Meggie is almost ready

We have had a progesterone test earlier this week to determine when Meggie is fertile and ready to breed.  She will need to hit level 5 before she has ovulated.  Once she ovulates she will have a few days before she is ready to be bred and her eggs can become fertilized.  The test she took on Tuesday placed her at .02 and so we are going to retest her this Friday to find out if she will be ready to breed over the weekend.

There is a lot of science as well as art involved in breeding great dogs.  We want to do our best to make sure that we are producing the best Australian Labradoodles we can in terms of health, temperament, and aesthetic beauty.  The puppies from this litter will be small mediums or large minis.  They should have red to apricot colored coats, and they will have beautiful fleece coats.  

Scarlett is almost ready for her ultrasound to definitively confirm her pregnancy and to give us a first sense of how many puppies she is carrying.   That will be a very exciting day for us here at Evergreen Manor Labradoodles.  We always enjoy knowing that there is evidence of the work we have done and we love to tell the families who are on the puppy list when the pregnancy is confirmed.  We have an appointment for the ultrasound on Tuesday May 29th.  Look for an email that evening if you are one of our buyers for this litter!

We will keep you all updated about where things stand with the breedings and with the ultrasounds.
