Oh Vic, I'm SO sorry to hear about the puppies!  I don't blame you for not wanting to try breeding again.  It IS heartbreaking to put all that time and money into something, look forward to it, only to have the babies not make it.  It's bad enough when it's an inanimate thing, but when actual lives are involved, it's especially sad.

I wish you would stay around our dogs community for a while!  We have a nice group of folks here and always look forward to having new members decide to stay and participate in our discussions.  Please think about it.

LOST ALL THE PUPPIES VET DONE POST MORTAM ON 3 AND SAID LUNGS WERE UNDERDEVELOPED AND COULD BE A GENETIC FAULT? TO LOOSE ALL PUPS DON"T THINK I"LL BREED AGAIN CAN"T STAND THE HEART ACHE. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP

You absolutely need to get these puppies (and their mother) to an emergency vet ASAP!  It could be any number of things, from herpesvirus to the mother having had an infection (like brucellosis) while she was carrying the puppies.  Were the mother and father tested for brucellosis before breeding?  Unfortunately, treatment for herpesvirus and for brucellosis is not usually successful in puppies under the age of about three weeks, but you need to find out what this is so that you can take steps to eliminate it from your dogs in the event that you plan to breed them again.

Please keep us posted as to what happens.
