Maybe an instrument got left in the animal's belly after the surgery. Pain could be an answer, since the animal doesn't want anyone to pick it up. Have a different vet due an examine.

]]> Comment on Is Having Two Puppies From The Same Litter Bad? by Ruby http://www.cockapoosavvy.com/is-having-two-puppies-from-the-same-litter-bad/comment-page-1/#comment-1240 Ruby Thu, 24 Dec 2009 20:36:17 +0000 http://www.cockapoosavvy.com/is-having-two-puppies-from-the-same-litter-bad/#comment-1240 Firstly, I want to address the original question. If the owner appears capable of caring for both then it is likely they will be fine together. Although, two females together can be a recipe for disaster (although there are obviously two females, like mine, which love each other) and male/female can lead to inbred puppies. Secondly, to all those people who have a problem with mix breed dogs. Mix breed dogs are healthier and live longer. It is a proven fact, I am a vet, deal with it. They have less genetic temperament flaws and so are very often nicer dogs. Now if you were suggesting that someone who has not had their dogs tested is an inadequate breeder or that irresponsible breeding can cause many "designer" dogs to end up in shelters. Then you are obviously correct. But, this breeder was not asking your advice on their ability to breed and you no cause for your complaints. You could have easily mentioned testing without making it an accusation. Its probably good that you won't breed your iggy; firstly because they have high levels of genetics flaws and are pointlessly fragile. Secondly, because you would probably be choosing the *best* conforming dog to the breed standard. Which will also be one of the inbred holding many genetic flaws in recessive genes, which you can't test for. You know what, thirdly, just because it took you a long time to train your dog (if you are refering to your iggy a notoriously hard dog to train) doesn't mean that someone else will. My dog was fully trained by 4 months. Wasn't hard, wasn't long. She was mix breed from a shelter. Do you have a problem with mix race people too? Firstly, I want to address the original question.

They will stay together and not bond as well with the owner. They usually do learn their name though. I would let the buyer get them. It will not hurt the puppies, and you get the money. Good Luck! =) Yes,

But you have to think, will these people have the time and patience to raise and train two puppies properly? I bought one puppy and it was a long, hard road to training. I know I wouldn't have been able to handle 2 even though I wanted to get his litter mate also. With that being said, I don't condone the breeding of 'designer' dogs. They are unable to be registered and shown so there is no breed standard to go by. I hope you reconsider. They are animals and are suppose to be there for you to care about them, not to make money off of them. Umm, are the registered with the AKC? Nope, because they aren't a purebred breed, they are MUTTS. Fancily named mutts. They are probably registered with the CKC (not the canadian kennel club) which will accept any dog as would any other registry. If you sent in a picture of a poodle and had 3 people swear it was a daschund then it would be registered as a daschund. Sorry hun but I do know what I'm talking about. You breed mutts and probably charge people a bunch of money for them. You should never breed your dog just because they aren't popular in your region and people you know wanted them. I would NEVER breed my iggy. They aren't common where I live and I know people who want them but I believe that breeding should be left to people who study their purebred breed and take their time in health testing their animals to insure they are fit to be bred. Did you do any health testing with you dogs? Did you CERF, BAER, and OFA tested? If you replied no to any of those, you have no right in breeding your dogs. This is all my personal opinion but I think others would agree with me. It is possible to sell 2 puppies to someone from the same litter.
