Have you bred dogs before?
A little story...when I was a kid (about 12), my parents decided to breed Daisy, our AKC wired-haired fox terrier. She was hardly a little flower though; her favorite hobby was hunting groundhogs. She'd dig down in their holes after them and I'd have to pull her out by her tail, teeth gnashing all the while. I loved that dog and her spunk!
So mom and dad found a suitable stud and drove Daisy out to meet him. Well, there was no meeting, the two were unceremoniously thrown together in a kennel, and there they stayed for 3 days.
When we returned on Day 3, the owners of the stud weren't very happy. They told us that they were fairly sure the two pups had done the deed, but apparently Daisy was not a willing partner. She beat up the stud pretty badly and drew blood. They told us to never bring her back.
That was the only time Daisy had puppies, my parents decided the whole thing was too much of an ordeal for her, and us.
