If we choose to breed her and it is successful, she will be pregnant for 2 months. She will then come to our home at the last week of her pregnancy to prepare for birthing her puppies. She will nurse them up until 5 weeks at which time she will return to your home. During the 5 weeks of nursing we will arrange visits so you can stay in touch with your girl.
