I was waiting for noon. So if its still down then we are on our way? What if it has went up?

He said that there was really no way to actually say YES she's will deffinatly have trouble delivering. He said the pups were a "little big" but he wants nature to take its course. He seen no reason to intervene at this point. I've already called and let them know her temp dropped in case I have to page in an emergency.

First pup

I've read and have also watched two welping videos where it says and shows the first pup taking the longest to come out. My vet said no longer than 10 minutes, and he wants me to call. (no longer than 10 minutes with the pup crowning) I watched an actual birth recorded on video and that first pup took much longer than 10 minutes.

I'm just curious as to what I need to expect and when to know there is a problem. Especially if there is that chance that they are too big. Can anyone help?

With this being your first litter I would say 10 min and take off to the vet if not coming. I have had to assist a bitch in her first whelp with a pup and pull gently but after the first they come fast.

Don't expect the first one to come really quick. But once he has crowned then it shouldnt take long at all. I agree with the vet if it takes longer than 10 minutes once the puppies has crowned then there is a problem.

Yeah, that is crazy. I whelp peoples litters for them all the time. Even if they didn't use one of my studs. I do it for free. But thats just me. You can do it yourself. You know what you are doing (even though you think you don't) and your vet is only a phone call away.

Shes getting pick of the litter.

But she said she's very experienced and knows how to avoid a c-section. If a pup is turned she knows how to go in and turn the pup and make it come out. She feels that all Vets just go ahead and do a section without trying other avenues. She feels if I call my vet he will just be lazy, be only worried about getting there, getting it done and going back home to bed and collecting the money. I told my vet what she had said I think he thinks I was second guesing him (which I wasn't) and I may have ticked him off. But I was only looking for his advice on what she had said.

Does this sound right? (the going inside of the female)

I decided I was doing it myself.

Its a lot easier to maneuver puppies in big dogs. I don't suggest trying to do it in a little dog. There isn't a whole lot of room in there and you risk injuring her and the puppy.
