hi
looks like we will be having pups at the same time! we had our first litter in feb she had 5 pups was a great experience exciting but also scary! once the pups got to 1 week old it seemed to get less scary and then by the time they got to 3 weeks it was smooth sailing from there i loved having them and it was heart breaking letting them go i hope this time will be less daunting as ive been through it once already...but i know each time is unique,i think im going to do what you said you are going to do with your bitch 2 on and 1 or 2 off seems to be the same view of everyone its good to hear other peoples views and opions really does help alot thanks for your reply...good luck to you and your forthcoming litter
