What I mean to say is . . .how do you know if your little girl can handle it? Besides the vet testing I mean . . .I mentioned this to a breeder I work with when she asked me if I was going to breed Rhianna because they had now lost both their females (car accident and wood pile). When I told her I was unsure and asked her how I would know if Rhianna would be able to carry pups and care for them, she looked at me like I was on some kind of drug . . .She didn't understand what I meant . . .she was very much like . . .well, if she gets pregnant, than a week before she is due you'd take her for x-rays and the vet would be able to tell you at that point if the pups were able to be born naturally or by c-section . . .I'm not sure if she is very non-chalant because she's done it a dozen times or feels its not a big issue . . .but to me, that isn't a good enough answer? I mean from all I've read here of all the tragedies and triumphs I'm sure it's not that way.
