Lisa, You bring up some great points especially having proper accomodations for a visiting girl. I'd sure hate to have some accidents -- of course I'm not a breeder and never expect to become one even though I've been in the breed since 1986. While I can appreciate the efforts of others being willing to have their girls or boys bred I don't think I could. I'd be a total basket case I'm sure when whelping time came around and if I ever had a boy worthy enough to use as a stud I'd be concerned about the pups he would produce and how they fared throughout their lives. I'm just wondering how many folks keep in contact with their sire of pup? I have kept in touch with mine and developed some friendships due to that contact, I know they loved to hear of accomplishments of their sire's get even when Ace & Rosie passed away I kept those sire owners informed even though it was heartbreaking news.
