Well, folks, it's day one for the Extra litter saga. I expect Penny to be ready for breeding around February 3rd for puppies near April 8, 2010.

You can see more about this litter at http://www.redyre.com/extra.html

I will be updating this thread as we go along.

Looks like you and I will be on another litter episode together!!

Oh that will be fun! All good luck to you!

much congrats to you!

Happy healthy puppy vibes, coming your way

MsB

More puppy fun to look forward too and MORE Puppy Cams, I hope!

Let the tally begin.

$65.00 today for the Brucellosis test. We have another vet visit tomorrow. (cha ching)

Well? Whats going on here? You can't just leave us hanging!

MsB

I had the culture done on Wednesday. ($158.00). Tomorrow we go for the first Progesterone test. We will go again on Monday. I expect breeding Wed or Thurs.

Hopefully, I will be bred by then too.

You are just a ho. LMAO!!

Want to hear something cool? This dog is in NJ. I am in NC. Stud dog owner's daughter lives in the same town as my pal near Raleigh. 2 hours away. He's coming down to visit her, so no drive to NJ.

haha

Progesterone results for yesterday, .2 so she has a long way to go yet.

We are looking for 3 (luteinizing hormone surge), and then 5 (ovulation occurs when the bitch reaches 5 nanograms per ml). Once she reaches 5, then breeding will occur 2 to 4 days later.

I will do another test on Monday to see where we are. Results can change quite rapidly, so stay tuned for updates next week.

maybe its posted somewhere... but i didnt see it. what made you choose this stud?

First of all, he is not a very photogenic dog.

I chose this dog because I like him personally, and I like what I have seen that he has produced so far.

I knew his sire and I LOVED that dog. The pedigree behind this dog has produced some of not only the top winning dogs in my breed in the last 5-6 years, also many top producers.

good luck

Nice! I was just wondering.

Milton says his mom is ripe. We all had a rather sleepless night last night due to his inability to be QUIET. (whine whine whine).

We are off for another Progesterone test this morning. I expect she will show near 5 when results come in tomorrow morning, and we will be heading off to visit Vinnie.

Please keep good thoughts for a successful breeding, settling, and puppies!

Good vibes coming your way!!!! I'm having some sleepless nights too, both boys are driving me nuts!!!!

OMG. He is off the hook tonight. He is being very good as long as I let him lie by the door to the room where she is.

I am leaving for Raleigh in the morning as soon as I get the results. She has got to be ready according to all this. LOL
