you know the only reason that I even started this thread in the first place was to try and figure out if at 8 months my boy was done growing or not... How it got from that to breeding I don't know, nor do I care anymore. I have bought myself some good books to read, and going to be doing some online research as well. When I said that I would be looking for a female to breed with my male, I ment that I was wanting to have a companion. Guess used the word incorrectly. For that I'm sorry, because I think that may have set off a chain of miscommunication and "confusion". I have properly measured him now, and am starting to do my reading. I hope that you all can understand what I am really talking about, and know that I did not really mean that I wanted to "breed". If I get a female and somewhere down the road, they have pups, that would be wonderful, I would love that. But that is a long ways away and I am going to be extra causious until the time is right. I did not mean to confuse anyone. Nor was I trying to offend anyone. I hope that you all will be there when I have questions in the future, as I know that I will have more to ask..
