Be sure you contact her NOW, so you are not springing anything on her and she is totally blindsided....as well as not breeding that pair again until you get your pup diagnosed....

You know, thank you for letting me know your thoughts on this! I've been debating whether I should reach out to her just yet, since I don't have much to let her in on yet. But you confirmed it. Today's her birthday tho, should I wait another day or so? She's been so wonderful to work with, so I'd like to let her have her day. And it's so true that sometime's these things just happen. But It's heartbreaking to think there's something that could be affecting our little boy and we don't know yet. He's his usual vivacious self though so we're just praying and paying lots of attention to any signs.


Thank you again!
