Shelby was a brindle girl and the first champion from the litter, and I've got 2 gorgeous brindle boys from her litter so it's worked out.

P.S. There is a concern among some Cardi breeders that c-sections are on the rise, and that the ability to free-whelp is being lost in the breed. In my case, we tried everything else before doing the c-section and it was that or lose everybody including the mother. I think the concern may be a bit alarmist, but I was relieved that both of her daughters free-whelped just fine. I have no idea of the state of the Pembrokes in that regard. |
Hmm I never knew that cesarean sections were getting common in Cardigan dams.
I do know however they are most common in larger breed dogs like English Bulldogs and what not.
I never heard of Pembrokes requiring cesarean sections but I'm quite sure it has happened.
