    Just be very thankful your not dealing with cattle. Think baling twine, round calves legs, foot against cows bum and lots of heave, and finally no way to dodge the mess.

    Happy memories for Bill.

        What a gorgeous Photo, nellie - thank you - and for all your advice.

        I've just told my Mum she's about to become a gt grandmother. All she kept saying was......"Oh...........Ohhhhhh,..........Oooooooooooohhhh" and "wait 'til I tell your brother what you're up to now" as if I was the one having the puppies, not Bessie

            I think you have to stay with the pup when giving birth.

            I have found this video if it is any help......https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtGofcFupcE

              Just watched that video Carrie. Took me a while to realise they were taking a cuddly toy out of a plastic bag - at least I think it was

                  I think lottie dollie has some good advice. Contact the sanctuary and tell them about Bessie being 'with pup' when you got her. They might have the ability to scan her or help out practically with any vet fees and/or hand holding during the event. They would also know that they might have some new recruits to their santuary just after Christmas. I would suppose they could offer powder dog milk etc if it became necessary.

                    I will let the Sanctuary know but I'm sure they're not in a position to help financially - its not a charity, just a sanctuary run by someone who cares about animals. Lizzie's Barn Sanctuary | A family run sanctuary for dogs

                        Lizzie's Barn would be brilliant for advice then - if in doubt you could at least scream HELPPPPPPPPP to them

                              I'm afraid to admit I did laugh when I saw your post. My nan and mom and dad were all dog breeders but I think all the advice I can give you has already been given.
                              Bessie will find her own 'special' place where she feels safe to have her litter. Where ever it is put newspaper down underneath her blankets, it will protect the floor and make it easier to tidy up afterwards. She will know what to do when the time comes.
                              Oh congrats on your news. Puppies round the house at xmas going to be a very busy but fun time for you all

                                Hi VC,

                                Since moving to Spain, i have had pretty much no choice but to take in dogs and run a small shelter type thing as no-one gets their dogs neutered etc. I have raised nearly 60 pups in the last 18 months, most have had to be bottle fed, At the moment i am hand raising 2 11 day old pups which got found in a bin. So anyway i have had a few pregnant gals and know quite a bit. So you can contact me anytime.
                                The first i was very panicky running around like a mad person and the dog just looked at me turned her back and got on with it.

                                Enjoy it is a wonderful experience but remember one big point Don't get too attached and keep them all

                                The pic is of the 2 i am raising at the mo
