Whelping for pit bull is also a difficult task for the mother. You should know the symptoms of whelping as well as when to call a vet before starting breeding your pit bull.


Signs of Pit Bull Whelping

Most of the expectant mother goes off her food between one or two days before birth. She will seek the whelping box and also restless. Before starting labor pain her water bag ruptured, leaving a puddle of fluid, which can be mistaken for urine.

At early stage of labor, the contractions are simple but they soon become firm and productive. The first puppy should be delivered within two hours, then subsequent pit bull puppies at intervals between ten and eight minutes.
Things to be seen while giving birth

Hearing a puppy cry, the mother retrieves it from where it has wandered and carries it back to the litter. Mothers will only respond to crying. If a youngster wanders off and does not cry, the mother may abandon it.

Most of the dog breeds do not start feeding their litter until after the last delivery. Make sure that there is one placenta delivered for each pit bull puppy.

As the bitch feeds her litter, she licks one of her puppies. She will lick each pit bull puppies' ano-genital area to initiate defecation and urination. The mother will consume all the body waste of the puppies for the next three weeks.

Get medical advice if contractions have not begun within two hours of the water breaking, or if a puppy has not emerged after 15 minutes. Non-productive labor may mean a breech birth or large pit bull puppies. Cesarean delivery is common for breeds with small litters of puppies.

The mother should settle down after giving birth to puppies. It allows the litter to suckle together for the first time. Contact the vet if the mother cannot produce sufficient milk.

How to Select Pit Bull Puppies?

Once you have your pit bull puppy home, you will start to develop its personality the way you want. If you know which sex you want, ask the breeder to put the other sex away to give you time to observe all the males or all the females.

Don’t pick a particular pit bull puppy just because it is the cutest! There are easy tests you can do yourself to help you determine the best choice for you.

Watch them to see which pit bull puppy is watching you, making direct eye contact with you. Take a couple steps backwards away from the puppies and look closely at who moves with you.

Next, take a few more steps from the group and clap your hands, snap your fingers or verbally call to encourage the puppies to follow.

Open your arms in a wide fashion and call to the puppies in a higher pitched voice. Again, observe the followers. These pups would be the ones interested in human beings, thus making good companion dogs.

Narrow your choices down to 2 or 3 from those couple of little tests. Next, take each puppy in your hands. Balance it’s weight by supporting it under the rear and on the chest.

Observe the pup’s reactions at this point. Is the pup struggling to break free, growling or showing it’s teeth. These are negative signs in inexperienced hands and definitely need to be corrected very early in the pup’s life.
