Thanks again,
I am open for input and cherish getting suggestions from other breeders, esp. the long term breeders like yourself..
All my dogs are in the house with me.. The pups never touch the ground, however I have doggie doors and a fenced in backyard that most of the adults use to go potty as well as play. A few go out the front door into my large front yard which I know is occupied by neighbor hood dogs at night as well as rabbits, squirrals and deer. probably racoons and opossoms too since I live in the country.
I clean scrupiously, alternate between, bleach one day, amonia the next and I have a broad spectrum disinfectant I use in between.
I have to commend you for having such healthy pups and never having any problems..
My vet knows me and my yorkies well and he knows I only want the best for my babies. I've had a run of very unfortunate circumstances the past few months with one bitch had a ruptured uterus and another that got eclampsia and then her pups have been sick.
BTW they seem to be doing really well today. I'm cooking chicken and brown rice for them until their tummies feel better.
I ask for suggestions and advice because I want to become a long term breeder.
Thanks again |
