However, the finding of perfect homes I could live without. That part has been the part I do not like at all.
Now, I find that I have the same passion for showing. To find that show potential, to nurture his/her spirit and desires, to groom that silky coat and walk with your head high in that ring is also amazing. Even to do the gopher things like cleaning up the pee in the ring, and bathing in a tub in a hotel room with the ice bucket, to picking up potties in that hotel room, all of it.
It is now squeezing out the time to do both and do them correctly. |
I truly wish you good luck
I've never really had the desire for the whelping box and I do love puppies very much! I just don't like the stressing over my bitch that is in whelp and that has to deliver babies and the risk that's put on her. She's the one I've nurtured from the time she came into my life until the time she goes out, it would kill me if something were to happen to one of my bitches because I chose to bred her. I know the risks when I do it so I guess that's why I don't have many litters and my search for a female is taking as long as it is as I'm in no hurry. LOL
