Cardigan mom

When I learned there was only one puppy, I knew to go to Puppy Culture to get "The Joy of Singletons". Thank you for sharing your knowledge and insight with us and helping us enjoy our singleton! He was delivered via schedule C-section because the mother was a maiden girl . Luckily, I made that decision because the puppy was born with an abdominal hernia. All of his intestines were outside his body, my vet was able to push them all back in. He is now 11 days old and gaining weight, moving around the whelping box and is very beautiful!! Thank you for teaching us how to be better caregivers to our puppies.

Some useful information

I enjoyed this, and found some useful pieces of information. However, I would like to see a lower price point OR more detailed and in-depth information. For example, how to handle c-sections and other medical problems, since I think singleton litters are more likely to have issues. This course does cover these things, just not in great depth.
Would recommend, but I think it may benefit from a lower price point.
