What's to become of the mama, will she go back to the byb too? I'm concerned because it seems like it will be much more difficult to her to readjust to crate life. Dogs who've only known crates aren't unhappy, but once you've given them a taste of freedom and treated them like a pet, going back to the crate may be very traumatic. Also, I've read that you do not want to treat her too much like a pet, she may want to sleep with you, and this can be dangerous if she whelps during the night. |
