I walk my in season bitches, but only road walking city streets, where no dogs have any right being off lead.
I do of course walk all six together and that is enough to deter a loose dog that we might encounter.
Have to say we never do as it is so expensive to get a dog back from the council owners take good care to keep their dogs secure.
I'd never take the risk of taking them near open spaces.
You have really dodged a bullet there.
Had the dog been entire, it would have meant taking DNA samples from both parents of the planned litter, and all the pups to prove which were correct. That would have been £25 for each plus vets costs for taking samples.
