And THAT causes me sooo much anxiety....each time I breed, I almost regret doing it, because I would die if I ever lost one of my darling ladies, trying to survive a situation I deliberately put her in. When I first started doing this, my mentor told me to ask myself, EVERYTIME I bred a female, for as long as I continued to breed dogs, "....is THIS the litter that is worth her life?". .
