Brilliant, Tanya. A year ago I was asking advice from the forum on what book to buy as I was forward planning to mate my little bitch this spring. I was recommended "the book of the bitch" like your post it is well worth reading. Its now my bedtime reading and always at hand. Our little girl was mated on 5th & 6th April (after progesterone tests and been told by our vet to have 2 matings in 24 hours) We are waiting for the first signs of pregnancy- your comment "stop looking" made me laugh as thats exactly what we're all doing.
