I did no breedings for a litter last year. Besides, one litter a year is the norm for me. Have on occassion bred 2 litters. Breeders that are not doing it alone, might be able to handle more than 1 or 2 litters a year. A thought just came to mind......What constitutes being a Hobby Breeder? Does someone have a record of the breeders that nominated their litter(s) in the past few years? If so, maybe a reminder could be sent to those that might not be on this 'List'. Just a thought Erika & the Tamarin GSD << So how about all you breeders , from M.P. Where are your litters??
