My lovley maggie and oscar have tied at least four times they are both a year old i was keeping them apart but as i was at work my youngest son thought that they were missing each other and let them play!!!! i am affraid that it will damage her to have pups as this is only her second heat and she is a year old however she is very fit and very healthy lady please all advise greatly appreciated i have read and downloaded pages and pages of information but some more would do no harm.
