i don't know why her tits look like this. They've been like this for a while. I have no idea why. I can't breed her like this because she probably will have trouble with the milk getting thru plus won't be good for the pups.

best pics i could take. She kept squirming around.

the ends look like a crusty type stuff are on them. they look swallon a bit and crusty dried up looking

Is she coming in season?
I got a bitch coming in, and her nipples are enlarged.
Tits are ok unless they are red and have a fever to them or you feel knots or lumps.
You can rub on some Bag Balm to soften the crusties...

It's past time to clean out boxes, of old bedding and give them and kennels a good scrubbing, then paint them with oil to keep out the fleas and ticks.

they are always enlarged like that. Sometimes look red. Mostly they have that crusty stuff on them. You can't really get a good look from that pic. I should try and get a better pic.

They don't really look to good. The ones in the back are the worst. Looks like bumps or I really don't know the terms.

Doesn't look strange to me at all. Her nipples might be a bit dry or something. I wouldn't worry about it unless they are sore or bothering her.

yeah they are sore to her. If i pick her up I have to make sure i'm not touching them or she'll yipe. I tried rubbing the crusty stuff off once. If you rub to hard she will let you know it hurts but otherwise is sort of ok with it.

I need to get better pics of them. They are not supposed to look like this. My other dogs are not like that.

When was the last time she was in season? Could she be having a false pregnancy? A lot of bitches will have swollen breasts and sore nipples from homones. Its hard to say though but, if your really worried let a vet take a look.

they've been that way since her last litter which was a while I'd say 2 years ago.

They appear to me to just be extremely dried out and as patch said keep them moistened with bag balm.

Look alright to me also. Some females just have bigger nipples than others, no pun intended. I'm not sure about the soreness thing though, she may be coming in.

They look normal to me. Looks like she has raised pups before. Maybe they got a little scratched up.

if you wean the pups at 5 1/2 weeks the tits dont hang as much when they dry up. I really dont see anything wrong with her to be concerned with.

I have one nursing pups right now and her nips look alot like that and she's not having any problems. Don't know about the soreness though.
