If I had bitch number two in your scenario..I probably would breed her only
once..I don't like problems and guess I am too lazy to deal with a bitch
that simply won't do what nature intended it to.To me this breed is
supposed to be hardy and prolific..easy breeders..and usually easy
whelpers.C.Grainger
