missymoe Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 German Shepherd puppies for us around December 16th confirmed by ultrasound today Wooo Hooo. :D I didn't want to post too early after my last disappointment. Yes, I just made that mistake posting an impending birth for the 7th December of Bullmastiff babes. Will wait be ultrasounded next time. Congratulations, hope you have a healthy, happy litter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwaY Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Bokezu the only guaranteed way for numbers is a Xray, after 7 weeks. I have had 2 Xrays, both times the count was wrong. Last one was done on the newest machine in Australia. First time count was out by 2, second was out by 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordogs Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 (edited) missymoe, Sorry for your disappointment, I feel your pain. I too will never post again without confirmation, the disappointment we feel when we have to tell all that we will not have puppies this time is terrible. All I can say is better luck next time.

Bilbo Baggins Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 There is many a slip between the lip and cup. A dog can be confirmed and then absorb. My ruby girl's second last litter was 4 but only 1 arrived. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunnwarren Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Thinking of having Secret xrayed later after having probs with her last litter. She has been on raspberry leaf tablets this time as she just stopped pushing last litter and had to have a csection. Do they really work or am I just pushing pills down her throat for no reason lol. Love the pics of puppies sleeping on blankets etc. how come my bitches just keep digging when I try to put them on blankets after puppies are born? I have all my pups and bitches on carpet now so she cant cover pups with the blankets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stolzseinrotts Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 (edited) Good luck to all the pending Mum's, may you all have healthy and safe arrivals. We are hoping for a Rottweiler litter due Dec 18th. This will be our first summer litter in a very long time, we normally only ever have winter litters. Any tips to cope with the warm weather would be very welcome. Edited November 14, 2010 by Stolzseinrotts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBT101 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 (edited) Our whelping room has a tiled floor and I also have an a/c in the lounge which will cool it down enough if need be. Cynda has lost her waist line now and she is still not coping with pregnancy to well. She is eating fine now but just doesn't like the fact that she is not aloud to jump etc and cracks the shits all the time Will get some photos later... Has everyone picked out their pedigree names for their puppies yet? We have had ours (well theme) picked out for months and I cant wait to hear people try and pronounce these names ;) Edited November 15, 2010 by SBT101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
