Puppy Pool Now Open!

A puppy pool has been created in case you would like to get in on the fun of guessing the birth details (Thanks Payton!).

Check out this google doc!  Its all on the honor system to put the $1 in at some point.  If you only have the time to update the sheet with your entry now, and want to pay in later its all good.

Everything should be updated by Monday since that is the first possible whelping date.

As for my own guess, at 13 – she is either just being fed extremely well, which is true, or she is looking larger than last time because of puppies.  What do you think?

At least 12 days to go…

I’m nesting…and probably overthinking this, but if 266 human gestation days = 60 dog days and we have 12 days to go or 1/5 of the cycle to finish, that is like 266 days divided by 5 or the last 53 days for a woman.

And so, the beginning of next week when we are at least 6 days away its like 26 days away from the 9 month mark…definitely at the end of the trimester!  Okay…I’m overthinking this…

So, I’m not in the 8th month but definitely month 7.  All I think about is preparing my life for 2 months of puppies, and making room for these incredible little beings of light to come into our home.

Here is a picture taken 1 week ago. 

Breeze is doing lots of lounging!

The 3 just below were just taken today…
she is moving like she has a watermelon belly.

As of today, we are at least 12 days out…
earliest date expected is 6-4-18 and latest is 6-8-18.
Breeze’s belly seems much larger this time than last year…
Or is it my imagination?
These two pictures below were from last year the day before delivery, or whelping, the official term.
But, they call a female dog a bitch and I’ve been way over-conditioned to not use that word, so I’m slow adjusting.

Friends are setting up a pool to guess on dates/times/sex…

It will be $1 to get in…watch for forthcoming information!

 

Breeze & Ben Breeding April 6th!

You must know – I have been waiting on pins and needles to post this.  Breeze certainly appears pregnant.

We could do tests, etc., but why stress her out with a vet appointment just to satisfy my curiosity?

Breeze has all of the normal signs of tiny puppies growing inside. 

  • Increased appetite
  • Slightly enlarged nipples
  • More affectionate behavior
  • Decreased physical activity

And so, we are moving forward with this official posting and sharing the good news with family and friends.  She’s hanging out in her favorite shady spot as well as her futon a lot more.

Please feel free to pass on this information and our contact email (contactme@jaiaenbeck.com) or phone (541-259-4673) to anyone you know who is interested in creating a life-time bond with a new family member.
Thank you for helping to share!

Plans for the Next Litter

We are planning on breeding Breeze to Ben for 2018 very soon.  Watch for news!

We’ve had wonderful reports from everyone about the last litter and really appreciate hearing from you.  The pictures have been the best and I regularly share them.  Thanks.

I’m leaving on Wednesday for Zimbabwe to work and will be back mid-April.  Breeze is staying with great friends and will enjoy a change of pace, I’m sure.

I’ll let you know as the breeding unfolds.  Please share the PUPPY APPLICATION page here on the website with anyone you know who might be a good match for our extended family.  Thanks much!
