Hi Ulli,

I understand about your less postings. I am also relieved to hear that all is well with you there.

Frisco is wonderful. He is high energy in a great way and has taught me so much. Heidi did a remarkable job with him.

I have not bred him yet. I am hoping to find a compatible Sch1 bitch. Any suggestions?

Is your avatar a picture of one of your puppies? Do you have a litter available now?

Renee
My apology to germlover (would like to know the meaning behind that handle!) for hijacking this thread.

DON'T PANIC BUT    IF SHE DOESN'T DO SOMETHING AFTER THE TIME PERIOD GOES TO 2 DAYS PAST   THE VET
WILL NEED TO INDUCE...

MY EXPERIENCE ONCE WITH MY SABLE BITCH WAS A DEAD PUP WAS IN THE WAY OF THE OTHERS MAKING EXIT...HAD TO DO A      C SECTION ON HER....NEVER ANOTHER PROBLEM SINCE..THAT WAS 9 YEARS AGO.

BUT VET KNEW IF SHE WENT OVER SO MANY HOURS AND SHE DID START HER CONTRACTIONS...YOUR GIRL SHOULD START CONTRACTIONS   SOON....THEN WATCH   IF NO PUPS IN THREE HOURS   CONTACT VET TO TAKE HER IN ....HE WILL THEN ASSESS .......

DO NOT PANIC..MY VET...SAID TO ME......ALL YOU WOMEN GET ALL UP TIGHT...HIS WIFE IS A NURSE AND SHE DOES ALSO....HE SAID.......LET NATURE WORK....THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH ROSIE....BUT SHE DID GO TWO DAYS PST THE NORM....     SURE ENOUGH ......SHE WAS FINE BUT VET DID CHECK HER FOR ME.....HER DISCHARGE WAS CLEAR AND NO PROBLEMS......LET NATURE WORK....BUT BE VIGILANT.....

Davren; I imagine Germlover comes from the word German Shepherd, not germs, lol, but I could be wrong!

if the bitch's temp has dropped.. she was panting and not eating.. and now she is eating and resting.. then there is something wrong.. she needs to have a section probably..

I hope all is well and you have some puppies by now.

by Davren on 21 October 2009 - 23:10

Red Sable: I did not think of that as a possibility. My brain went to the scientific realm and I thought of microbiologist! Haha...maybe we will find out from germlover soon.

When you take her to the vet get a prog test done if it is low then you know when she should whelp or should be whelping and then you will know for sure and if she needs a C section you can organise it.

Thats interesting carebear, I did not know that - will bear in mind for future reference... Any news Germlover?

I hope that all goes well for mom and pups. Sometimes they can temp drop early before whelp, but as everyone else said: if you aren't comfortable, get her to the vet. No one ever suffered for being overly cautious at this point in a dog's pregnancy.

As per Davren's comment:

the wide span can lead to different gestational ages in the offspring. It might not be too big a deal with GSD (and other large breeds). In small breeds it can make a big difference in viability.

It can lead to issues in GSDs as well. The "over-ripe" puppies can have placental detatchment while in utero which causes death of the pup; or the ones from the later breeding can be born premature. A few days doesn't make much difference, but a week or more can lead to loss of pups due to too great a difference in developemental points when the female goes into labor.
