Where do you get your c-sections done 'Risk'? My pups come out breathing/crying and are in great shape. Had to have two done on my girl and she came out it fine and was a wonderful mom.
I have a great bitch that produced well, each time with a section . Ask the vet who did the surgery how her uterus looked. If it was in good shape and you would like to breed her again - I would. I hold the line at 3 litters - sections or not. I would run some bloodwork before she is bred to see if she is good for surgery.
I appreciate your input. I know that there will be many opinions on this topic. I may end up spaying her, or I may decide to breed her again. I'm just trying to get ass much info as possible. We use one of the top repro vets in the country, so I feel confident the right choice will be made. If we do end up spaying her, she will live out her life with us either way. Thanks again for your input.

I'm not looking for someone to disagree with me or agree with me. I'm just looking for all the info that I can get so I make the right decision. I dont need a judge and jury.

Make sure your vet is using Propofol for C-sections.
Don't you think a bitch that has difficulty free whelping could pass on the same problem to her bitch puppies? Something to think about, I'm not telling you what to do. You asked for thoughts.
I do think that is possible. I have been told that if your bitch has trouble whelping, then her offspring may have some of the same problems. After taking it all into consideration. I agree with both sides of the issue. In this case however, I feel that its best that I retire her. She's been a great dog, and she has earned her retirement.
Thanks again for all of the information.
