shes over a yr and i was planning on getting her fixed after christmas when i had more money, i was thinkin about aborting the pups but he said she would be safer at this time to just have them so im doing that, He breeds labs for show so he knows alot of about retrievers and hes also a very good vet. I wasnt going to breed her though so i will just get her fixed after now since thats the safest way for he right now, he did have her seperated but she jumped our 5 to 6 ft fence when she was in heat and got out which she never done before.
