@donc - Not true that breeders traditionally breed for conformation only. Breeders (responsible breeders) breed for health, temperament and conformation. Health/temperament is at the top of the list. Breeders do of course look for certain conformation but that does not exclude Health & Temperament.

What a great jacket… where did those jackets come from, I really like the style.. very simple.

She is lovely, hope all goes well and we have puppy pics soon.

OMG! I think Magnum is pregnant! He looks very similar to TC's latest picture!
Hold up…I think he's just chubby!
Magnum says: I'm not fat, I'm phat...and a little bit phluffy!
Hope all goes well, Ivoss! Sending best wishes your way!

Oh my, TC is getting huge! Poor girl is really a petite little thing, and now she looks like a beached Orca whale.

So, she will get a bit bigger?
-
Oh she looks enormous!!! How exciting!!
Best of luck with it all, she is beautiful!!

Haha.. she IS huge..
I hope the last week won't take forever…. Those last days are always the slowest to go by..

You're right! Forgot to say: WE WANT PICS!!

Yes, she will get even bigger this week. At this point the puppies are doing lots of growing. Her x-ray appointment is 1 week from today and then we should have a good idea of how many we will be delivering.
I will do my best to post lots of pictures of the newborns. Everyone can also check the blog on October 31st, http://www.basenjinet.net/08litterblog/ for updates.

Is this her first litter? I hope all goes well. Give her a little belly rub from us
-
This will be TC's second litter. She had 5 pups in her first litter.

She looks huge? did you ultrasound? Do you have an idea on how many pups to expect??:rolleyes:
-
At 28 days from insemination, the vet saw definately 3 and said maybe 4. Last week, when she was at the vet, he said 4 maybe 5. So we will see what the x-ray shows. We sort of think that when the vet did the first ultrasound he only saw one horn of the uterus.

How is she doing now??

How is she doing now??
I am not Lisa, but talked to her last night, they were expecting TC to deliver any time between last night and tonight. But I have not heard yet that anything happened yet….

We are the "a watched basenji never whelps" stage. She is restless for a while and we start thinking, okay maybe now, then she decides "Nope, I think I just want a snack and a nap". The pups are quite low now and she is getting milk so we know it should be soon but she isn't giving any hints about when.
She woke my mom up an hour ago with digging and digging, then as soon as my mom was up she decided "just checking, nevermind." Now she is opening the cabinets in the kitchen, which she did quite a bit last night too.
