[lad101 57]

I'm just wondering how long can u still lamp a pregnant bitch fir dome say stop when get to 4 weeks some are saying stop when get to 6 weeks ?

[lad101 57]

For some*

Don't lamp it at all mate, its not worth the risk, have you no other dog to run?

[FLAGGER 29]

If you really have to ask that question you should not be breeding a litter pal!!!!!!!

[lad101 57]

Nope not another dog .. and Flagger don't be quick to judge as loads of people still lamp their bitches while pregnant till at least 4 weeks some say different times when to stop .. Some people like to work their dogs instead of runnin their mouth over a computer

I lined my bitch 2 and half weeks ago and the last thing on my mind is working her

I would prefer to avoid it. Most of the time you could probably get away with for a few weeks but a dogs pregnancy term is only 60 days so the risk can be quite high. Some people might say it's all good but my mrs had a miscarriage from continuing to ride horses for a couple months into her pregnancy so I'd rather not make that mistake again

I would avoid advice from those people in the future. If a litter is worth anything to you, you do your best to make sure it goes as well as possible. That's common sense.

I don't even like having them out running around with other dogs incase one would run into her I no it probably would never happen but just wouldn't take the risk. You put so much effort into finding the right dog and you are hoping for these pups to be the future of your kennels. Why would you put the pups at risk in anyway by lamping her

[lad101 57]

True mate always got next season or maybe if I'm lucky end of this one doubt it though .. il just have to lamping and watch lol

you can work them upto 6 weeks if needs must.

 

i know a few people that work there dogs until the 5 weeks pregnant you can go to 6 if you wanted. up until 6 weeks i believe the pups are only about the size of a grape then from 6 weeks to 9 weeks they double in size each week until born. (rough guide)

 

what few pups ive ever bred i feed the bitch as much has she will eat until 6 weeks. then i just feed her as normal until the pups are born. once they are born i then bang as much food into the bitch has she can take.
