I have a maiden bitch here that I am trying to breed, and she has a ring. Now, several days ago, I could only get the tip of my finger in - today, I get get my entire finger in, but I can still feel the ring, like an elastic band on my finger. The dog is CRAZY for her, but I'm a little hesitant. Should I wait another day for that ring to soften even more ?? I've really not had much experience with maiden bitches that have rings - somehow, I've been lucky in the past & have not had that problem.
