<DIV>Sorry, but in my opinion, the Basset who killed the pup should
be spayed immediately and placed in a single dog home. She should never be
bred--especially since you do not know why the eye was removed.</DIV>
<DIV>Glaucoma can be hereditary--and this is one of the main reasons eyes are
removed. Also, breeding her would certainly not guarantee that she would
become maternal. If could have just the opposite effect. I
personally would never breed a bitch with this kind of history.</DIV>
