Betty-Jo and Jenny have both been bred to Toby (Harmony Mtn Silken Arreau) and are going tomorrow to be palpated to confirm pregnancy. It might be too soon for Jenny, so we have another appointment for Thursday, just in case. But last time we had nineteen deposits, and five babies were born. We we very blessed that a lot of the families kept their deposits with us until these litters are born, and I referred some to other breeders I trust. So, fingers crossed for two pregnancies and seventeen little redheads. If you would, prayers would be appreciated!

Lots of prayers winging their way from South Africa

Praying for lots of healthy pups!

BTW, love how you talked in some other thread about how you love and care for Quincy and your other dogs! Sounds like they hit the jackpot in landing in your home.

All the best.

Thank you so much! I am a basket case and will not calm down until we know we have two litters.

Peppersb...I adore all dogs, but mine are my surrogate kids since my three kids have grown up and moved on to their own lives. I think I am the lucky one...I have this incredible pack who get along perfectly with one another, yet welcome every other dog who enters our home. They are a foursome of awesomeness!

Oooh, so exciting! Prayers for many happy healthy little redheads coming into the world soon! I feel bad that you worry so much, but I am so glad for your dogs that you are that way! THAT is how a breeder should be, bless your heart!

Thank you! If both girls are preggers, I get to have one litter at my house! I am so excited! Trillium here co-owns three of my my ladies, so she whelped Betty's last litter at her place last time. I thought when I had my matriarch spayed, I would not have the privilege of having another litter here until I had my own puppy again, and waited two years. So, pretty exciting.

And omg...I worry about EVERYTHING! If you could see the decontamination process at my front door! Everyone has to leave their shoes outside, they get clean socks from here, misted from head to toe and Purell for their hands to the elbows! The good thing is...dogs don't judge me for being obsessive compulsive. WHEW!

I will indeed!

Good luck. I hope you have 18 redheads!
I wish I was ready to have another pup, but Theo is only 10 months and needs our full attention right now. But a girl can dream!

Good news today! The vet confirmed that Betty is indeed pregnant, and she is fairly certain Jenny is too. She is a younger, less experienced vet, so to be absolutely sure, Deb is taking Jenny back in on Thursday evening just to get the more experienced vet to verify. What a relief to know one is for sure, and that the other likely is. WHEW!
