But, if I take this puppy bitch from a litter that hasn't yet been conceived, then that means that I am really and truly serious about starting my own breeding program and that I have to be willing to take the risks associated with it. One one hand, I could have 10 puppies come out like slick, fat baby seals and all beautiful and healthy with great temperaments.
On the other hand, I could have 10 puppies and the first get stuck in the birth canal on her way out and lose the litter or lose the dam or lose everyone. My bitch could get pyometra and die.
Luckily, the breeder is a very understanding woman, and understands what it is to "think too much." I really like the breeding and it really fits in to where I want to "go" with my kennel. I know that a puppy from this litter could give me both brains and beauty.
Harper has become a living, breathing ball of fire. She races around the house like she's possessed if she doesn't get a good walk at least once a day. I used to be able to get away with training her once every three or four days, but now we have to train every day. She tells me she wants to work, but she's unfocused.
