I dont breed much but in the 70s had Champion Ambers Valiant Robin..Robin was a top producer easy whelper..Excellant mother.She had had only a few litters..Being in excellant health at near 10 years of age I bred her..She whelped the best litter I had she whelped 6 females all healthy no problems..One was Champion Ambers Rita who produced Ch. Alpha angleina Maturity winner..Another was Ambers remember me wjho produced Select Champion Patjas Rackater of Amber and Ch. Ambers Sharon another Ambers Roxanne who produced Ambers Sweet and Sassy ROM another Ambers Rica who produced 2 Champions.Who told you not to breed after 5 did not breed much..As for problems what problems..What if I had listened to such talk..This should only happen on rare times like the right bitch with no health problems and an easy whelper..I would not breed usually after 7 but each bitch is different..Barbara on a great day in Miami ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
