Having worked as a Vet Tech for several years quite a while ago now, I used to assist in the C-section surgeries in that I dealt mostly with the anesthesia and made sure that the bitch was under but not too far under anesthesia.
Now, as a client, I get to assist in the reviving of the puppies as they come out. Far less stressful really as they are usually in good shape. C-sections is probably a far more medically controlled environment for puppies to be born than the natural birth. If there is a problem the bitch can be attended to medically and there is no frantic drive to the Emergency Clinic at 2 am!!! Whilst we breeders would prefer not to have C-sections, if they are done correctly, things work out very well.
