Mattie is now in season, this mating is going to be so bloody important to me. I always want it to work for people who bring females to my stud dogs, I almost feel a responsibility when we don't get a mating or they don't conceive. I think Nico had more misses than Orin, but as we've said before, it's not dogs who miss, it's females who miss to a fertile dog. (Only one bitch has not been pregnant when mated to Orin) This mating though, well there is a lot at stake for all. Mattie is having her first progesterone test on Friday, here's hoping for success and beautiful, healthy babies.
