breeding season over

So that was 6 months of full time work to breed our beautiful Lhasa Apso Puppies, who are now all enjoying their new homes.
 It started back in Feb when they were in heat and then mating in march born in may and then the busiest months were June and July with 18 hour care routines and lots of visits to find their new homes, for which i was off work and on puppy duty full time. It is no easy thing to breed and raise quality puppies, there is a great deal of worry and stress from conception though to birth is the worst worry time for me, as i love my dogs, they are my babies and their health is very important to me. So im please now to report both mums are in excellent health neither have shown any anxiety over their puppies leaving, we have been spending extra time with them to get them into shape and happy mood. This has included extra walks and agility training on our agility course in our garden and a special diet. they are very happy girls. 
Thank you for all your feedback and texts coming in, i am so please to know that the puppies are settling in well and of course that you feel we did a good job raising and training them, that's always nice to hear.
We have made 15 new families this past month and people still ask me do i miss them and don't i get sad and the answer is yes of course i miss them, that soft puppy fur their little cry's and puppy breath! but how can it be sad when we make people happy. 
One thing i get told a lot is that we must of made lots on money, but we didn't, after food, surgery, toys, puppy pads, cleaning products, vet bills, microchipping, worming treatments, advertising, paperwork, registration fees, puppy pack bits, and not including the cost to my time and my husbands in puppy care, the cost of breeding was over £5500.00 so there was a small profit which basic covers flee and worm treatments for my dogs plus their annual injections, new collars, beds,  leads and food for the next year, plus we spent some of it on hydrotherapy for toby our oldest dog for his stiff back and on a trainer for penny.
it has been very challenging but we learned we can definitely have two litters at once and not compromise the care of any of the puppies.
it has been very enjoyable and i already cant wait to have a busy house again next time in 2016.
