"The two Neos I have came from champion lines of great breeders and have healthy parents. Both dogs were the breeders’ pick of litters and to purchase alone I spent $7,000.00. Both dogs came from both long lines of c-section, and AI .... maybe I’m expecting too much from these dogs to be able to do things naturally. Maybe the maternal instinct is all that is left. I don't think I will try and breed these two again. I love this breed but I am not a breeder and never plan to be. " Jessica wrote. But haven't we beat this horse to death? I do hope Jessica will get an experienced breeder in Neapolitans to mentor.
