I'm asking because so many people claim to be breeders yet do little research on possible complications.

There are at least ten people a day on here talking about breeding their cute little pugs alone. It can happen in any breed.

All but one(MJ,of course)of your answers prove-as if it was needed-that 99.9999% of the people here are ABYSMALLY ignorant!!!
Anybody who does livestock will eventually be dealing w/DEAD-stock.
And,every time you think you "seen it all",something new crops up.
NOT breed specific & NOT always section pups & NOT always fatal.

This condition is primarily in flat-face breeds, such as, Boston Terriers, English Bulls, French Bulls, and Pugs. At birth, the pups are larger than normal, because of fluid under the skin. This can be in varying degrees from barely detectable or a pup may be twice the size of a normal mate.
Water pups are born alive because their oxygen and nutrition is being delivered from the dam, through the umbilical cord. After birth, the pup’s lungs should start functioning, however, when they are full of fluid, they often suffocate soon after birth. I have seen one pup in a litter, and have heard of an entire litter being involved. The mild to medium effected pups that survive the first 2 - 3 days, seem to become normal. Or also slang term for "wet ba c k"
ok well if you know then why are you asking!!

yes it is a puppy that the whole body is filled with licquid. It is never born natural but by c-section and never born a live.
