Hi all, I have a question ............. how many litter mates from a single litter would you keep for further showing/breeding ............. keeping in mind that space is limited. We did a breeding than can never be repeated (due to a weak lining on the uterus of the female, BIM, Ch bitch) so this is her one and only litter, right now we have the top 5 picks (in our opinion), 2 males 3 females, they will be 4 months old tomorrow ............... how many would you keep? Do you feel that keeping several littermates is worth while or would you keep the top two and leave room available for future pups/litters ? Or would it matter to you? Thanks Take care, Lonna Lonna Fisher Sunflower Reg'd GSD Edmonton, AB http://lonnagsd.tripod.com/index.html ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2012.
