Confirmed Preganancy!!

We just got back from a very exciting visit to the vet's office.  We have been waiting with hope and anticipation for the ultrasound that would confirm Juliet's pregnancy.  If you have been following our blogs over the fall you know that we had two breedings that resulted in non-pregnancies.  Both Cappi and Lacy were breed this fall and neither one became pregnant.

We have recently bred two other girls, Juliet and Velvet, and have been waiting to get assurance that they were indeed pregnant.  These girls are both completely health tested.  They have passed their tests with flying colors, as have the studs we used with them.  Juliet's hip tests put her in the 90%.  The stud we used, Mojo, also has good hips (70%).  They have been tested for Thyroid as well and both passed.  Velvet has also been fully tested and passed her hip tests with a 60% and the stud we used, Seeker, has 90% in his hip scores.  The puppies from both litters will be very healthy!

We have been confident about Velvet due to the progesterone tests that we did while breeding her.  We didn't do a final progesterone test for Juliet once we bred her after she reached 3.4.  Dogs ovulate once they hit 5.0.  We have regretted not getting that final test.

Today we had an ultrasound done to find out if Juliet is indeed pregnant, and if so, how many puppies we would see.  The answer is yes she is indeed pregnant and will deliver shortly after Christmas!  Yay!  We also saw at least six puppies and so we know that we have at least six, and possibly eight or nine puppies on their way.

We are grateful to Jennica, Juliet's guardian, for bringing her down to the vet and for taking such good care of her.  I know that Jennica and her family will share our excitement about this litter.  

We already have four of these puppies allocated.  If you are interested in a chocolate Australian Labradoodle who will have great conformation and temperament, contact us soon and we will be glad to put you on our puppy list once we receive your application and deposit.
