It always depends on the individual animals. My breeder male is a cute black silkie that throws a ton of brindles! He has been real good with the babies.

The only problem I have had so far was when 2 girls have litters a couple weeks apart. They put all the babies in one pile to nurse by committee. The pinks are so small, they get crowded out - so I seperated the moms. I put the girl with the older pups in a new tub.
