Since she is having a litter of mongrel pups every one will probably live,the only concern I would voice is if the sire was a very large breed it could complicate the delivery.Also the odds are she will have the litter at 3
o am in the morning or while your at work.I would take a deep breath and pray for a small litter.
If their is anyone with breeding experience around, you have them drop by and check her out.Watch her for nesting behaviour,is she tearing up her bed or digging in the earth making a spot to give birth.Restless behaviour can be expected,not wanting to move or lying in one spot for extended periods of time is a red flag.When Appleton Acre Joy(I allways called her Sally)had to have a C-section my dad made it a point to take me and observe the hound.She began not responding to our voice and acting too tired our weak to want to move.Right to the vet she went.
Hope you have a small litter and all goes well,several years ago a pregnant stray would be put down immediately.Your a kind soul to take on the task of a hound with a mongrel litter.
