All of my dogs get along (except for one girl) and Jeddie will be in the living room when she whelps, as I said before. She also knows that our other dogs (EXCEPT Forest, the insurgent) love her and would not hurt her pups. (Forest will be outside in the kennel, much to her chagrin.) I don't think anyone on our list would knowingly put a dam and her pups in danger. There is no need for Jeddie's isolation here; I should also add that no one (people) will be allowed in the house until the pups are 4 weeks old. But they will have all the advantages: us moving in and out of the living room, TV noises, radio noises, etc. Strange? NO. We moved here to get away from it all. . . and we did!
