It's finally time!
Gem went into season right on schedule and after a bit of a confused standoff between the two we got a successful tie pretty quickly!
Normally we'll let the dogs be and stay nearby incase there's issues but with Gem we felt far more comfortable having her owner, Sera, helping to keep her calm. She's thankfully not leash reactive but there was enough worry on our end that for her and Ezio's safety we felt keeping her leashed was the best way to go about it.
Ezio was a total gentleman about it, backed off properly if she warned him away, and was quick and efficient about the mount and tie. This is the first time Sera has dealt with something quite like this so we're glad that overall it was a smooth process!
We did let them time once more the next day as well just in case and thankfully it was much smoother on both dogs.
Sera has loved having Ezio around the grounds and it's been wonderful to have Gem interact with him the last little while, he will definitely be missed!
Once we've confirmed conception we'll be back with more updates!
