Have any of you all owned a dog that had a c section that went on to have natural birth the next time around....?

Give me your thoughts...

Thanks,
Jack

xdawg,

I have not had a beagle that had a c-section but my wife raises boxers and she had one that had a c-section her first litter and then went on to have several litters with no problems at all.

My mother had a C-section on her first born...and went on to have 6 more children---including me. I'm 55. Some of my siblings however skirt a little... and we are all competitive!,,,and I used to get in the brush but mostly follow the paths,.now....and listen...lol.

PS...I'm looking for a well bred hard driving bred female pup to entertain my ears.

XDawg,
I think it all depends on the reason the dog had a C-Section, if the dog had a C-Section because the pups were to big then should be able to have normal delivery if pups aren't to big the second time around, however if the dog had a C-Section because of Uterine Enertia then she may not be able to push the pups out due to the uterine wall being to thin and not have enough strength to push them out.

We had one female that had the Uterine Enertia, but the vet wasn't sure the first time so we bred her again and same thing C-Section twice so we had her spade, didn't want to put her through another C-Section.

I have seen others that has had a C-Section go on to have normal delivery. Just all depends on the reason for the C-Section.
