I agree. Paula who's been breeding for over 44 years has never used a reproductive specialist. She uses one of the same vets that I use. Out of 44+ years, she's only had 1 dog that required a c-section and she's not been used for breeding since.
Maybe it's just our town but my vets have dealt with small breed dogs for years. Any testing that I have had to have done was done by the vet and not a "reproductive specialist".
