Sorry to hear about the pups. Cherish what you got.

Snowy is 10 this month, maybe she is getting to the point were she won`t be able to carry pups, hope not I like this old blood. Any thoughts?

Have you bred her before? I look at it that if she comes in heat, she ought to be able to have pups, I think thats mother natures way. But I would do like you said and cut back on her running.

Don't fret the weaklings, nature has it in it to thrive,... the will to live. You know how that calf hits the ground on a cold frozen night and the mother licks and nudges it on, as the steam rises off it's warm, wet little body ...Those wobbly legs struggle to get under and push it up to a stance...the desire to get upright and nurse off it's mother. Some pups don't have the wallop to thrive and they pass making way for those who do, to gain strength and promote the strongest of the family.
Five is a good litter, congrat's on the new entry...
