Guest little lurcher Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 sadly a good friend of mine was very upset this morning as her whippet bitch has totally refused to have anything more to do with her 10 pups , at just over 4 weeks , ive said ill take them in here and raise them the rest of the way without the bitch anywhere near , these pups are for sale in the for sale sect and will be pics added later after they arrive , i have the grandparents to these pups and the relatives have been exceptionally good mothers so im a little sad to see this happen , i have no worries they are and will be fine but rearing these almost by hand for last week has taken its toll on the owner will keep you updated , i think at min im only having the dog pups here Quote Link to post
