Title: Separating a pregnant gyp
Post by: wine6978 on November 26, 2012, 06:26:50 pm
Who all separates their gyp when she is having puppies? Why do you do this or why do you not do it??? I mean from a few days before she has em to the pups being weened??

separate her before she has her pups...if not she will get nervous around the other dogs and she will swallow her new born pups...she needs to be away from other dogs when she has her pups...at some point in time she will allow the other dogs around her pups...

I separate them so she doesn't feel that there threatened...my gyp doesn't her any of my other dogs come close to her pups.

I separate my gyps from other dogs. I have one that will mess a dog up for coming around her pups.

I believe it depends on the gyp and if they have had pups before or not the last litter of pups I had I had the jip and the male dog in the same pen but I knew the dogs if I thought there would have been a problem I would have separated them but if you have the slightest doubt I would separate
