Pictures of Eli this morning, playing frisbee, which she loves and great exercise and then she decided that the pups needed cooling off, so down she went to swim to the other side of the river. The outside temperature was -1, a little chilly, but not for her I guess!!!
Now that I know that puppies are expected ,here is some more information!! The birth date is expected around may 22nd and then the puppies can go to their new homes July 10th , depending on the actual birthdate, but at 7 weeks they are allowed to leave. They will be chipped, vaccinated with their first puppy shot at 6 weeks, checked by my vet, get their petpasport, which is an important document nowadays, as that is what you need when you cross any border with your dog and it has all the information in it about your dog. Puppypack with a kilo of puppyfood and information booklet ect. I will have a bag of 18 kilo puppyfood for you to take, so for the first 4 months the puppy is on the same food and you won't have any digestive problems. After that is finished you can decide if you want to change!! They will be de-wormed at 2,4 and 6 weeks!! And the PEDIGREE which takes about 4 months and I will send to you. As of April 1st you can choose to have your puppies DNA done and you will receive a dna card and on his pedigree it will say parents dna certified and a form with his whole dna profile.
The link above is the program I start when the puppies are 3 days old and will do for 14 days. You can read all about the exercises and what it is supposed to do.
About the name: Belgium has the rule that this year the name has to start with the letter L. 3 letter minimum, 10 maximum, one word. So it should be Whispering Oaks L........ Today is week 4 and Eli is acting like a pregnant lady, picking at her food, so she gets several smaller portions a day and very clingy to me, yet when we are out, she is ready to work which we do daily and is good exercise for her. She will let me know when it is time to stop and just go for walks, which is usually around week 7.
Eli was bred to Odin on March 20th & 21 and if all goes as expected, puppies will be born around May 22nd and will be ready to go home around July 10th. I will have an ultrasound done in about 4 weeks!!! Will keep you updated here!!
Well totally unexpected Eli went into season yesterday, so we will be a little earlier then planned!! Leave it to nature to run it's course, but no problem!!! We will breed her probably the week of the 19th , depending on her bloodtests which we will be doing this coming week. So fingers crossed!!
Well, all is set for our trip to Sweden for a breeding to Odin!!! It should still be at least about 6 weeks, but since her mother and daughter are in season now, always expect the unexpected!!! Will give an update here>
Well here it is ,the breeding announcement of Eli and Odin. If anyone wants more info on either dog, please email me.The breeding is planned for the end of April !!!
