Some say to breed 2 cycles, rest one. Some bitches only come into heat every 10-11 months...hence producing only 1 litter a year.
I, personally, think it's good to give bitches a break. I know that I'd hate to be preggers constantly. |
Well said. The first breeder I went to, I asked how many puppies she had on hand, she told me usually 50, "because she like to breed back to back and get as many litters as she could out of them" I left.
All I kept think was, OMG, I had my kids a few years apart and thought it was too close together! I couldn't imagine what those poor bitches must be going though. How horrible.
