I found THE neatest whelping box online!

No, you don't need a fourth dog. You should concentrate on your Dobe pup for now.

Just for grins, tho, here is the pedigree for the planned litter....

that is a pretty impressive pedigree red!!!
i'm guessing pennies def gonna finish her CH then.

I expect to have her finished well before her next season, Stevinski.

She needs one major to finish, and I have several opportunities coming up.

In the UNlikely event she does NOT finish by her next season, I will not breed her.

Hoping to have her ready to finish her CD title as well by early fall.

couldnt you breeder knowing she would finish it, or do you have to have it on paper?

for me, I want it done before I breed her.

She is a cobby short bodied bitch. If she has a large litter (likely) she could permanently push her ribs or elbows out. She might not tuck up well after nursing. All sorts of things.

I have learned from others it's MUCH BETTER to go ahead and get her done BEFOREHAND.

So, if it does not happen before her next season, I'll just have to be patient, and I'll have more time to work on obedience titles.

And of course the more somber possibilities are her death or emergency spaying, which would both eliminate the possibilities of her CH title.
