I am a breeder, but not all of my chis are breeders. Since I recently had two spays, I am down to 3 breeding females and three breeding males. And you said 8 chis...it is actually 12, since I do count the ones at moms....we kinda co-own them. You can see most of my chi family at http://taylorstots.tripod.com/
