******* Update: The breeder called me tonight and wants to keep her through the first tapping/rolling. I guess all good breeders will do that. I was not aware of that. The vet said it is also best to keep the pup with the mother during this procedure. I think it is best for *******. So (sadley) it looks like I have to wait two weeks until all the stiches are out and the first rolling takes place. I think it's best for *******.
