Shelby's birthday is June 13, 2009 so she was about a year old when she went into heat. I talked to CKC beforehand and they said dogs can have pups after they are a year old. The pregnancy was kind of a shock, my male dog didn't want to leave her alone, but she didn't let him bother her to the point that we thought she got pregnant. So I ended up having my brother take a look at her and he said she's definetly pregnant, and about a week later, the pups were born. I read that the risks involved with the first litter dying, is from if they do not eat well, or get too cold, during the first few days after they are born, but they are eating like piggy's, and gaining weight just fine.
I feel really dumb about this but Shelby isn't having bloody mucus from her bowels, when I went to feed her today, the Ceaser food I've been giving her, I noticed the red colored slimy gravy in it, that is what she expelled in her bowels yesterday. Go ahead laugh, lol. |
Wouldn't think of laughing, I'm glad that that was all it is/was. Most reputable registries such as CKC Canadian Kennel club do not recommend breeding a dog until 18 months and or the second heat cycle. So I'm assuming you mean the Continental Kennel club.
I wish you the best with your litter, and I'm sorry to hear that you are yourself unwell.
Just a reminder if she went into heat in June, she m ight go into heat again anywhere from 6mths on. say December 2010. You want to make sure she doesn't get pregnant again so soon after her first litter.
