Norskgra Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 If both of them are in whelp, there will be two litters two weeks apart. Both dams have required c-sections previously and both have problems with their progesterone dropping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifi Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Oh Norskgra, I think your girls are trying to get even with you for moving and boarding them What a sneaky pair of tartlets they are ! kind of like my friends little flock of coloured sheep.......she told them they weren't going to be put in lamb a couple of years ago because of the drought/feed situation.....so the sneaky girls broke OUT of their paddock, went miles up the road and BROKE OUT a nice newly imported $$$$ border-leister ram & brought him HOME with them !!!! farmer came & picked him up, and..............yup.........all lambed !!! You are going to be a busy pair !! fifi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifi Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Funny thing is BB, those naughty sheepies walked past TWO merino studs to get to their choice of man !! Norsgkra, I"m with Aziah & BB, if you were busily planning these litters it wouldn't happen, if you've got the time/money/homes and they are matings you would have done anyway, I'd let mother nature do her thing ! fifi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norskgra Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 Thanks everyone. Funny thing is BB, those naughty sheepies walked past TWO merino studs to get to their choice of man !!Norsgkra, I"m with Aziah & BB, if you were busily planning these litters it wouldn't happen, if you've got the time/money/homes and they are matings you would have done anyway, I'd let mother nature do her thing ! fifi I probably wouldn't have bred Tyra again after what she has been through. I hadn't decided on who to use on Kari as I was going to mate her daughter Prada first. The boy who mated with Kari is a younger full brother of Prada's sire and she has turned out nicely. If Kari is in whelp, this will probably be her last litter. It will definately be Tyra's last one but the dog who mated with her, I used on her daughter, Angel, and they produced some very nice pups. I am going to let nature take its course. It is just a matter of waiting to see if they are in whelp. Tyra would be about 18 days, if she is in whelp, and is showing a couple of signs. I guess I could be busy and broke around Christmas and New Year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellz Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I guess I could be busy and broke :nahnah: around Christmas and New Year. I hear you! The litter that I wanted and planned on didn't eventuate, the oops litter will be 4 weeks old when the planned Stafford litter arrives and with the work that has the potential to bring, I'll certainly know I'm alive. If everything had gone to plan, the "proper" Cocker litter would be going on 8 weeks when the Staffords arrived so it wouldn't have been anywhere near as much work. Oh well, just think of the puppy breath and snuggles I'll be getting over Christmas.....and you too Norskgra!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norskgra Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 Thanks everyone. I don't think I will be too disappointed if they don't happen but i do love puppy breath. Norskgra what dates so we can put them in the thread. Always remove if not happening. Tyra would be due on 26th December and Kari will be due on 12th January, if they are in whelp.

Norskgra Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 After the vet saying that Tyra wasn't in whelp, she delivered naturally three beautiful babies. Unfortunately, a huge male died but she has two little girls. One weighs 247g and the other 261g. Now I need to find some names. I was thinking about a surprise theme but I can't think of any names. Does anyone have any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norskgra Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 We all survived the first night. We hardly slept at all but that is normal when you have a litter. They may be small but they are very active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
