bloody copulation (a bit graphic)

[Silvergrin]

Well... someone mentioned to me that this COULD happen, but I've never seen it before. Apparently it's fairly harmless??

Certainly looks horrendous, I'd be freaking out if another breeder hadn't told me this happens sometimes, and the ladies are apparently fine. Lady Bub (the snow) certainly didn't seem distressed, wasn't holding her tail funny or anything.

Yeesh.

it's really awesome that you posted this... If I walked in on this scene I would be horrified. It's good to know it "can" happen.
