This is some exciting news! Misty, our Miniature Schnauzer, bred with Bart the Red Poodle today. Woo hoo! I am so excited.
Misty came into heat last week. I was quite surprised with that, since I was expecting Coco to come into heat first. Since Coco was so late, I just expected Misty would be late too. Oh well, it is just so hard to plan these things!
At this point, I am wondering if Coco just skipped a heat. (It does happen). I am now hoping that Misty's fertile pheromones will encourage Coco to follow her example!
Misty's pregnancy will not be confirmed for another month. I will let you know if there are any early indications (like morning sickness). Based on the first date of the tie, July 28, the due date for our Miniature Schnoodle litter is Sept 29. If whelping occurs as hoped, the litter would be 8 weeks on Nov 23. Please understand that a successful tie between dogs does not guarantee conception....But it is a crucial event....and it does give us every reason to be
hopeful!
Update: First breeding July 28. Second Breeding July 31
So the due date is either Sept 29 or Oct 2.
