I have had 3 litters at once. But I have excellent pens in my basement. And could isolate the mothers from seeing each other. one bitch had missed so many times I did not think she would take (had 6) one bitch always had small litters (had 8) and Fertile Myrtle had a dozen on Christmas Eve. That is right 26 babies at once. I prayed no one would get sick and begged everyone for newspapers. That was 8 years ago December 24. I have never risked that happening again by breeding more then one at a time - it wasn't fun but lot of hard work Sally The House of Nasdaq ROM Ch's Seiko, Adam & Ex http://danann.netfirms.com http://www.freewebs.com/embroiderybysally ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2004.
