I haven't seen anyone itch on my end either, not once and i have been sitting with them for 5 hours straight doing homework. Also I read a thread about how a vet's x-ray saw 4 pups and it turned out to have 12 pups! You may have a little surprise in there. (x-rays aren't 100% accurate sometimes) Rosie weiged 6 lbs on her last date we bred her with the stud. I forgot to ask them to weigh her at the vet the other day, but she's got to be at least 2 lbs heavier for sure. Any signs from your female that she's ready? I havn't seen anything really from Rose, lots of kicks coming from her belly though.
