Unexpected pregnancy West Highland White
An unexpected
pregnancy, can be a nightmare. Your Westie may not be prepared for it, the male
dog could be that Jack Russell next door, there are many reasons that can
be summed up as an unexpected pregnancy. There is very little you can do but to
let the pregnancy proceed.
The health and welfare of your bitch must be of
prime concern, the pups when they are born may well be a cross breed,
this is not they're fault. They have the right to be
treated equally as if they were pedigree Westie's.
Finding homes for the
pups may be a little harder, but homes will be found.
Try to make the best of this
situation, and make sure that there is no possibility of this happening by accident again. Despite the large number of dogs in the world, there is always
someone looking for a pup, make the most out of it, make a non pedigree
papers, showing the mother with her ancestors and the father as "Dog down
the road", a bit of fun and thought will create interest in the
pups.
