We have our first pregnant foster dog! I know there are a bunch of people here with dog experience and I was hoping for some breed guesses and maybe some advice...
The shelter she dumped at guessed brittany/beagle for breed, but I don't see the brittany at all... The rescue she was in before she came to up here (she is from GA somewhere) guessed beagle/collie. That seems closer, I guess... I definitely see beagle (and hear it too, she bays like a beagle), but I'm not sure what else. She has a really wide chest which looks very bulldoggy to me, so I'm leaning toward beagle/bulldog. I don't have a good picture of her from the front yet, so you can't really see it in the pictures...
This is Sunday night, right when we got her home. She was REALLY dirty and had flees. You can see how dirty the fur on her chest is...
This is Wednesday on her first walk in our woods. After three thorough baths and Revolution for the flees, we let her meet our dogs and explore our house and yard. She loves our whole gang, from our four pound papillon mix to our hundred and six pound berner! For scale, the other dog in the picture is Jack, our (supposedly purebred) sheltie who is about forty pounds. We were told she is fifty-two pounds or so, but she's very pregnant...
The hair loss on her nose, ears and tail is from demodectic mange which she was treated for before we got her...
She is a very sweet dog and we love her already! Every time someone new comes in the room her tail wags like crazy! This is our first time doing this so any advice about caring for her and her impending puppies is very welcome... From what we were told, she is at least 57 days pregnant, so she is due any day!
Thanks!
