Knocked up Nellie

We have a breeding agreement with Hops' breeder where we agreed to have two litters.  This is an interesting business model and one that I like because it has mama dogs being pets rather than breeders in kennels. 

So we bred Hops about 4 weeks ago and we were pretty sure she was "knocked up" due to her udder development, her fatigue, her looking wider and her wanting to be close to us.  But then in the last few days, her stamina has increased and her udders have seemed to decrease!  Now we are concerned that she might have had a false pregnancy which recently happened with some of the other females who used the same male dog for a stud as Hops used.

At this point time will tell.  We will get an xray at the beginning of December to check for number of pups.  If she is pregnant, she will have pups in mid December.

Stay tuned.
