5┃ The Challenges & Solutions of Solo Puppy Litters
About this episode
Worried about why your bitch only carried one pup or whether reabsorption is affecting your litter size? Unsure when a C-section is justified or how to improve your breeding outcomes next time?
In this episode, we delve into the intricate world of canine fertility, with a particular focus on singleton puppies and the proactive steps that can enhance their chances of survival.
We explore Sara's findings on solo pups, the overlooked role of stud dog fertility in smaller litters, and how diet, age, and timing influence reproductive success. You'll learn what evidence matters when considering a C-section and why some supplements are worth the hype. For breeders who want tailored guidance that reflects their breed, background and breeding mindset, the Brew Crew offers practical, ongoing support from people who truly understand the stakes.
