All of my GSD litters have been 10 plus!! I recommend having a stack of magazines, a soft pillow, and if possible, HBO - you're going to be at it awhile! :) I would also keep on hand tubing/nursing supplies in case you need them, and some corn syrup and foods your girl can't resist to keep her strength up. And, of course, you'll need more of everything, towels, heating pad space, etc. The BEST things to have on hand -- your best friend and a bottle of wine. :) Cyndy -----Original Message----- From: showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Gail BAUMAN Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2007 5:44 PM To: ShowGSDs Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Question about larger litter.....
