Pat @shotgunner That is a fair question. It can be complicated according to 'master breeder wife'. She says that on average her females are better females than her males being better males. Better from the standpoint of confirmation. Some past breedings are repeated based on above average males or females or both. Other litters can have a market glut effect, too many of either sex is not so good. all pups tested for: hip and elbow dysplasia thyroid eyes degenerative myelopathy deafness heart a genetic test that I can not spell

Such big puppies! I know she feels better!!! She panted for 2 days. Cooing puppies and proud satisfied Mom at this point. She wants to take the head off our youngest dog, she is 5 and a bit to nosey to for her likening. The 9 and 12 year olds know to stay clear. Mom is 3 years old but bumped up the seniority scale to A bitch for the duration. She was well at the bottom of the pecking order. Respect in animals fascinating. |

Gina is the dog's Mom. She babysat all day while me and wife delivered plants. She was glad to see Willow. She is a diver at the Atlanta Aquarium and in charge of the Sea Otters. Dog is African dog, Gina is Russian. Interesting mix. She studied in the whelping box, working on a PHD in Psychology. Fun gal.   |
