When you only plan on one litter every year, maybe two, each breeding is of monumental importance to the future of your breeding program. Usually if you breed this infrequently, you have only a few brood bitches on which you've chosen to build your line and move forward. You have taken care to keep or purchase only the best in your opinion and every breeding happens for a reason. You may on occasion breed a bitch back-to-back (and recent studies I've done with reproduction specialists say it's not a taboo practice). I still hate to do it, but will do so when cleared by my vet AND the situation warrants.
But here are two things you can take to the bank - if the bitch isn't REALLY ready she won't take and everything happens for a reason.
Suffice it to say that Sally believes Holly is not pregnant. :( We were very hopeful and all of the early signs were there. But unfortunately, it was not meant to be.
If the bitch isn't ready - she won't take.
So what is the next move? Hmmmm . . . interested readers will just have to wait and see. But I can tell you this - I have a few possibilities that are VERY exciting.
Everything happens for a reason!
Stay tuned! :)
