I'm not a lucky person and one bitch had 11 puppies, the other 8. I have kennel facilities and could easily keep them separate and still would not do it again. You cannot imagine how much work it is just keeping things clean....and then you must play and socialize with each puppy individually. It consumed my entire day for months. Do yourself a favor....just breed one of your girls. :-) Jamie ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2004.
