Thank you all for the info! I’ll definitely try to get in contact with the breeders listed to see what they have planned for the upcoming winter/in the future.
Hopefully Babies for Langarni Basenjis.

And my girls never "read" that book about temperature!! period… we never found a pattern and Maggii's temp never dropped
-
Oh..I am so excited for you and nervous too..it will all be good..keeping my fingers crossed and sending good vibes to all of you..keep us posted.:)
-
Not long now!! I hope all goes well.
-
Thanks guys…
So far no action yet. She has eaten her breakfast, and is otherwise behaving quite normally. Dont think things will happen for a few days yet :)... Will keep you up to date when things begin
-
Here we are 24 hours later, and still no action

Here we are 24 hours later, and still no action
Just remember they don't read the books… My Maggii ate breakfast at 8am... delivered the first puppy at 11:30... Maiden bitch and it freaked her out... didn't have the next one till 1:30... then every 30 minutes for a grand total of 6!... Her temp never dropped.
Mickii refused to eat in the morning, 1st born at 1pm, 4 puppies and don at 2:15pm... temp never dropped
Fatia ate dinner at 6pm, when into labor at 11pm, done at 1:30 = 4 pups... and not to freak you out... but then 3 hours later she whelped a pup with an exposed skull that was not viable... On her xray they saw the 4, and because she had not "pooped" miss the 5th, but not sure if they would have been able to tell if that one was viable or not...
-
Well its now 11pm, and still nothing… These babies are going to be July babies, the way she is going
!!!Tanza, I think she is just going to do it, all in her good time, Basenji time, of course ;)... Interesting that your girls did nothing with their temperatures at all. Im starting to wonder just if its a bit over-rated ??? I am also thinking that the brand new thermometer, I bought ths Monday, is faulty ??? According to all the temps Ive taken, Ochre should have had the babies a day or two ago... They are still playing football in the tummy, so all is well with them... I guess time will tell :rolleyes:
-
Rio's temp when I began taking it was already low. My vet said not to worry, we started a 5 days before she was due so either the thermometer was reading low or she was just running cooler than the "average" dog. She said don't worry about the number look for a drop of at least a degree from that number or nesting behavior.
I don't usually do the temperature thing but since we knew we were going to do a C-section, it was important to try to get the timing right.
-
And all of mine "nested"…. lots on the day/evening they whelped. Lots and Lots of digging.....
-
Patience is the key (but not too much!) I do hope she'll bless you with these puppies soon.
-
SIGH…........................... Me too Patty :rolleyes:
-
Those last few days are the worst for waiting…..
-
Jennie, thinking about y'all…hope all is good..
-
Yes, thinking of you all and hoping all is going well. My goodness - you are getting quite the wait. But what is it that is said? "Good things come to those who wait".
-
Well the news here is ….................................................NOTHING :D...
She ate breakfast and lunch, and is behaving VERY normally... The only slightly exciting thing is she does have a very small amount of colostrum/milk in the bottom 4 nipples, and while Kylie has said this is a good sign, and she may whelp in the next 24 hours, somehow Im not sure Ochre is going to be 'obeying' that rule :rolleyes:;):p...
Day 61 today, and I feel like I have been 'on hold' for weeks now !!!
So much for the 2 pieces of advice Ive had... 1) Most B girls go around day 60..., and 2) Most B girls with largish litters usually go early... YEAH right !!! Ochre obviously listened to both of those, and thought, "I will teach you Mum, for getting your hopes up far too early" :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Waiting, waiting, waiting :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Oh forgot to say, that the whelping box is now done... MR Saba has done a really good job, I think its the best one he has made :-). Will take a pic of it, (and Ochre, cos the babies will still be inside !!!), tomorrow and put it up...
-
Oooooooooh - tomorrow we want to have puppy-pics!
Best wishes for the birth from Germany, too
-
So excited for you.
Hoping all goes well!! -
The wait is nearly over - can't wait to see the new puppy pics! Good and happy thoughts to Ochre - bet she is also ready to have it done!
-
Now the whelping box is ready - (if she approves!) Ochre may 'get on with it'.

Never believe all you've been told!!!!!
I think you've got us all anxious - I click on every day hoping for the good news! (and photos!)

Come on Ochre…
