That male is absolutely STUNNING!! And mommy to be doesn't look bad either! Very nice! Can't wait to see the puppies! (You'll post pics of them as well.. right? ;))
There are 11 puppies in the litter….qiute often in ridgebacks....I was there when they were coming to this world, so they are like my own....little babies :)
Well, bless them. Animals are resilient and they will go about their lives as if nothing is wrong with them. And there will always be those dear people who will lovingly care for little creatures like this. However, I agree with other posters who have indicated that the bitch NEEDS to be spayed. Whether it is a DNA problem or the bitch doing this to the newborns, spaying needs to be done to ensure this doesn't happen again.

Any links to the National Club's Breeder Directory and educational websites help to increase the chances that buyers will not go to a BYB or puppymill.
I just don't get it! He is allowed to keep 500 dogs???
What is with that??? What an awful person to make those dogs live like that.
I so hope the dogs are able to be rehomed.
Poor little things.
