    I've got 2 boxers. Long story short the bitch is 2 years old and had her first litter of pups on Wednesday night going into Thursday morning. She had 10 pups; 7 brown and 3 white ones (white, not albino), of the brown ones died straight after birth so we were left with 7, 4 brown and 3 white.

    On Friday, Saturday and Sunday 1 each of the white pups died. It seemed like the bitch was pushing them away and didn't want them.

    Did anyone every have this or see this before?

    Have you had them checked by the vet? It could be fading puppy syndrome. Has the Bitch got milk? Are they feeding?

    You really need to get the vet asap to see them to see what's going on as that's not normal at all what's happening.

    I haven't brought them to the vet and afaik the bitch has milk, the other 4 pups are feeding great.

    As far as you know? You should know for Def. It's very serious what has happened so please get your dog's checked out asap.

    Yes then, I know for sure she has milk as the four that are left are visibly getting bigger and stronger then they were when they were born.

    60% of your dog's litter are dead and you haven't bothered bringing her or the remaining puppies to a vet???
    Why did you breed her in the first place? There is no shortage of Boxers in this country but it seems you felt otherwise?

    When you have dogs dying, it is a vet you should consult. Nobody on an internet forum has seen the pups or the bitch, so cannot give you pertinent advice.

    OP, this is no place to be looking for advice about why your puppies died.
    Your bitch rejected them for a reason, and you need to try to find out what that reason is, for the sake of the surviving pups, and any litters you may be planning to have from her in future.
    There is nobody here who can advise you, and rightly so.
