I've just finished using Charmer, he's 6, will I use him again, probably. He'll soon have 4 Champions that he has produced and I'd like him to have at least 2 more to obtain his ROM. Besides, he's just started producing girls. Out of the 15 pups he's sired, prior to the last litter he'd only produced 3 girls. But, then he is my pet first....so, he'll never be placed in a pet home, because he is in one, mine.

Now my girls are retired at 5 and spayed.
