Our Rottweiler had puppies a few weeks ago. She's home, but the puppies are at the breeder (our good friend) before they move to their new homes. Whelping puppies can be stressful, especially the pups of champion dogs as these are, so we opted to have the birth there.
The other reason we did so was so we wouldn't have second thoughts about keeping one (our option).

Rottie pups can be disarmingly cute!
Choosing not to forgive someone the wrong they have done you is like drinking poison and waiting for them to die.www.fingerlingthenovel.comFingerling @ Leanpub
