Having bred only one litter so far I am no expert by any means, but I'd think that if your sure of her first "tie" date, then an xray any sooner than a week before her whelp date wouldn't be as helpful because the pups bones wouldn't be calcified enough to show up clearly on the xray. Have YOU bred litters before or is this your first also?
I've have bred one litter and it was with a much larger female. I plan on breeding my current female in May (hopefully). She is about 6 lbs and I am sure it will be a whole new experiance for me. I am both very anxious & excited and a little nervous with her being much smaller than my other female. |
