Topic Dog Boards / Breeding / How many nipples?
- By TwoDobies [gb] Date 24.02.04 12:44 UTC
I visited the mother of Ebony last week because i am good friends with her owners and she looks really well but one thing i did see was that she has 10 nipples and Ebony only has 8 .Why ? Are all bitches different or does it depend on there size?

They all seem to vary a bit :)

It seems random, glad we are not the same.

My bitch has nine and they aren't even on both sides, more alternate in a zig zag pattern!

Well I never really paid much attention but have just turned Sal over to check and she has 9.

Hi there, my lab has 10, is it true that when a bitch is in pup the nipples on the chest can protrude more and change colour?
                                                                Julia (mating her as soon as she has this season) shes 3 is it the right age?the book of the bitch is like a bible to me

Daisy had ten.  Until she became pregnant.  Then she grew an extra set!!  Maybe we should have been clued in when that happened that she was going to have a monster of a litter!  Anyways, the vet said it was indeed very odd, he hadn't seen it before.  But he assured me the nipples would be non-functional.  I told him I didn't think she'd grow them if she didn't intend on using them!  Sure enough, both of the "extra" nipples were actually functional.  They were a bit smaller, but produced milk very nicely.  Once she weaned the pups....one of the nipples went away, but one stayed!  So now she has 11.  I'm interested to see what will happen with the next litter!  :)

I never count them anymore - not since they threw me off the bus:-)
- By nutkin [gb] Date 25.02.04 19:44 UTC
My one girl has 12. Two like little dud nipples at the back, but they do work as she has a litter now and milk does come out of them.
- By jackyjat [gb] Date 25.02.04 20:48 UTC
Lol @ bullphi :eek:

Hi My shih tzu has 6 but they are all inverted, when she had puppies she only had 4 'useable' ones but this was ok as she had 4 puppies :)

My german shepherd has 14 nipples which i found strange as my uncles female only has 8 but he said all bitches are different
- By Maiko [au] Date 01.03.04 03:15 UTC

- By thumper73 [gb] Date 01.03.04 08:15 UTC
