JaneyA Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 This is Elly, who we rescued last Tuesday. She whelped yesterday (Friday) and she is a very attentive little mum: Our information via the Wagga grapevine is that Elly is six years old and this is her sixth litter Now it will be her last!

Guest Wildthing Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Fantastic outcome for mum and bubs. Glad this will be her last litter - poor girl has had far too many pups in such a short space of time. Can't help but wonder how many of the pups are not desexed and breeding!!! Well done JaneyA and BFPR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nawnim Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I know I'm ignorant about the ways of country pounds but if you had not rescued this dog what would have happened to her? Would she have given birth in the pound? What would have happened to her then and to her pups? Or would she have been euthanised when she was so close to giving birth? The pound notes just say that she may be pregnant. She's a gorgeous looking dog. Thankyou for rescuing her and her babies I hope they all find wonderful homes.

tdierikx Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Pretty much any pound in NSW would have had to euthanaise her (and any pups she may have given birth to whilst there) if not for rescue. They can't sell a pregnant or nursing bitch to the public straight from the pound. And that's why rescue are so fastidious about desexing everything before rehoming... we see so many of these mummas and/or bubs in pounds... *sigh* T.

I am quite horrified. for rescue. How can anyone leave their dog which is about to give birth at a pound? Some people disgust me. It's hardly the dog's fault she is pregnant.

Fairy tails Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 (edited) Pregnant dogs and or bitches with pups do get sold from pounds, or given away. Not all are inclined to kill when there is no rescue. Depends on the staff involved. But this family is extremely fortunate. Edited May 25, 2013 by Fairy tails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdierikx Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I'm pretty sure the regulations in NSW are that pregnant bitches and neonates aren't supposed to be sold from the pound... T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaneyA Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 Here is the one-day-old photo. All are doing very well and gaining heaps of weight every day. Elly races outside to do her business, then races back into the bathroom to them - heaven help the cat if he gets in her way, LOL! I'll take more photos today now that they're a week old.

Not that I'm saying this isn't true but I've not heard of it before. I can understand why it would be so but I can't recall reading it in any legislation. Can you point me to where this is stated. Years ago, before rescue became as common as it is now and before pounds developed relationships with rescue services, bitches were sold pregnant, gave birth in the pound and were euthanased.

She looks like a nice little dog. Much smaller than I thought from the first pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
