@ day 63, Ira had 8puppies but 2 were stillborn. That means 6 are alive. We give God all the glory. The pups and mama are all doing fine. See below picture of dead puppies. One was not fully developed. 1 Like

kingdaro: I really don't know what will work for your dog. When we got Ira, we didn't know much about dogs and feeding them except for the mongrels we had while growing up. She was fed Diamond kibbles and canned food at the kennel where we got her from. Since diamond was too expensive, we settled for Arion and canned wet food occasionally till she was 6months when she stopped eating the Arion on her own. After that I started feeding her corn, groundnut, crayfish and soybean. I didn't even know about the toxicity of soy beans and I would just buy and grind without roasting or removing the back. I would prepare it like tuwo with okra soup enough to feed about 3 people. I am sure she would have been obese if she was not very active and if not for the daily walks. I even thought she was not growing fine since I had never seen any other caucasian to compare her with. When we went for mating,at the same kennel we got her from, the owner was beyond surprised and advised I stop feeding her soybeans roasted or not. If you noticed, Zeus my male dog is not as weighty as Ira. And we stopped feeding him kibbles at 6 months too but he was a picky eater. 1 Like |

mimmzfz11: thanks for the best wishes. When they were 5, there were 4 males and 1 female. I don't know the sex of the 6th yet. |

jayned:pls will like to know, the corn you do feed is it cooked or normal and the groundnut too is it cooked or fried, with the okra soup, and do you still feed her those because I am marveled at the size of your cauc. |

jayned: Hard luck about the still born. Luckily, Ira is well and her others babies as well. Congratulations to Ira and you for the care and love shown to your dogs. |
Re: I Love My Dogs! by jayned: 7:17pm On Oct 28, 2017 |
14teenK: No I don't make the okra soup anymore. I just fry my groundnut and grind with the corn(maize) not fried and add fish or crayfish. Then I heat water to boiling point add my concoction and stir. Funny I used to add Maggi and salt while cooking for them.Ira is ok with it but Zeus appetite fluctuates. Now that she has whelped, I will add the roasted soybeans. I actually saw the recipe on this nairaland. see link below. If I have time I will try the okra soup thingy to see if Zeus will like it. https://www.nairaland.com/3260193/advice-local-recipe-dog-food |

Whining by now, day 3 is almost non existent except for when Ira gets up abruptly. I guess they are now ok and the temperature is just fine. I heat the room with charcoal especially at night. 2 Likes

onatisi: American Liberty Kennels Recently at an AKC Dog Breeding Symposium held at Michigan State University with key note speaker Dr. Claudia Orlandi Ph.D. (AKC's breeder of the year and author of The ABC's of Dog Breeding) shocked many breeders when it was disclosed that there have been scientific studies to show that it is detrimental for bitches to skip heat cycles. It was shared that once you have begun to mate a bitch that you should NOT skip any heat cycles until she is completely finished breeding. A bitch is said to be "finished" breeding when her litter size is drastically decreased. The study involved following females that were bred every heat cycle and females that were bred every other heat cycle. After they were "finished" breeding, the bitches were spayed and their uterus dissected. Those showing most stress, and damage of the uterus were the females that were bred "every other" heat cycle. Part of the rational that skipping heat cycles is harmful stems from the fact that with consecutive heat cyclesthere is no "flushing action" of the uterus, that normally occurs by having a litter of puppies.The female will go through Estrus no matter if she is bred or not and by breeding a healthy bitch back to back,can lesson the chances of the female experiencing pyometra, infections and false pregnancys. The choice to breed or not, should be contingent upon the goals the breeder has and for sure the mental and physical health of the female, above all else. The important information to take away from this study, is that a breeder with healthy females, does have "choices'' 1 Like |
