I don't know either Mary, but the truth is that, like you, my dogs are in my house, any puppies that I whelp are whelped in my house, dogs sleep in my bed and beside my bed and when i am gone, they are crated for safety with the exception of an old rescue girl I have that rules the roost anyway. I will never be one of the "big" breeders but certainly some of them have very state of the art facilities and have made major contributions to the breed
