I had a bitch that wanted to kill her pups the minute they were born. Good thing I was there. I bought a muzzle the next day and held her down 6 (or more) times a day and put the pups on her. I also bottle fed. She would not clean them. Eventually she would come into the room and lay down on the blanket, let me put the pups on to nurse but I never left her alone with them. I had her spayed after that. Denise Puglisi Jefferson Hills, Pa 15332 --- Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: _____________________________________________________________ Netscape.
