Thanks very much. I try to be very honest and open about my dogs and how they live and not paint an unrealistic picture of 10 adult dogs, male and female, plus their puppies happily co-mingling under my feet throughout my house. This would be physically impossible. With 3 intact males and 7 intact females and all the related hormonal activity, there would be daily dog fights and constant unplanned pregnancies without some way to keep them apart. Intact dogs have to be kept segregated to a manageable degree. I have converted the basement of my house for this purpose. It's spacious an open and has all the amemities of my upstairs living quarters, and is set up for the dogs' safety and security. Expectant and nursing mothers stay in my bedroom and music studio upstairs. I do, however, spend most of my waking hours in the kennel with my dogs, whose company I thoroughly enjoy.
