Puppy Princess

So, after yet ANOTHER fake pregnancy scare, Afrika Bella graced us with one perfect puppy. 

She is the luckiest thing in the world. 8 teats, all hers!

If all goes well...

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

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

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.
