This is such a natural thing for the female canine. In the wild, the alpha bitch will whelp the litter, and the other females go into a false pregnancy to produce milk to help feed the litter.

Why wouldn’t you and your other daughter feed the baby? She could have benefitted from the colostrum and nutrients instead of being fed the fake stuff. I know that if I was unable to produce milk, I would be getting milk from a breast milk bank or would be grateful for the offer of a wet nurse for my baby’s health. Formula is JUNK!

This probably sounds crazy. In human terms, my daughter was unable to breast feed her baby. My other daughter and myself began producing milk, although we didn’t feed the baby. Obviously humans are more protective of their young than Irish Setters. LOL

Will this help to reduce the probability that some of the pups will be alcoholics?

If I had 15 babies, I would be grateful for the help too!

I wonder, will the pups of one mom resond better to English commands, and of the other to Irish? Will some puppies develop white and grey spots?
