OUR deaf boy ROllo has learnt sit and lay down and NO by signing.

I even had one vet ask me if i had any pups left as he would love one of my pups WHICH has reinforced the I WILL DO IT AGAIN. Jus have to keep an eye out for a new bitch WITH all paperwork and everythign in toe.

i have 4 years of education ahead of me thn i want to give myself a ear to settle into a new job so 5 years before i have another litter 2 years to find myself a new girl! i may even go so far as getting myself a breeding pair we will see.

Hi Candysmum

Pleased to read that all is well with the pups And that you plan to put some research into getting a bitch suitable for breeding.

But can I just make a comment about the bit of your post that I've put in red. I would strongly try to persuade you not to get a "breeding pair". This is not the best way to go about dog breeding. Your own dog is extremely unlikely to be the best possible match for your own bitch. And there is no point in doing repeat matings just for the sake of it. It doesn't make a useful contribution to the gene pool. I'm sorry to say that it is usually puppy farmers who consistently use their own dogs for matings.
