And you need to be prepared to keep an eagle eye on mama and babies for quite some time after the birth. Not to mention being prepared to spend a lot of money on veterinary care.
I know this all to well. I have not seen my bed in two weeks now. I take a bunch of blankets, throw them on the floor next to the whelping box and that is my bed. I have to be with her and the pups at all times and I am giving up a lot of things in my life for her and the babies. There is nothing about this that is easy.
I would take all the great advice that you are getting here and DO NOT BREED , just keep her all to yourself, spoil her and love her. It is no fun where I am at.
God bless the Breeders here I feel for them.
