We had the ultrasound done last night. According to the tech... the second breeding is the one that took. We are expecting puppies sometime around the week of December 4th. I don't want to jinx myself so I'm keeping the number hush for now. I did get a great look at two of them "running in place"
Here is the photo - she draws an outline to help see where they are. On the screen you could see a the nose and shape of the body.
not sure how accurate the scans are sean, athenas dam was scanned at 6 and had 11 so plan for more than you think lol. its great news so pleased for you. look forward to puppy pics
Puppies are here, healthy, and quite chirpy. Four puppies, two brindles, two reds, and all females. The ultrasound lady was really good with her prediction. 4-5 puppies with a birthdate of 60 days after the middle breeding. Well 4 puppies, the 60 day mark was December 4th and the activities started at 3am on the 5th.
Two bits of advice that were shared with me before this whole thing started were:
1) The first puppy that comes out... be ready for one hell of a yell from Kaeda. 2) Once the first puppy is out instinct takes over.
For the most part this has been true accept... Puppy number one came right out. No sound, whimper, whine, nothing.
I would also say that K has the instinct of a Teenage Mom at times For the most part she tries to make the right decisions but then there are times where I just lol and say WTF. For example, this morning she pushed one of the red puppies away from her a good 10". It was clear that she was trying to get it closer but just couldn't figure out how to pull it off. So each time she reached out with her muzzle, she just pushed it farther away. Other than that, she's being quite a good mommy.

PS I'm the one who asked how many.....I'm just nosey as can be.
More is a possibility. She is really good and Ben swears by her. Like I said the live feed was awesome.

Puppies are super adorable! Congrats.
I'm happy to hear that mom is doing well and that all the pups were born healthy. I'm sure they will grow to be just as beautiful as their mother.
