeway. Such is life..
Hormonal fluctuations alone can cause strange things- do not add stress to the mix.
