So I'm a huge supporter of hm4hb, nursed my own two, and have a family trait of lactating for years after ceasing nursing. Anyways my dog just had a litter of 14(maybe more, might not be done yet). Out of curiousity last time she had a litter I was still nursing and found our nipple size the same and was able to easily latch on the puppies and immediately felt the letdown. I know it is not ideal, but with the size of litter we have we will be looking at supplimenting with a formula cocktail otherwise, and I thought the same as a baby, why not skip all the hassle and just nurse strait from the tap.
I'm really just looking at other people's perspectives an opinions on this. It is something I am comfortable with and would enjoy doing to ensure we lose as few new pups as I can prevent, and my bitch is great about my helping with such a large brood.
