6

I'm guessing 8, and if she goes all the way to the 17th, they will be big puppies

Put me down for 7.
She is a cutie.
Rick

I am going to go 8...but I think four of them will be St. Bernards...

I always feel sorry for mamas...they look like its miserable to even move

I just saw pictures of a Spinone that had 12 she looked like the Queen Mary just before.

I think 5 pups..3 males and 2 females ...ruth

NOOOOO! We need AT LEAST 3 girls! I have deposits for 2 and my 8 yr old stepdaughter is dead set on keeping a girl (Silvermist!....Can you just hear me at a field trial! Silvermist HERE!).

She looks like she has a belly full for sure she looks like she swallowed a watermelon

need to get one of her standing in various poses

Karen,

She still has a little more then two weeks to go! If she was going to have them tomorrow I would guess 6 but since she has more then two weeks more like 8 or 9 any more then that is too much work haha Lots of poops

Ann Marie

PS Good Luck tis weekend at Hudson Valley

Glad I didn't waste my money checking Blaze's sperm count!

Ann Marie, we decided to stay home this weekend. Connor's b-day is Saturday and I just couldn't bring myself to leave him alone.

Your name in a proper Mod color. - nine pups, one a runt ..I always get an ultrasound done so no pups are left in the uterine horn.

KNINE's isnt green either, i just noticed that...ruth

I'm guessing 7 good-sized pups.

10 pups. 4 males and 6 females.

She doesn't look very big, maybe 6-8?

Tess went to the vet 5 days before the pictures were taken and had gained around 8-9 lbs. She started out in the area of 32 lbs and was 40 lbs on 8/23 with around 25 days remaining.

I'm thinking 6.

5 pups - 4 males and 4 females.

Ron I think I need to get you a calculator.

I know women that add like that. They come home with NOTHING & say they spent $500!!

13 days left!

5

Karen...you're killing me! i was all excited for an xray pic! i will say 7.5....that way if it goes either way i'm set well at least it works out in my head

Danielle

6, 4 males, 2 females. Orange and white

7 4 girls- 3 boys all healthy and even weights we hope
Silvermist? Call name Mist? (Missed????) Interesting. At field trial appropriate because they are blanks. In the woods you might take some heat.

6. 3 of each. The perfect litter.

9 pups

And 7 days left (this was taken on Saturday).



So today she "officially" has 4 days left, but she looks like she's going to EXPLODE! Her temp was down slightly this morning, 1.2 degrees lower than last night and she ate her breakfast, so it's probably nothing, but I left the heat lamp on in the whelping box in the event she decides to deliver during the day, just in case.

Check her temp morn then again near noon time if you can ..if her temp stays down then you know it is getting closer ..if it comes back up it will be a bit still

Thanks knine. I'm at work, so I'll take her temp when I get home at 5:00 p.m. I'm thinking probably a false alarm, but left the heat lamp on just in case.

and you know it will be midnight when she does have them LOL

Yeah, I figure as much. Last time her co-owner was posting puppy pics on facebook half the night. I might as well have been there as I didn't sleep a wink looking for updates.

Me either! LOL I do love my Kiddo!

When that temp dips below 99 degrees you are within 6 -8hours of whelping. Her temp will start to drop slightly a few days ahead of time but it will need to drop to 98.9 or less before she will be ready to bring them into the world. How many did she have in her first litter? How many were in HER litter when she was born?
Good luck and Congrats....know you have been waiting a LONG time to do this breeding.

Her last litter was 7 pups (5 girls, 2 boys), not sure how many were in the litter she came out of though.

Her temperature is all over the place. I bought a new 10 second digital thermometer for this. Sunday & Monday her temp was between 100 and 100.3. Tuesday morning it read 98.8, last night it was 100.7. This morning it was 98.7. I'm wondering if I should stop at CVS and buy a new thermometer or if her temp is really that erradic.

She decided last night that she hates her whelping box (she's been sleeping in it and being fed in it for 10 days now, just to get her used to it without any issues), and barked for an hour straight until I went downstairs and slept in the recliner, then she was quiet. She better whelp soon...I'm not sure my back can take another couple nights in a recliner. :roll:

That is where getting the temp in mid afternoon helps If you can get it as they will bounce around. I think they do that to drive us nuts

Karen, when I bred Jasmine this spring, I had the same problem with the temperature. I took it every morning and night. My vet said that I should compare morning temps to morning temps. Not sure if that is true or not as it was her only litter (so far!). Hope it goes well for you!!!

I hope I get this in on time.
I am going to say that she will copy her last litter to the mark.

Still no puppies

I'm going to say 8 (5 girls 3 boys).

Sorry for the picture quality. We were hanging out in the basement last night, and the lighting isn't great down there.

She may change her mind if she can't have a little bit of privacy. I'll bet she has that litter when they are due and she is ready. You will know when you notice a pup or two in the box.

That will save you all this worry.
