Are you serious? C sections are not like a zip-lock entry - it is hard on both mother and babies. It is for serious medical problems and not just because it is convenient. It is different if you are breeding something like Bulldogs - they are a medical emergency because we humans have designed a dog that can't be readily delivered naturally. German Shepherds can and do whelp naturally day in and day out.
