Sorry I can's seem to get your register to work - however, thanks for the many answers.  I have had advice from my breeder and turned down two bitches who are not considered suitable.  I am aware that my dog will howl and whinewhen my bitch is in season he does that now even though he is separated from her for the whole time.  What I was most concerned with is the changethat might come over him and how he will cope with his first time.  Many thanks for the post suggesting that I should first accept an experience bitch and handler, that would seem the wisest way to go.  I still have'net deceided yet.
