the worse thing is the neighbour is a dead beat...he high fived his dog when he found out that he may have gotten ours pregnant...yep he is that much of a loser. *sigh*
we have a ridgeback mastiff cross called Hollie - she had 13 puppies in her first (and only) litter (planned). 1 was stillborn, and one died soon after birth after she accidently suffocated it. She delivered 5 puppies herself, (including the 2 who died) and then had an obstructed labour which meant a midnight trip to the vet and an absolute fortune in vet fees for a midnight cesar. The puppies were just absolutely gorgeous. We were warned that she probably wouldn't have enough milk to feed them all and the vet recommended puppy formula to supp feed them. That was a nightmare - so after a couple of days of trying to bottle feed 11 puppies we ended up feeding the formula to Hollie - who then had no probs with her milk supply Our Kelpie Angel loved having little puppies to round up in the yard !
Forgot to say we had absolutely no trouble selling our puppies and made enough money to cover the vets and formula expenses. Lots of people like bigger dogs! Look in trading post and local papers and advertise there.
