Breeding can be so heartbreaking, litters are often small ranging from 1 - 6 puppies. It can be very stressful as they often require caesarean births, which will of course be in the middle of the night. Once they have passed the critical period which can be as late as four weeks, they are very robust and tenacious little monkeys. They are wonderful time wasters as you watch as their eyes and ears open, as they take their first steps or frighten themselves with their first bark. Breeding is certainly not for the fainthearted and every time we lose a puppy we ask ourselves why we put ourselves through this.
