<DIV>LOL Oh Sandi, I couldn't stop laughing at your Drool
posting, reminds me of the first time I bred our miniature
Dachshund, I had never bred a dog before, so didn't have a clue of
what was " involved " I got the name of a reputable breeder in
Sandusky Oh. So I drove for an hour to get there with my Doxie. he
explained the process to me and told me that he breeds the bitch
twice. then he tells me that he helps the male mount the bitch , "
say what " now here I am in a strange town, with a strange man that I
never met before, in his house and he ask me if I want to watch
?????? " huh " my heart is pounding and not from
excitement. I told him that I would go into town and get some lunch
and I would be back later, he said that he couldn't give me a time
as she " the bitch " may not except the male right away and it may take
all afternoon. the thought of watching this strange man guide his stud
into my bitch was not what I wanted to stay around and watch, specially beings
there was no one in the house except him and me. I was young and dumber than a
box of rocks. the next breeding I took hubby with me and yes, we had 7
beautiful miniature Dachshund puppies, but it was a once in a
lifetime thing, I marvel at anyone who does this , it is tons of work and
very exhausting !!!! and having seven puppies running through your house
for 10 to 12 weeks is overwhelming ! I would never recommend it to any
novice person. and anyone who has heard the old story of how you
should allow a female dog have at " least one litter of pups before you
have them fixed " is horse manure ! that is my personal
opinion !</DIV>
