I just got Starr to eat a real meal :D. Her morning sickness has been very bad she hasn't wanted to eat much this pregnancy :(. She's had all kinds of cravings. She ate over a half of a can of food some french fries and some treats :). Hope the morning sickness is behind us. ;)

It finally came it is perfect. I just used it and Drum roll............... I heard heartbeats :D they were strong and fast. I am so happy I know there is at least 4 or 5 at most 6 or 7 :D. I am on cloud 9 It worked great I found the heartbeats right away :D I recommend this to all breeders it is...

Looks like it's not gonna get here until tomorrow :( Tomorrow I am gonna be posted to the door ALL day until it gets here :) when I see that big truck pull up infront of my house I am going to go nuts. :D It feels like Christmas morning and I am waiting to open gifts :D

By either Wednesday or Thursday my fetal doppler will be hear :D I am so excited to hear heartbeats. But to keep me busy I have been going over my contracts and applications improving them every year there is a new question you have to ask before selling someone a puppy. So I updated ALL my...

I just bought a stethoscope for $10 and a fetal doppler for $50.00 brand new :). If you are wondering what a fetal doppler is I will tell you it is a portable ultrasound machine that can hear fetal heartbeats. It is way cheaper than taking a dog to the vet for an ultrasound and 100% less...

We are not doing an ultrasound. The vet finally got back to us the price is $400+ we are not going to do it because the ultrasound isn't reliable for litter size. It is only good for telling you if she's pregnant. But we will still do x-rays which are cheaper and more accurate and can tell you...

Here are her 5 week pictures. Does she look bigger? Countdown to puppies begin now :D 3 weeks until her x-ray 4 weeks until their due date ;) YIPPEE we are finally in the middle of the pregnancy :D

Hi everyone we are entering week 5. Starr is growing her stomach is very big. She can no longer eat big meals she has to eat smaller meals throughout the day. She is very lazy and when she finally gets up it only to dig around in her blankets. She is having some trouble getting comfortable while...

How's everything any improvements? :(:confused:

We were worried about Starr because our vet kept telling us she couldn't find any puppies the bleeding could've been from her absorbing the litter. We were worried because she was losing weight didn't really want to eat. So we called another vet talked to them they say it is very normal for dogs...

I got the results back drum roll please.............. Nothing is wrong she is 100% healthy not one problem kidneys were healthy and working normally. Heartworm test negative. Urine test normal. :D She might be bleeding because she keeps licking herself. So we will watch her and stop her from...

HUGE update I know why the vet couldn't feel puppies it was too early.:eek: They wouldn't be able to feel until April 3rd that's the earliest I can get her palpated. So I am counting from the first tie once again. Wish I would have looked at my calendar before the apt. :rolleyes: So she is 4...

Just got back they ran a lot of test. I have to wait until tomorrow for the results hopefully nothing to serious they also said they couldn't really feel puppies they could feel something they think she isn't 4 weeks along maybe 3 weeks along so I will be counting from her last tie and hope that...

Thank you. We are so shocked that this happened. We had mom checked for everything she came back clear not one problem. Dad was also checked he was super healthy also. One of the breeders in the breed club we belong to dog had a UTI also and was put on antibiotics she went on to have a healthy...

I am going to make this a quick up date. We are taking Starr to the vet today we think she might have a UTI :( So the vets are going to check her put her on some anitbotics to clear the infection and she will be back to her happy healthy self. We are hoping it's nothing serious because she is...

Thank you I hope this will be very educational for people who are curious about breeding or expecting their first litter and don't know what to expect. I am hoping she will have uneventful pregnancy and whelp. With dachshunds it can either be really good or it can be really bad. If you have to...

Did she have the puppies? How many were on the x-ray? Mine is expecting a litter this will be her 3rd litter. The waiting is killing me :)

Starr's 3rd week of pregnancy. She has gotten really big, morning sickness has begun. She went off her food so I have been feeding chicken and rice and homemade dog treats that she loves. She wants a lot of attention now isn't able to jump as well as she used to. We are now stopping her from...

This is the second week of Starr's pregnancy. Nothing much happening no sickness, she is a little lazy at times but nothing major. She still jumps and runs but not for long. She is getting a little wider it really isn't that noticeable. Can you tell or am I just going crazy?

Starr during week 1 fertilization is happening. Not much behavior changes. She is still doing her regular activities like running and jumping will stop her as she progresses. She still eats adult food will not switch her until 5 weeks in. She was at the stud's house for a week they tied for the...
