Breeding Plans

Dave has informed me that Dixie is in season. Day 1 was August 24. I've decided to breed her to Joey.... well, Dave will have to officiate the mating. The scary thing is that if the breeding is successful, puppies will be ready to go to new homes right around Christmas. I'll have to make sure people aren't wanting to buy a puppy for a Christmas gift, especially for someone who may not be so committed to new puppy ownership. Raising a litter in winter is not as easy as a spring or summer litter, either. I like to give pups exposure to the great outdoors, but if it's nasty weather or too cold, can't do that. First we have to see if the two will breed....
