tdierikx Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 When's the approximate due date Allerzeit? The last time I had a pregnant Rotti was back in 1995... she blew out from 36kg to 51kg, and gave me 11 big babies on Christmas Day... so much for me relaxing and enjoying myself... spent the afternoon/evening up to my eyeballs in dog afterbirth... *sigh*... she was a complete bitch about food while pregnant too - would only eat lean beef (no fat at all) smothered in milk...

Allerzeit Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 23rd of September :) I count ourselves very lucky that we've never had a bitch go picky with food while pregnant (touching wood while I say that!) - I think that would drive me mad!

If you don't mind her going 2 days over, then the babies can share my Pickles' birthday... *grin* When's the approximate due date Allerzeit?

RiverStar-Aura Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Allerzeit I do keep thinking though that you need to update your signature images. I keep picturing poor little puppy Nova being mated and having lots of puppies! I'm like nooooooooo, how could you mate such a cute little angel face?! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpette Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 The nightmare is having enough puppy collars that are very different in colour, so that you do not mix up the puppies as they grow and develop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the Vizslak, when they produce the numbers, we have used two different styles AND careful note taking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allerzeit Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Our rule is 500g per puppy............... So that means with 10kg weight gain................. 20 puppies :bolt: Noooo, the rule of thumb is around 1kg per puppy - Enya gained 1.18kg per puppy, and Feonix gained 1.14kg per puppy :) 500 grams weight gain per puppy would be awfully tiny puppies! Don't forget, you have to take into account the placenta, etc, as well as the puppy, and the puppies weigh around 350 - 500 grams on their own :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 My Rotti girl gained 15kgs for her 11 pups... and they were all around 450g each at birth... which was a nice size I reckon. she was so big near the end that she couldn't reach to lick/scratch between her enormous udders, so we taught her a new trick "show us yer tits", where she'd roll on her back to show her boobies, and then we'd scratch between them for her... lol! I didn't weigh my Lab before she dropped her 10 500g pups.. but she was HUGE! And udders that would have put Dolly Parton to shame to boot! T.

grumpette Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) Motherhood is definitely murder on a girl's figure. This is what Zeph's litter did to poor Bliss. These were taken on Bliss and Baylee's birthday 12th May And 2 weeks later when they have teefs Edited September 3, 2014 by grumpette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
