Dougy Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 But surely he would have known if his bitch was in pup. It's not you don't notice teats dragging on the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not you don't notice teats dragging on the floor. Friends Samoyed was mated in the days before scans were routine. By mid term not even the vet could tell if she was pregnant or not. It wasn't until the last week she started to show and then she had 5 healthy pups. The spaniel was either mated or running loose on the farm with the collies etc and could have been. She found the cubs and started producing milk to feed them before the farmer found them, he would assume they were hers. She is a chocolate spaniel and fox cubs are chocolate until they start going red as they get older.

He thought she had a totally clean birth of three dry pups? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
