[PrestigeousYT]

Yes it is a very expensive venture.
We have a lovely Champion female that never produced the first surviving offspring.
I have a lot of money invested in her show career etc and when it came time for her to whelp, we lost the first litter. We did try again as she delivered naturally.
Second time around CSection and problem with her uterus so we had her spayed as she was our first priority. We lost the pups.
A lot of money and alot of disappointments/heartaches and a lot of work. But a lot of pride and joy on the accomplishments we have made over the years.
Good luck to you
