Hopefully, Bella did not end up "preggers" with just one accidental breeding, especially if you have issues with terminating pregnancies in dogs in an emergent situation...praying that wont become a decision you are faced with-mommas health or the pregnancy.....as far as the breeding pair go, they seem like "a perfect couple" but of course, it is what is in their genetic predisposition that will determine the outcome of the puppies. You have about 6 weeks to absorbe everything you can get your hands on about caring for the pregnant female, nutrition for pregnancy, meds that can not be given to pregnant females, whelping puppies, pre and post natal vet care for momma and babies, xrays, blood work on mom and if the situation arises, how to feed (including tube feeding)and care for orphaned puppies. Be sure you have funds set aside for emergencies during the pregnancy.....probably around $3000.00 - $5000.00 will cover an emergent c-section at an emergency clinic.....get a lot of sleep over the next 2 months!!! You wont get much sleep after those babies come if there are any problems.....welcome to the world of breeding!!! Praying for an uneventful and successful outcome! You can have an ultrasound done as early as 3-4 weeks and a vet that is experienced at reading ultrasounds will be able to tell you if she is "preggers".
