Hahaha that is funny, it is exactly what I would do!!!
Ha ha yes I did that on another forum but then realised the same as you!
Please dont put human emotions on a dog, it was good for Bella's sake at all, breeding Bella again was taking a huge risk with her health and for any bitch pregnancy puts her under great strain, and is not without risk (far more risky than a human preganancy). Even in the wild with wolves it is only to highest ranking female that has litters - the lower ranking ones don't, they simply help raise them.Hi everybody. Sorry - the Bella thread is closed so didn't know where to put this???
It's usually my husband who accesses this forum, but I really want to say something about these issues. Firstly we have a brand new JD puppy, Crumble - (Pippa and Uncle Fester) and she is just the most fabulous little puppy you could ever imagine, not just in looks but in personality, behaviour and house training. What a star!!! I am a total fan of Stephen and Julia and evrything they do regarding their lifestyle and breeding puppies. What a set up! Anyway, the reason for my communication today is that what some people do not realise is - accidents happen. I am a primary school teacher, but before I had my children I was a midwife. I just want to say that during my time in midwifery, upsetting outcomes did arise - miscarriages, stillbirths, preterm deliveries and premature babies not making it even though all was done by the most qualified of doctors. As much as these tragedies happen, people didn't usually give up, they went on to have further preganancies and watched/monitored more closely in order to have a more favourable outcome. Isn't this the same in the animal world??? Nobody can guarantee anything ever - but with expertise, professional involvment and dedication, risks are reduced. Julia and Stephen sadly went through this trauma with Bella - nobody could have predicted it when all other girls have had such a successful outcome. Their experience brought a tear to my eye - they did all they could and more. Thank goodness Bella went on to have another litter for her sake too as the whole thing must have been so traumatic for her too. And guess what - we saw Bella's 2day old puppies when we went to pick up Crumble. What a happy outcome! Julia and Stephen, thanks for all your support and keep doing what you are doing!
I am not being funny but why didn't you post this remark when Andy0 commented off topic on this thread.
I was very tempted to ask them why they felt the need to start the discussion up again as the other thread had been closed, but I thought 'no, lets just leave it be, the discussion is finished' so I am interested to know why when Doodlebug replies you suddenly want it dropped? As I have said before, no one is allowed to have their own opinion on here. 
although I am a bit busy so may not be on here so much xxx
this is exactly what i was thinking,if a subject has been closed it doesnt matter who brings it up again but dont wait until its someone you dont like before telling them to drop it,be fair and let people have their say even if you dont agree with it.this whole thing has really upset me,i wasnt being nasty like many of you think,im animal daft and simply did not agree with it and was only thinking of the dog,im entitled to that xI am not being funny but why didn't you post this remark when Andy0 commented off topic on this thread.
One rule for one etc.....
