I'm sure that most if not all of the breeders who visit this site regularly feel just like you do.

BTW, welcome to the community! My dog's name happens to be Mulligan!
Your completely normal, it is the hardest part of breeding you cant keep them all. I cried each time one of the babies left the nest. Part of the down side of breeding but hoping the choices you made in homes for the ones you dont keep end up well loved and on the upside the contact from those that have your babies and keep you up to date makes up for the sadness and upset when the babies go.

I had a two longer then normal as they went overseas when those last two went I was an absolute mess, even when the others went earlier in ones and twos from 9 weeks onwards, blubbered big time as each went to their new homes, but ever so gratefull they went to great homes.

Never easy breeding but you cant keep them all and choices you make hopefully are the right ones for the offspring to have a full on loving life with their new families.

Welcome to the forum too. :D Hopefully your puppy people will keep you up to date with the babies as they bloom and grow. :wink:
I have no experience with what you are dealing with but I can imagine how difficult it would be. I just wanted to say 'welcome to the forum'. :ghug:
I've always thought I probably could never breed as I'd find it too hard to let all the little cutsies go off to their new lives. :(
thank you all for the kindness...it is much appreciated. what a great site this is. finally peoplel who share the same love for sheepies as i do. i hope to find my way around this site. i am not good with computers at all. my puppy i kept is a male my first. he was green when he was born so the minute he came out i said to my husband we have a mulligan here. the name stuck. he is curley like a lamb and gives the best kisses. it only took me 2 pieces of cheese to teach him to sit! starting off good. again thank you all, i feel better already. :D
