One deerhound is too little, so I got a puppy. Candy came as an adult dog miss, so Jany was the first puppy that I brought up. I was afraid of missing something or being to hasty. I was rewarded. Jany has grown up after some peculiar growth jumps into a beautiful dog miss (every „parent“ believes that his or her baby is the most beautiful and the best - I am exactly that sort of a „parent“). This increased my faith in own capabilities and I started to believe, that I can breed dogs. I decided to have the first A puppies in my breeding station. My sekond beautiful „child“ candy was the mother. Candy is a wonderful, nice and calm dog (contrary to the unrestful Jane). I selected dog Bastik, with wonderful nature, similar type to Jane and very nice. I thought this was one of the most difficult things. I knot that selection of the dog is the most important. Candy went through it like a lady and I think she enjoyed it. After return from Bastik she started to behave like a mohther, she was more careful and more strict as the pack leader. The next month I was expecting the result. I saw 6 dots side by side plus 2 other besides on sonographic snap. It was a nice feeling. I studied dog birth in the meantime. Everything looks o.k. in book and with dog 3 weeks before giving birth. Then I was punished for my thinking that I was the breeder. I prepared everything I could use and called my friend Eva to give me a adice. A week before the birth I was sick of thinking of everything I had fogotten. The book „Dog breeder“ was openning on the page with dog birth automatically. Than I go precious adice on what to look after, what will PROBABLY happen and what to do if….. I did not sleep much that night and my faith in my capabilities diminished. I was almost neurotic, as one can send daughter to a hospital and watt on phone for news. I sat at the birth box and though, whether Candy was not unhappy to have just me as a birth assistance. An a sight and licking from Candy calmed me, as if she wated to say do not worry, I and the nature will manage it, you will only be here with me.
