See, I have always practiced keeping them in the same room and crated side-by-side, with times out for either, and/or parties was easier or LESS annoying than separate rooms. But that's me in my breed and my experiences.

Getting all my fingers crossed and hopes and dreams riled up.

DING DING DING DING!!!!

Progesterone was 4.2 yesterday!

So, we are off to see the "wizard", with breeding Friday and Sunday. Please wish us 10 healthy babies.

Good luck and best wishes for a beautiful and healthy litter!

We had a successful breeding. The semen quality is outstanding. I mean this guy is off the charts as far as count and motility. I have a very good feeling about the whole thing.

I got a breeding today too!!! Maybe we will have puppies on the same day!! Oh, that just sounded so 5th grade!!! Congrats!!!

We got another breeding today. What a nice dog he is. Vinnie will be 8 before this litter is whelped.

YUMMY VINNIE!! LOVE his head! Wow, what a nice dog!

You should see the bone! His photos do not do him justice.

If progesterone numbers combined with a bitch standing like a brick wall, and outstanding semen quality have anything to do with it, we should have gotten it right!

He is stunning!! Here's to decent size litters, easy whelpings, and Specialty winners coming out of our litters!

Now THAT picture....i like his head!

Very nice!


Sending big healthy litter vibes!

Today is day 5 of 63. I will be photographing and updating every Friday for the next 8 weeks, so you can look for your weekly Friday Extra report.

Ultra sound to confirm she is in whelp will be on Friday March 5, which is day 29. Assuming she is "positive" pre-partum exray will be on Monday April 5, day 60.

Puppies expected April 8th.

Great planning! As usual. I wish he had more color...but that's just me.

He should have more color! It's definitely a fault, but it is the icing rather than the cake. He also does not seem to be producing it. Penny has already produced a majority of clear marked progeny from another sooty boy. (Shaka)

Day 25

What do you think?



Not pregnant

She looks a little fuller to me in the middle.

On ultrasound exam today, it appears that Penny is empty. Very disappointing news, of course, but we will move on from here with other plans.

Penny will be spayed later this spring.

I am so sorry to hear! Here's to hoping the ultrasound was wrong!

And it could be.

I am going to have the blood test done next week, that will certainly tell the story.

I cannot express how disappointed I am.

Sorry.

Oh no!!!

The "relaxin" test, if that is what you are doing, is not reliable from what I have heard.

Was the stud dogs semen tested? Ugh. I am just sick for you. I think you should try again! Crap!

This damn "hobby" is just full of heartache...the joy makes it worth it...but its time's like this I say "what the hell?"

Then, I go back to my saying I have to live by: everything happens for a reason.

I also think...don't give up on her so soon!

Thinking of you. Email me or come chat tomorrow night on webcam...it will be up at 8pm CST
