Well, that was an interesting "google" search LOLOL. BitchHitch has a LOT of hits, not too many that we would be interested in (blushing). Breeding Rack seems to get more hits, and breeders of mastiffs and bulldogs use them, evidently, fairly frequently. The discussion forums are quite negative on them... more because they are "unnatural" and they are also pretty negative on AI's (LOL). Haven't found one place where they are for sale..................yet. I just think that there are a lot of owners that would appreciate not having their sore "older" knees propped up under 160 pounds of dog, even for a short time.
