The DOUBLE Litter - post 202 kids and puppy pix!

[Redyre Rotties]

neener neener neeeeeener.

Penny is confirmed in whelp today by ultrasound. This will be a large litter. Altho we did not count, there were numerous vesicles, easy to find. Embryos look healthy with proper placental development.

Today is day 30 from ovulation. (Progesterone was 5.5 on August 10, breedings took place August 12 and 14). Puppies are due October 11.

She will be exrayed on the 8th so we can get a rough count.

That sounds like so much fun!
I'm very depressed today because I don't have a puppy anymore! Someone stole my puppy and left a big ol' dog in his place!

Maybe I can re-live puppyhood all over again thru you and Penny.

You know...I guess I'm just not big on puppies...

I hate puppy breath, hate the teeth (NEEDLES), hate the potties....

Give me a full-grown dog any day!

Less than a month ago I was whining to DH, I wish Jax would hurry up and grow up already!

Glad things are going well. Will you get a sonogram pic?? : ) I've never seen a canine one! Just curious , at what age do you wean Rott pups? Do you have the pups placed already? And are you worried at all about the pups being weaned and possibly ready for homes before Christmas? Or did you plan it that way?

I did get one, but I have not scanned it. Maybe I can get that done sometime soon.

I don't wean puppies. They have access to their mother until they go to their new homes, or she says no more.

Quote:
I have 6 puppies placed. Once they are born I will contact others on my waiting list. As I stated above, weaning is not a consideration. These puppies will be leaving to go to their new homes when they are 8 weeks, about Dec. 15. No, I did not plan them to be ready near Christmas, that is just the way her cycle fell.

They are all going to experienced homes so I don't anticipate any problems, however, I am always available to my puppy buyers if they have any issues.

I'm happy there are such responsible breeders out there, perpetuating the best qualities of their chosen breed and not in it for the money! That's for sure!

Hope all goes well, can't wait to see baby pictures too! Hehehe...

Cool, it is sooo nice to see responsible breeders!


I would really love to see the sonogram picture if you can scan it.


Here in CA they passed a law a couple years ago that puppies under 8 weeks could not be sold, given away.. whatever. I think it's a great law as under 8 weeks is too young IMO. Do other states have that law does anyone know??



I just got a new puppy, a Norwich terrier.... never had a small dog before .. definitely HARDER to potty train and such a small bladder heeheee. Never imagined I'd have a little dog like this... but she is sweet, not a yipper and tons of personality. I jut have to be careful not to step on her!
