@YodelDogs:
The breedings have been done. Three successful natural breedings between Marty x Bindi. She is due Nov 25 (from the first breeding) although I think she probably conceived on her second breeding, which would put the pups due Nov 28. Things didn't go so well with Jozie. Both parties were ready and willing but just not able. I took Jozie to a reproduction specialist yesterday and it seems that she has a vaginal stricture which was what was preventing a natural breeding. We ran a progesterone test on her and she was ready to breed. I took Marty and Jozie back to the repro vet today and we did an AI. If she conceives, she will be due Dec 2.
This has been a hectic week and I sure am glad the breeding part is over now. I'm taking Marty back to his owner tomorrow but I'll still be keeping the girls separate from Baron for another 2-4 weeks. Maybe the howling will cease then. yawns
Congrats, I hope that means lots of puppies. Regarding Jozie, will the stricture cause any issues for the whelping? Hopefully not.
