i have only bred 2 litters first one from a red lakeland bitch she was about four years old put to a 6 yr dog, she only had 2 pups and sadly they didn't survive, vet said it was put down to fading puppy syndrome she was then spayed, 2nd little was from my saluki/deerhound/greyhound 5yrs put to our own dog 8 yrs as we wanted 2 from the litter for our own use they both did what we wanted from them, she had 9 a few got really good homes but a couple of them were bought by idiots unknown to us at the time, that went on to be passed on, so from then on i vowed not to breed as you put so much into y
