The dogs all adore him and he can pitch in for us if we are not well. In order to fulfill our goals we built an indoor - outdoor kennel that is heated and cooled. We do not keep more that three pups to a run. We moved on virgin land that was free of pesticides, which we avoid. We also bought an air-conditioned truck for hauling.
Someone is on the premises at all times.
Rosanna lives next to the big Kennel and I live next to the nursery. I have whelped at least 300 litters over the last 40 years and still never leave a bitch untended. For the most part they are fine but, if not, I am there. Often a little care with the pup can save it or a mom. Our dogs are checked daily for any problems.
