The breeder said that she'd just send the male out extra early next time and I told her that I didn't think there would be a next time. She was fine with that and didn't express any interest in paying all the fees so it looks like Enna will be spayed once we're certain she isn't pregnant.
Enna was never meant to be a breeding dog, we were just getting a pet, but once Kora passed the breeder asked to keep Enna intact. It's still hard to think of not having fluffy puppies around, taking tons of pictures for future owners and experiencing their growing stages. It's all for the better though to not have Enna have puppies. Her chances of cancer greatly drop once she's spayed and we won't have to deal with the trials of labor, birth and possible deaths.
In more positive news, the Boerboel breeder (who is fantastic by the way! She answers all my questions, emails promptly and keeps me well informed. So nice to deal with a breeder who actually is professional) let me know that one of her females is expecting a litter late June.
Allie (sweetest face in the whole world. 117 pounds, 26 inches tall)
Baldur (160 pounds, 29 inches tall)
If they produce a male fawn (Baldur is brindle) she says he's ours. We may even take anything at this point since I'm tired of waiting :)
We also have our name down for her next breeding that will be born in July if Allie and Baldur don't produce anything we want.
Too bad if we got a pup from the June litter he wouldn't be able to come home with us until August which feels like FOREVER away.
Cute puppies! That does seem forever away but at least the breeder lets you know what is going on! Sorry about enna though, that is rough!
