Thank you everyone! It helps to know that everyone is pulling for us and that everyone loves us! I think I may go to Walmart before I go and pick her up on Fri. She has been de-sqeaking her toys and I think she needs a few more stuffies to make her feel better! Candy, I think the reason I am so calm about this is b/c she is so young and hasn't had any puppies yet. I knew before I even decided on what kind of dog I wanted to get I would definately have it spayed. Even tho she is a purebred, I just am not educated enough on puppy raising nor do I have the time, finances, or space. After reading the last issue of Dog Fancy and it had an article about the good that breeders do for different breeds. Only passing on the desired traits, etc. And I think I will leave that job up to the professionals, Like you! I think that you bred Dixie and thought it through and did a wonderful job. And I also think you did a wonderful thing for Dixie that will keep her with you for a good long time!
