how long does it take?????????

how long does it take for you guys to tell if your female took after she was bred? are they a way to tell other than waiting to see if she swells up? my two got together twice for only about one to two minuets each time. does anyone know if she should have taken or not? thanks for any help... gary woods

Gary, if I was a bettin` man, which I`m not, I`d say you`ve got little Axes on the way, but I could be wrong. I`ve always been able to tell about half way through. If you have got pups on the way, you could`ve done alot worse. It could`ve been the neighbor`s yard dog or something else.

Usually.....They "lock" up for a couple minnutes, If you didnt see them do that, you might be safe.....

she is about half way through now. she is at the point to where she maybe getting bigger or not. i hope she is, even though it would cost her, her hunt at autumn oaks. what could i call them skeeter my little hatchets?(ha ha) or little choppin hatchets... gary woods

Choppin Axe

That is what happened with Hank and Molly. She took the last time that we bred them and 62 days later, out popped 10 Walker puppies.

We really couldn't tell with Molly until she was about 1/2-3/4 there. She's a really stock, deep chested female anyways and it's hard to tell when she's bred until she really starts swelling up.

EVERYTHING happens for a reason.

Axe

Usually the pair will lock up from 20 to 30 minutes.

Normal gestation is 63 days.(9 weeks)
I usually notice a little pot belly at 5 weeks.

I have had females show a false pregnancy, put on weight, nipples drop, etc. but no pups.


A blood test at vets can confirm.

Good luck.

I believe you have it, Gary. Small axes are hatchets. So I guess that is what you will have. LOL

If a female we had bred is not obviously showing at 30 days I take her in for a blood test at the vet. THey spin the blood down and put it on a test that looks like a human preg test you get at the drugstore, except you put blood on it instead of urine. It's not sensitive enough to sho earlier than about 30 days, and if they are going to have much of a litter they are usually showing by then. We've got a female here did an AI on the 16th, she'll be going in a week from friday for her test. You can also have an ultrasound done.
