Hi all,
I have been on and off the site many times over the years since getting my first Newf Ella 9 years ago.We are now at the stage where we are getting ready for our first litter next season with our girl Minnie ( 2 and a half ) and I am in the middle of compiling my very own 'Bible' filled with all the info i might need and will no doubt forget just when i need it most! this is where i hope some of you can help,as most breeding books are bot breed specific!
1.What is the average room temperature i should keep my whelping box at ? (20 degree c ?)
2.Average birth weight of a healthy Newf?
3.Bitch weight gain during pregnancy-roughly a 5th of starting body weight?
4.What food do you feed your bitch during pregnancy and early whelping?
5.Heat pad / heat lamp?
I'm sure I'll have a million more questions as and when I get further through the 'bible' ! thanks guys x
