Stillborn puppies are fully formed and look like normal puppies, but they are dead upon delivery. You can check for life by watching closely for breathing or by gently putting your fingertip on the chest just behind the elbow and feeling carefully for a heartbeat.

"Stillborn" means the puppies appeared fully formed when they were delivered, but they never drew breath and were born dead. This can be caused by a variety of things, including the mother having difficulty giving birth, a very late term infection in the uterus and congenital abnormalities of the puppy.

When a puppy dies at birth, there could be a genetic issue at hand. Its best to take it into the vet to get an autopsy performed. Its best to bury the puppy if you are not taking it to the vet.

There are many reasons why puppies are stillborn. A puppy can be too big and get stuck in the birth canal. Being born feet first can cause death. Bacterial infections and genetic defects can also be a cause of stillborn puppies.

Many things. Most of the time it is because the pregnant mother was too young/old to be having pups, or because the puppy was some how injured in the womb. =)

Dogs that die in puppy mills are usually piled into trash cans. That's it. Piles of dead dogs. It's horrible.

That's impossible for anyone on Wiki to know. She should be taken to the vet and be examined. They can do an ultrasound early or an X-ray later in the pregnancy to see how many puppies there are. Breeding an older dog is somewhat risky and she may resorb some of the puppies or deliver stillborn ones.
