6 puppies, whelped 15/9 3 boys, 3 girls, all is well, this is Mum's last litter as she will be going to get desexed later on, she has done extremely well and is such a good Mum, she will enjoy life being a Nana after this

LOL yep all on my lonesome I am thinking that she is pregnant will know more in a week or so I dont do ultrasounds to check so it is all wait and see here I don't do ultra sounds either, I play the waiting game ,

Not alone any more , I have a litter due on the 4 th October, this is her second litter, her last litter she had them 4 days early and they were a good size , so will have to wait and see with this litter

I have a litter due on the 19 th, will be my 1 st litter with my prefix, then a litter 2 weeks later, I own Jack Russell's or should I say they own me

The little boy pup is good, they have come down, so at the moment all is well, thank you every body for your help

I just recieved my prefix a few weeks ago with Vic Dogs, my 1 st 6 were rejected ,then out of the second lot of 6 , the 2 nd one was accepted, here in Victoria , we have to be a member for 12 months , then sit and pay for a breeders exam test which you must pass before you can even put your application in for your prefix, I was just so happy in the end to have a prefix I didn't care what name was selected out of the ones I submitted as I liked them all

that should ring alarm bells It does a bit, it is still a waiting game , the pup in question is now 13 and a half weeks, the breeder has promised a refund if all is not well

2 nd opinion today , both are there , not completely down, Vet thinks he is a slow maturer, and his testes are small, but he will be okay for breeding, going to check him again in 2 weeks, so looking better than it did last week

He is a little Jack Russell Terrier, he is going for an ultra sound next week , and a second opinion, so here is hoping as he is a dear little fellow, I think that is part of the drama as you get attached to them very quickly

I know, there was his air fare, then Qantas take a fee for handling on pick up from the airport and also had to pay customs 10% of the purchase price for the puppy

The puppy has been here for a week so he is now 13 weeks old, he is kept inside and is nice and warm

Thank you Rebanne and Sandra for your replies, there is nothing on his vet check for export that he had 2 testicles, on contact with the New Zealand vet he has no documentation except on his own records that he was checked twice and had both testes, he said he is not obligated to supply on his export health check that he has 2 testes, breeder still claims he is holding them up, not sure what that is , but surely he would not hold them up for a week, he is contacting the breeder in question to see what can be worked out , I have never heard of a male dog not having a scrotum?

If you bought a 12 week old puppy from New Zealand for the purpose of stud duties when he is old enough, he arrives a little traumatised from the trip, but starts to settle down nicely, a week later he is examined by your own vet who states that his testes are not there and he has no scrotum, you contact the breeder in question whose only reply is , they were both there when he was exported over, he must be holding them up, would you play the waiting game and see what develops , the pup will be getting another vet's opinion next Wednesday, the vet that examined the puppy has put it in writing and sent his opinion of the puppy to the Breeder , what would be the obligations of the breeder in these circumstances and what would you do as a breeder if it was a pup bred by you

I am in Melbourne and use Craigeburn Vet Hospital, I find them very good, my little Jack Russell terrier was treated there a few weeks ago, and ended up being in the clinic for 4 days, I cannot fault the service they provided, every phone call was returned by her vet and I was kept up to date with all her tests and results , she is home now happy and healthy , the fees were very reasonable as well,
