Oh..and by the way..They have had 2 previous bitches (years ago now) that escaped while in season and got pregnant!
One was a mongrel bitch that got caught by a much larger dog so they had to get her to a vet because 'the puppies would have been too large for her' (MIL words!) The second time was a poodle bitch they had, she escaped and got caught too...'luckily'.. (MIL words again!) by another poodle..so they let her have those puppies..which they sold..
