Thank You . Needless to say I am more than a little upset at the responses posted. Anyway, to each his own right .

Perhaps I should also make this clear - The hopefully resulting puppies will NOT be for sale. This is not a breed-for-profit thing. My friend intends to keep at least one, and if the birth results in more than one, the other may go to my daughter, and if by chance there are more....well lets just say, we are a large family of dog lovers and have many relatives who would love one.
