I am so sorry. The same thing happened to me less than three weeks ago as many will remember. It's utterly devastating.

Were they premature or full term?

Sorry to hear news,was talking to a cocker breeder about line breeding the other day,they said if it was far enough back it can be acceptable half brothers/sisters sounds a bit close to me,not that i know the ins and outs,but just doesnt sound right.

Well I had my doubts but the info I got was, if there are faults in the previous generations they will be multiplied in any resulting offspring. However if there are no faults and there are good points in the previous gens that you wish to emphasise on, that it can be a good thing. I wont be trying it again anyway.

My next two litters due are from the same sire as this time, but the girls are completely unrelated to him. One of the reasons I wanted to go down this line was because the grandsire and granddam have Scandanavian import pedigrees, I have seen pics of the previous gen cats and they are exquisite and would be nice to have new lines brought into this country.

Well there you go, nobody said it was going to be easy

Yeah, I know it can be done as you have proved, but it may not be that. Might just be the queen that's got a problem. They are both pkd tested too. I'm not gonna risk it again anyway, will put her to Bobby next time
Its just that with Splodge I would have got the vans that I want to start moving into (sulk, sulk)

So sorry about the sad news but on one of your previous posts it didnt sound right about the bit she lost last week. But hey you tried something and it didnt work, we all learn by experimenting. Good luck with the others.
