Post by: BluSteel CaneCorso on December 11, 2006, 12:59:26 AM: Ok can you tell I am getting excited? LOL I built the whelping pen and did not realize the others were NOT 8 foot long! LOL I guess they were 6x4 but this one is now 8x4. I put it in my dinning room this time and the wire pen I have wraped around it perfectly, just need to get a couple whatchmacallits for the end to secure it, gate will be wonderful!

Post by: BluSteel CaneCorso on December 12, 2006, 07:54:59 PM: Is it Miss Piggy??? LOL

Title: Re: Ch Jordi X BluSteels Nika
Post by: BluSteel CaneCorso on December 12, 2006, 10:24:37 PM: Well Magic always looked like she was going to bust, she is a smaller dog. If you look at Nika from above she barely looks pregnant so it is real hard to guess. Also she still has 9-11 days of growing!
Title: Re: Ch Jordi X BluSteels Nika
Post by: turkalurk on December 12, 2006, 11:16:06 PM: She is pretty big, so it can be deceiving! I guess 10, if I know Jordi !!!! Plus milk bags are pretty full for a week and a half left. Go get an x ray, then you'll know what to expect!! Lee
Title: Re: Ch Jordi X BluSteels Nika
Post by: BluSteel CaneCorso on December 13, 2006, 03:17:01 AM: I asked the vet about that today, she said it can show the pups but not all of them so there really is no point. For example she said the looked at a dog and one of the vets said she saw 3 pups, one vet said she saw a 4th head but could not find the body so they were expecting 4 pups. She had 8 so yeah what's the point. If it were acurate I would do it for sure. Just have to wait.
Title: Re: Ch Jordi X BluSteels Nika
Post by: turkalurk on December 13, 2006, 06:07:11 AM: Well I am 2 for 2 on my last two xrays. I would rather know a head of time if I was in for 10-14 pups, as opposed to 6 or 7. Trust me, if you wait til around 53-55 days, then all the bones will show up. You may miss one or two, but atleast you will have an idea of what to expect. I do all my bitches, and have only been really wrong once. Canyon had 16, I could only count 11 on the xray. But overall I am satisfied with theoutcomes. Something to think about. Also, not all Vets are real good ones!!!! Good luck, Lee
Title: Re: Ch Jordi X BluSteels Nika
Post by: canecorsonancy on December 13, 2006, 10:46:34 AM: If you wait till around day 63, you'll know the number for sure. No need for an x-ray. They will come out for sure ;D
I never do x-ray or ultrasound. I just like surprices :D
Title: Re: Ch Jordi X BluSteels Nika
Post by: BluSteel CaneCorso on December 13, 2006, 02:36:12 PM: Well I like surprises also but with this being her first litter I just worry about things going wrong, will they all come out ok, what if one is stuck, you know just the normal worries. I might have it done then a couple days before she is due.
Title: Re: Ch Jordi X BluSteels Nika
Post by: canecorsonancy on December 13, 2006, 02:49:35 PM: She will be just fine. Just tell your vet that you have a delivery coming so that he is available in case of a problem. But why should there be a problem? She's a Magic puppy. Those pups will just fall out without a problem ;D
Title: Re: Ch Jordi X BluSteels Nika
Post by: turkalurk on December 13, 2006, 04:49:58 PM: Well Nancy when you only have 1 litter a year, then you don't really have to worry. Try having 2litters on the same day!!! It is nice to know what you are dealing with. JMO Lee
Title: Re: Ch Jordi X BluSteels Nika
Post by: canecorsonancy on December 13, 2006, 06:18:38 PM: Pete is not having 2 litters at the same day ;)
But 1 litter a year or 10 litters a year does not make a difference to me. Chances of a delivery not going as usual are the same on each litter.
I just don't like running to vets with pregant females. Vets are more experienced in c-sections than natural births. Some prefer to recommend a c-section even if not really needed. Just to be sure ::) Only yesterday evening a CC delivered 10 very tiny pups by c-section, 60 days after the first mating (and this mating was really much too early). And this vet recommended this c-section a week ago already!
Now I know Pete's vet is not like this at all. But I just prefer to let nature surprise us and not put the females through the stress of an x-ray ;)
And believe me. If you missed several litters due to empty females and finally have a female pregnant, all you want is for everything to be ok with all the pups. Even more than when you have more litters in a shorter time.
Title: Re: Ch Jordi X BluSteels Nika
Post by: turkalurk on December 13, 2006, 07:19:57 PM: I don't know what doing xrays is like there, but I just put my bitch on the table and they take a shot. There is no stress involved when I go. Plus I didn't mean anything abot C-Sections??? I hate them, and have only had to do one, becuase pup died inside bitch because she wouldn't push. Lee
Title: Re: Ch Jordi X BluSteels Nika
Post by: BluSteel CaneCorso on December 14, 2006, 04:17:02 AM: I am just impatient, a bit worried and anxious!!!! I will wait then! Thx everyone.
Title: Re: Ch Jordi X BluSteels Nika
Post by: turkalurk on December 14, 2006, 04:28:51 AM: Once again. We are talking about cultural differences. In the US, vets are on every corner. When I get an xray, it is once, and once only. An xray tech wears a vest because they are exposed to many many xrays. 1 xray every year insn't gonna efffect anyone or any dog or pup. I can't really understand your stories???? When I xray my bitch, I can see her whole insides. If you wait after 53 days, then the bones are calcified, and will show up on an xray. Your vet obviously xrayed way too soon if he saw nothing, then 5 came out. Another thing, when I xray for number of pups, the bitch is on her side, not on her back. Therefor it is in a natural position I train all my dogs in. This is the position I use when the vet examines one of my serious dogs. The info I am giving is actual scientific knowledge, not guess work. Calcification shows up best after 50 days. This info can be verified by any vet. Please explain to me why the xray is bad for the pups?? You would xray if pup was limping right? Do you do early hip xrays? Same xrays, what makes the ones at 55 days of life different than say 120 days?? Don't anyone get all excited, this is simply breeders discussing their views. Lee

I don't think Pete agrees with this ;D
Title: Re: Ch Jordi X BluSteels Nika
Post by: BluSteel CaneCorso on December 14, 2006, 03:26:32 PM: You are right Nancy, I don't use the vets in town, don't care for most of them simply becuase they are there for the money. I have 2, actually 3 country vets in 3 different directions of me and they are still a few miles down the road but the one I really like that has worked with my dogs and puppies and just loves them all is the one that just told me about the dog they x-rayed and guessed 3-4 to have 8. Maybe it was done too soon, I did not asked that and maybe done at 56 days the picture is that much better, never tried that but I do prefer to work with caring vets!!! Not long now, getting closer!!!! LOL
Title: Re: Ch Jordi X BluSteels Nika
Post by: turkalurk on December 14, 2006, 09:33:55 PM: I agree, that is where I miss counting when I'm wrong ;d !!!

Post by: Zeep on December 15, 2006, 01:29:05 AM: Puppy Breath! Send me a jar-full, won't you? I'm going to give Ralphie a bit more time before I allow myself to succumb to puppy-fever. OOOh - but how tempting when you see a half-sibling having a litter.

No worries - Nika is a big girl. I did not specifically check that day, I can lay bets that her pelvis is as big as her head. Hey - who needs a formal dining room when you can have PUPPIES! I am sure that carpet will be nice and comfortable to sleep on. Although, that pen is big enough where you could bed down in there and take part in the puppy pile.
Title: Re: Ch Jordi X BluSteels Nika
Post by: BluSteel CaneCorso on December 15, 2006, 02:38:49 AM: Stucking Stuffers! Puppy breath in a jar, that would sell especially to all those people that are tired of telling thier spouse, NO, NO, NO to a another dog!!!! LOL
Title: Re: Ch Jordi X BluSteels Nika
Post by: BluSteel CaneCorso on December 22, 2006, 07:06:14 PM: Finally they are here, she started a day early, the night of the 20th and went until 6am the 21st! We have 6 blue males, 4 blue females and 1 black brindle!~ I thought for sure I would have more dark pups then blue! They all look really nice and I can't wait to see them grow now, LOL first I could not wait for the birth now I can't wait to see them grow!!!

What made you pick Viper over the rest? Just wanting to know for my own selfish reasons :) :) Lee
Title: Re: Ch Jordi X BluSteels Nika
Post by: Irena on February 21, 2007, 01:48:39 AM: nice looking puppies, it'll be intresting to see how they'll look older
Title: Re: Ch Jordi X BluSteels Nika
Post by: BluSteel CaneCorso on February 21, 2007, 04:24:14 AM: Hey Lee, I choose her because I liked her head the best, the one with the white strip also had a very nice head but I just hate that white! I know you should not choose by color but I like what I like. She also moves nicely, I liked her shorter back, just picked my favorite of the girls. The other girl I have pictured here I think will have too short a muzzle and too undershot due to that muzzle. She is really cute but not what I want.
