Kathy, As usual, no one says it better than you! I just did my second breeding, the first one being a year ago. I can't wait! And I can't describe how my relationship with the bitch changes when she is pregnant. She is different. I am different. And we are different together. The first thing she did, when I brought her home from the stud, was roll over on her back on the kitchen floor to proudly display her stomach. This is not a normal behavior for her. She wants a different kind of attention when she is pregnant. And she gets it! Am I making any sense???

The initial dream, the challenge of finding just the right breeding partners, the expectation and anticipation, the absolute miracle when with a sputter a puppy takes its first breath in your hands, little tiny faces lifting theirs to yours to be kissed, observing your bitch with a contented look on her face, realizing she's more beautiful to you then that at any time she'd received a whole host of awards, proudly watching the babies grow and just bursting with pride and so darned grateful that you were allowed to play a tiny part in all of it...you couldn't pay me enough to give it up.
