Also as we kept ours in the conservatory, just off the lounge, my one concern for summer pups would be that they would get far too hot! Didn't have a problem in September as it was cold out and the conservatory was easily heated to the right temp for them. Think I would definately go for winter pups if I tried again.

In your average domestic setting winter litters are less stressful, more work if you get a lot of rain from when they are 4 weeks plus, but still prefer winter months.

Also the main shows are in Summer.
