My 1st time breeding my boxers

18 13:44:32

Question
This is probably a stupid question, but how many time should I allow them to Tie?  They have 2 times now, everyones first time here.....Is this enough?

Answer
Not a stupid question! You'll never know unless you ask. Everyone has to start somewhere. :-)

Usually, 2 ties is plenty. That's all that most breeders try for. More than that, and it's kind of overkill, and you'll have way too many due dates to worry about. You could even end up with a puppy that's way too small because his 'egg' was fertilized too late. Two's plenty. If I can be of anymore help, let me know!
