Congrats on the two healthy puppies! At least you have a bitch puppy for the stud owner.

I personally LOVE small litters! This singleton puppy I have now is so much fun! lol if my girls always had like 4 puppies, max. I'd be happy!...

Not a bad deal on the male puppy though. I prefer not to keep many, if any males. I have 1 right now, and he is going to a show home in Ohio in a couple weeks -- he'll be a year in June and is pointed, but not been shown since Jan.

He gets to go live with another breeder.. she cares for him, pays for him to be shown and finished and I have stud rights!! Works for me! LOL The smooth sable male from my Sept litter just left almost 2 wks ago, he went on co-ownership as well, will be shown in breed and juniors... and possibly agility in the future and I think they want to try herding with him (his sire was a great herding dog!). Same agreement as the other male.. I have stud rights to him.

Since you are going to co-own him, and he will be with you at times, in the future maybe you will have a nice bitch to breed to him and then you can hopefully get that pedigree you like, and hopefully in a bitch!
