Well on my end the cats out of the bag so to speak... most people already know! I'm sure I'm considered one of those "backyard breeders"... LOL Your secret is safe w/me!!! I had to give up an australian heeler because she had attacked me over a rabbit, and I was 6 mos pregnant at the time & my husband was in a war zone. Sometimes we make choices that we don't want to make, but it's the only choice that we have... I hate regrets!!!
