- Why do singletons occur?
- What evidence is needed to justify a c-section?
- How common is whole litter and puppy reabsorption?
In this episode we unravel the intricacies of canine fertility, whilst delving into the unique challenges posed by singleton puppies. Sara shares eye-opening statistics from her white paper on solo pups, and what proactive approaches significantly improve a singleton’s chance of survival.
From discussing whether body proportions can contribute to reabsorption causing small litters, to unveiling the supplements proven to boost fertility, we cover many aspects of the canine fertility puzzle! But it takes two to tango. Stud dogs can be a fertility-ticking-time-bomb, especially those seven years and older, so we look at the importance of fertility testing too.
We begin to untangle the multifaceted factors impacting a dog’s fertility, from diet and condition to age, and even discuss how different breeds have varying fertile windows. So whether you're a seasoned breeder or a newcomer to the world of canine reproduction, this episode of Breeders Brew is packed with invaluable insights and actionable advice to help you optimise fertility and navigate the unique challenges of singleton pups.
