I'm sorry, Emilybrown, just realised I forgot to mention feeding, but it is very important.
About now, you need to put your bitch on a good quality, complete food and keep her on it right through until she finishes nursing her pups.
This is because she needs a good fat, protein and calcium...
Thank you for your lovely welcome. This seems such a friendly place, I would love to stay around.
I did breed and show Parsons and had a large number at one time .............. just the one these days though!
For the last ten years, I've been more involved in the rescue side of things with the...
