THere are no rotts around here, and luckily most dogs in the neighborhood
are also restrained, so it's more a matter of
her just standing out there raising heck wishing one of the
boys would come.
we'll either have to bring prince charming to her, or she to him over a
good distance when the time comes we're ready to
let her have a litter.

Regards,
