Phoenix had her ultrasound late this afternoon.
We had no doubts that she is pregnant, as her belly is already starting to swell very noticeably, and she is starting to eat more to feed those hungry little developing puppies.
We are happy to report a preliminary count of SIX or SEVEN puppies!! They are a very good size and look very healthy.With pups of almost six weeks' gestation you can actually see some details on the ultrasound. We saw little waving feet, beating hearts, and tiny faces - too cute! It's actually a bit harder to count them when they're this big, as they won't all fit on the screen at once and some might be blocking others. But Dr. G. is pretty sure it's either six or seven, and he's usually almost spot-on. (Very possibly eight, but not likely.) We had lots of guesses for both six and seven, so it'll be down to the closest date/time to determine a winner of our contest!
Indeed, the countdown is now on as Phoenix's due date approaches in roughly three weeks.
We don't know yet what sex or colour these pups will be, but we are now accepting up to five deposits on this litter. (We are expecting to keep two of the pups ourselves as potential breeders.) If you're interested in one of Phoenix's pups, sign up now! The order in which we receive deposits will determine the order in which puppies will be allocated to families. They'll be ready to go home around May long weekend, just in time for spring fun.In
