breeding and loss of puppies.....?

Question

A QUESTION FOR BREEDERS>
i heard someone say that if you have a still born pup then you can donate them to resurch of the breed, is this true, and if so who do you contact? local vet or somewhere else?
i ask this because my b1tch lost two of her pups at birth (she has 3 strong girls left), its was traumatic for us both as i have never lost a pup, and the first stillborn was a bit distressing for us both as he was dry, breech, and big! 
i burried her babies, and it was awfull eventhough i never thought i would get as depressed as i have been.

if the above question is true, it is just for future reference, i do not know if i could do it but i would like the option at least, after all, every pup must help in the resurch into dieseses such as syringomyelia.
thank you xx

ps soz about my bad spelling, its late and spell check is playing up

I'm sure your vet would be able to tell you about this - I do know that the Liverpool Vet college were doing research into Bloat some time ago, and wanted tissue from dogs who had been pts (not necessarily from bloat) for research.  The collection was quite complicated however, and I'm not sure how much response they had because that's such a traumatic time for any owner, and donating would probably be the last thing they'd be thinking about.

Nice thought.  But sorry about your lost babies - very sad, but it happens, and after all, is why animals have multiples.  Good luck with your new girls!

i have never heard of it before, you need to ask your vet. If she lost two pups that is so stressful for her, why put her through another litter.
