Rinnie69 doesn't have Bulldogs she owns St Bernards.......

Jem, the bitches can have difficulties passing the puppies because of the size of their heads, this is usually why they are booked in for elective c-sections a couple of days before their due dates.

Sometimes, And I do say sometimes, having bigger litters usually helps as sometimes the puppies are smaller and easier to pass.

There are a few people who I know that have lost Bulldog bitches & their entire litters - But that said, I've known of bitches that have self - whelped with ease, lines can play a big part in self - whelping Bulldogs
