He's SO CUTE!!! Soooo tiny! Congratulations!
OK..I have a really dumb question. And not b/c I will EVER breed, but after reading your answer to gutu, I am wondering out of plain curiosity (and if it's something that's private or proprietary, just tell me, I'm clueless about breeders and how it all works), if someone else owns the mom, and you own the dad, does the mom's owner keep the baby (I'm not sure exactly what "whelping" is, so I need to look it up) to raise. It sounds like you are going to "raise" it til it goes to it's forever home? I just wonder how that works....not that it's my beeswax, but I'm curious. I know that Max's 'breeders' had the mom, paid a stud service and they kept all the babies and "raised' them. I guess what I'm sort of getting at is that the babies have to be with the mom for a certain amount of time, so do you keep the mom with you too? And seriously, if this is being too nosy, just tell me
