Eva went for her checkup and puppy count today. At her stage of pregnancy, we opted for an x-ray for an accurate picture of what we have.
We are saddened by the news that she has only one, large puppy in this litter. While this isn't exactly a failed breeding, a singleton pregnancy is an extremely unusual occurrence for our kennel, and fairly uncommon in dogs. We discussed our birth plan with our Veterinarian and we should be expecting our independent soul by the 1st of February. In the event of any trouble with the pup being too large, we have an emergency plan in place to keep Eva safe! Her previous pregnancy had a very desirable outcome, so we have high hopes that this is an anomaly.
With this, keeping our clients in mind, we will be making plans to breed our other female, Lucy, as soon as she is in heat. In addition, we will be making a new breeding plan for Eva. If all goes well with this pregnancy and she is in good health, we should be able to breed back later in the year.
Breeding dogs can be an unpredictable biological process, and we have been so blessed all these years that we have had no real complications. We hope to get back on track and pray for a healthy outcome! As always, we will keep the updates coming. When this single pup makes it's way to the world, we will get to see who we have!
We are surprised by the news, but will keep our kennel progressing with future litters as soon as possible. Both females in our kennel offer wonderful color and personality, and are also extremely proud of each of our males. Updates to come! Make sure you follow us if you don't already.
