I am full of questions and that is why I joined BW so I hope you can all put up with my inquisitive nature. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif
I have a female that we believe to be pregnant with a litter due in October. We will have her checked by the vet within this coming week for confirmation. Since this is our first time of breeding a litter I am researching a lot and am trying to follow things to the letter. I want this to be a successful litter for all with as few complications as possible.
It won't be long and we will be to the stage in her pregnancy that the sources I have been using indicate I should not allow rough play, jumping etc... I have 4 dogs that are used to playing, running, jumping, roughhousing etc... at all times. How much do I need to worry about this and should I start keeping her inside while the others are out playing? That will not go over well by the way. She howls when I separate her from her playmates.
I wonder if I am not worrying too much. I know in humans that they say if your body is used to doing an activity that it most likely that activity during pregnancy will not injure a fetus anyway, but I don't know if it is the same with dogs.
Any Beagle pregnancy advice that BW members have to offer would be greatly appreciated.
