Chapter 8 - Whelping
One of the most fascinating and exciting aspects of Vizsla
owning and breeding must be watching a bitch whelping. They are
such natural mothers, they need little assistance while giving
birth. They don't fuss or panic, they seem by instinct to
understand what is required of them.
The construction of the Vizsla bitch is such that there is
nothing to inhibit a normal birth. There is no reason why any
bitch should not give birth quite naturally without
complications and with minimum help from the owner. A visit from
the veterinary surgeon afterwards to check that all is well is
all that is needed.....
Puppies no longer dependent on their dam
