If all goes well...

... there might be a litter +/- 24 August 2013.

That is if Miss Bella does not have a Pseudo Pregnancy again!

La Monte Vegter & Afrika Bella

USA pup.

I just love it when owners send me photo's of their pups. This is Bielie. He is a Lemmer/Katryn puppy and lives in Port Townsend, USA. Ain't he gorgeous?

I tried to flip these two to the right side, but it just won't... You can still see what a beaut he is though!

False alarm!

I am very sad to advise you that Bella is having a false pregnancy. She was supposed to have her puppies last week, but we became concerned after she showed no sign of being close to giving birth.  She had / still has milk and a huge tummy, but the scan showed nothing. 

False pregnancy, or pseudo pregnancy, is a term used to denote a common condition in a non-pregnant female dog that is showing symptoms of pregnancy, lactation, or nursing, without producing puppies. The affected female dog shows these symptoms about a month or two after her estrus (heat) is over. A hormonal imbalance is thought to play a central role in affected female dogs. Depending on the severity of problem, the symptoms may last for more than a month.

Let's hope for the best for next time!

Funny.

Bessie.

We decided to keep a black female from the last litter. So... Meet Bessie, the youngest member of our family!

Bliksem and Daisy

Boerboel news.

Yes, just like that, all the puppies have found new homes.

We decided to keep a black bitch and will be adding her to the family. I will post photo's of her soon.

Afrika Bella was also mated with Sumsare Lemmer, and if all went well, we will have another litter in March 2013.

Should you be interested in a puppy, please email me at heidi@clubtravel.co.za to avoid disappointment.

Have a great week!
