I don't think anyone was going into great detail about everything on studs.
If you have a breeder you have been speaking to about breeding, they should be advising you on all these aspects. A message board will just hit some of the basics. There's to much to tell in a note.
As far as the orphaned pups, that reason was already stated. No questions were needed.
Now I need to go give my condolences on the loss.
