Oh that never fails, you don't have the time, then when you do............limited trials or none. Yep that is how it goes lol.
Yes, it is looking like Operation Get Who Knocked Up is a success (thankfully after all the money I spent on it so far lol) It has been 24 days since the first breeding. Her barrel has expanded a ton, she looks like she has eaten a loaf of bread, developing a pouch in her belly and her teats are starting to get larger. This past week she has been a touch bitchy (not like her at all) with the other dogs. I showed Who to one of my students on Wednesday, this student has been a breeder of small dogs for a long time. She looked at her and said, 'preggo's without a doubt'. She also lightly palped her (I didn't want her to palp hard) and said she readily felt 3 hazel nuts up in there on the one side and didn't check the other side
I really wasn't comfortable with even a light palp, dont see the need esp in this day and age, when we can safely check them by ultrasound. It just means waiting to find out by a couple of weeks. I have an ultrasound booked for her on the 19th. I'll book her for an xray the week before her due date if there is any question of how many she is having.
