What colors are you expecting?

mostly black and white. If Banshee is pure black and white, the whole litter shall be b&w. If not, there is a small chance that we also might have red and white.
Janneke, I am getting real nervous now. Everyday I listen to Banshee's belly, if there is anything happening which could be of interest for me, I am waiting for little kicks of the puppies, but I think it still is too early for those.

Pretty soon, by day 49 you should be able to feel them. I always talk to them in the belly.

I have already tried to tell them, which sexes in which quantities I have been asked for. But I think, this still will remain for our surprise ;-) and as always, I didn't get a response…..

Today is Day 42 of Banshee's pregnancy. She is doing fine and enjoys the "becoming-soon-a-mum-program".
About 21 more days to go…

I am also very surprised. But if you keep in mind, that she is a tiny and slim girl (when she is not pregnant), this might be the reason, why she looks that way now.
In normal Show Condition, she is about 8,5 kg and 40 cm of hight.

Today is Day 47 of Banshee's pregnancy. Poor little girl. She really has to carry a lot. Slowly but surely she minimizes the quantities of food. I think the puppies are growing and therefore there is not enough room left for a full stomach. But by now, she get's food whenever she wants some. Even if it is only a spoon full of minced meat with joghurt (peach).

OK, this kind of makes me worry about mating my little girl, she's only one and being pregnant is a long way off for her. I've never had a pregnant girl. Do they suffer during the pregnancy (I mean other than giving birth)? Do they get around ok and and are they able to take care of themselves pretty well?

They get along just fine… my have always run up and down the stairs, outside to try and catch squirrels... all the way up till the day they Whelp... We were even at a lure trial 3 days before Maggii whelped.. and believe me, if we would have let her, she would have "chased" for that bunny...:p One thing I will say, I do not feed them any different (amount or kind) during the first 4 weeks... starting in the 5th week, I change to puppy food, but do change the amount. (of course this was before the days of EVO and its kind, so now I would most likely just leave them on the food they have been on all the way till the last two weeks. This is when the babies grow the most... I will increase the food a little each time till the last week they might be on double what they usually would get and start adding things like 4% cottage cheese, some liver... and start splitting it up into more smaller meals. When they whelp, the first two weeks they have food all the time all they want and especially water, they drink lots....
