OMG!
I'm still in a denial stage, but I guess ultrasound doesn't lie and we might need great homes for 7 lovely mixes... If they take any after their mother, they will be extremely smart, extremely cuddly and super talented for agility. If they take after their father, they will be smart, determined, unstoppable, sneaky, fast and do-ers.
To start the story at the beginning... So, after her last heat, To got rather careful, calm and slow(er). And really fat, so I first tried to get some weight off... And then realized she must have false pregnancy... So I was waiting for it to pass and actually stopped doing agility as she was just too fat to run... - but as she was just getting fatter&fatter, I took her to the vet with me when Le had tooth extraction and told them To has really bad false pregnancy and what to do about it. But hm, well, as usually, it turned out I'm wrong and To is right...
She seems very proud of herself and is taking a good care of her huge belly, so I think she will make a good mum. The puppies should be born between February 10 and 15. We're not sure who the father is - most likely a local mix that looks a bit like smooth PyrShep x Toller mix (but isn't of course) of about 47cm.
I've had unspayed females for 19 years and never understood how something like this can happen, but well, I guess I know now... - She was alone in the (fenced) yard for max. 5min...
Anyway, I'm still in shock and need some time to digest this, but I guess I have some trials to cancel and probably also some on line classes to move to later dates, so... Will let you know more once I regroup and accept To has a tiny bit different plans as I did...
I guess it won't be all that peaceful much longer:
Well, they don’t call them “Whoops Litters” for nothing!
I am both sad that I won’t get to see any To agility videos for a while and secretly planning a trip to Slovenia so I can make off with some To babies.
🙂
if there is any possibility that the woops is from joey from Polona i’m the candidate 😉 😀
No, that’s not a possibility. His brother could be IF To is ovulating on 5th day of heat, IF I sleep much better as I think and IF Le didn’t do her job of alarming every move of unapproved black dogs.
Ohhhhh, so that´s To´s plan 🙂 beeing mother and keeping you for sure busy ;)!!!!!I wish To the best and that everything goes great!!!! <3
Siliva maybe Le aproved that move 🙂 🙂
Don´t worry Silvia, there´re worse things in the world than puppies 🙂
And hey, To maybe thinks you need some new adventure in your life -- winning every competition it´s quite a routine for you 😀
Wish you all the best !
Oh No! What a shock! Well that should be quite exciting… Another Journey!
WOW Silvia ! puppies are a LOT of fun 😀 and cleaning…;) and I REALLY want one…Too Bad I’m at my limit with 3 dogs and a new job and no spare time…agh….
Maybe you should change the job! 🙂
Make sure to sleep (a lot!) the first three weeks after the gang is born, after that forget it! If you haven’t been busy before, well this is the time to explore was busy is really all about! 😀
Really looking forward to see the outcome!
I’m not sleeping at all, worrying puppies might come early as her belly is just too big to get any bigger!
Most important thing is that she is ok- and she sure will!
You love challenges and she gives you a new one! I am sure you will love it!
Yes, job is “temporary” -- for another ~2.5 yrs 😉 make sure you feel/see puppies moving “under the skin” as they get bigger -- one of the weirdest and most exciting thing to feel with your fingers….
