Hello!

I was wondering when pregnancy will start to show?

On dec 8th, I had my 2 years old female surgically inseminated with the semen of my best male taken 6 years ago and kept at the fertilization clinic in liquid nitrogen?

Last time I had a litter of puppies was over 15 years ago and I forgot when the first signs start to show.

The Vet told me there was a 80% chance the procedure will be successful but I am starting to worry. It is going on its 4 th weeks now and still no obvious signs.

Shouldn't you know this stuff before you get your bitch pregnant?


Not that it matters at this point and I know that the answers will probaly make me sad but...
Does your bitch (and did the sire) have any health tests done?
--no, not a vet check but health tests
Were the two of them titled in some sort of venue?
Are you hoping to accomplish anything with this breeding other than getting puppies?
Do they come from healthy, tested, and proven lines?

Please have good answers, please prove my thoughts about this whole thing wrong.

I don't think there is a single reliable answer to this... bitches are different, pregnancies are different. I would think you could get an ultrasound done any time to determine if the insemination was successful.

I assume if you go to the trouble of having semen frozen, you know it's worth saving. I'm gonna give this one the benefit of the doubt.

Let's be honest- extraction, storage and implantation is probably WAY more expensive than OFAs and holtering.

OP- get your fertility doc to do an ultrasound

Really? What a lot of typing to offer no constructive response at all.

Oh yes, because 60% of the time you're constructive 100% of the time.
Oh wait...

I have NO idea what this means, but anything involving a sex panther demands repeating. RA-AWR!

I believe I suggested an ultrasound. Relying on observable signs of pregnancy or lack of signs of pregnancy can be very unreliable.

Sex Panther Cologne. 60% of the time, it works every time.

Is there an emoticon for shrugging?

In my hands the sex panther is 100%!

Now to use this in real life conversation... I know just the guy at work... He thinks he's something special!

5-6 weeks along usually. If small litter then a little later maybe.

usually around the 4th. to 6th. week you will see a clear slime occasionally showing after urination and sometimes just hangin' 'there'. It has always been a sure sign of pregnancy in my dogs.



question: what bloodlines are your dobes from?

 

[Incredibledobe]

Many breeders do an ultrasound at 28 - 30 days so they know if the bitch is pregnant and can therefore care for her properly during her pregnancy.

Hello Fraulein. Beginning about weeks 3-4 the bitch will often go off her feed for a week. At 5 weeks one can usually detect a little thickening in the abdomen. Also the vulva which was swollen during her heat will not quite return to it's pre-heat condition.
