8 is not too old, if the bitch is fit and healthy she will be sound. If she's not coming into season correctly you may be too late. You have left it a bit late but as the saying goes better late then never. A close friend bred his bitch at 9 last year.
Anno mate. even the young lad at 19 didn't make it, so it just makes me wonder how helpless and as little of a chance the younger kids had. I'm gutted here for the whole family.
Just seen the report on the news there of the housefire last night that took 4 young lives. Very very sad, I've a wee girl the same age as the twins and a son the same age as the youngest child. So so sad. RIP little angels
Never had to use one, never will. Though I have had some barky bstards in my time, plenty of exercise good grub and bedding and a good hose does the job for me !!
It's just an observation fella and food for thought along with a lot off people's opinions on BOTH sides............ you don't have to agree with it but maybe your missing the point. It's not personal to try and make anybody look better I can't change it.
