Sherwood's breeding plans 2009
-
A year from now Bindi's going to be like "um…. where's Marty? We visited last year and the year before and I've been looking forward to this all year!!!"
Haha well she certainly didn't put up a fight.
-
How exciting!!!!
Can't wait to see al those puppy pics
-
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

Good to hear that the breeding went well. I hope Jozie concieves and puppies are to be had for her sake to.. Sounds like so much fun, I want puppies too..

Congrats, I hope that means lots of puppies.
Regarding Jozie, will the stricture cause any issues for the whelping? Hopefully not.Clay

The repro vet says that the chance of having complications is minimal. The hormones released during the birthing process relaxes the stricture allowing puppies to pass through normally. I'll have my vet on speed-dial just in case though.

Not that I want to get into an argument about this, but that is not how I understand it… and I know two bitches that had strictures... that were bred anyway... both had to have C-sections...
-
If she needs a c-section, she will get a c-section.

Time will tell but hopefully all will be well and have healthy happy puppies and mom.

Update Nov 8:
I took Bindi and Jozie for sonograms a few days ago. Bindi is definately pregnant but unfortunately, Jozie is not. Bindi still has 2 1/2 weeks to go and she is getting big. She is usually a busy girl, running around trying to get the cats to run so she can chase them, but lately she has become calm and loving. I must say I like this lovey-dovey Bindi better than the busy one lol.

Robyn, Good to hear about Bindi, so exciting. Can't wait to see the puppy pictures.
Sorry about Jozie, it will happen next time..
-
I wish Jozie was expecting also but I'm excited about Bindi. She is such a good mama. Looking forward to the big announcement and the pictures that follow!

I can feel the puppies kick now. It is so cool to not only feel them moving around but to see them moving too. One on the left is particulrly energetic. I hope that isn't a precurser to it's activity level once it is here lol.
-
That's exciting! It's not much longer, is it? Any idea as to the number?

-
How exciting Robyn, hope everything goes well with Bindi. Sorry about Jozie, not meant to be this time
-
Wow, how cool is that. Do you know how many are in their..in aball park? So very exciting..
-
Probably 4. I'm hoping for a tri male, tri female, and 2 reds, either gender.
-
4 sounds like a very manageable number.. I will keep my fingers crossed that they will come out in colors wished/hoped for.
Either way they will be absolutely adorable, I am sure of that.
