British Dog Breeders
Mating and Whelping

Sooner or later, every experienced breeder encounters whelping problems. We are conditioned to accept, and even to expect problems with certain breeds. Worse yet, we’re told that bitches who deliver by caesarian may reject or even kill their puppies.

Customs originate because they once served a need. Unfortunately, we may continue to honor tradition because we don’t know there is a better way. The patience (and backs) of a lot of breeders have been strained in efforts to insure conception through the practice of elevating a bitch’s hindquarters. We have long been advised to hold her up at least ten minutes and most breeders believe twenty minutes is even better insurance. Many experts also employ other insider tips such as simulating the tie and stimulating the bitch. The process is frightening for many toy dogs and backbreaking work for those with large breeds.
