When I had Tuck's litter, all the puppies died except the one I was
keeping, and the one the breeder was keeping. It turned out the bitch had
never been able to carry more than two pups, because she had nutritional
issues in her uterus with the blood supply.

Diddy, I have a question for you.

Please don't take it the wrong way. I also may not have correctly
understood your comments above.

Do you think it's generally a good idea to pass on the genes of a
bitch who is "never able to carry more than two pups"? And couldn't
her "nutritional issues" be espressed in other potentially negative
ways, too?

PS: I'm really glad to hear the good news about Tuck. I know he's not
out of the woods yet, but it's sounding better for him.
