underfoot Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 sorry brain just working. Yes she has 8 nipples and raised 12 previously. Other I own have 10 nipples so she is lacking in the amount of nipples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Baggins Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 Thought I would post some photos with 2 weeks for miss willow to go..... underfoot has Miss Willow only got 8 nipples?? Yes she does why? Interesting that a big dog which is likely to have large litters only has 8 nipples and a Cav which will usually have 1 to 6 pups has 11 to 12 nipples.

Yes I agree. All her family have 8 (European lines) but my others who are not European have 10 nipples each. Something I might look some more into as I did not really think about it till now.

goldielover Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 hhmmm, my girls both have 9 nipples. From what i hear from other golden breeders 8 to 10 is common, yet they often have larger litters too. Some pics of Ellie with 1 week to go (taken a few days ago now): Definitely carrying them lower this time (this is her 3rd litter so i guess everything is sagging! :laugh: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopuppy04 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Naww look at Ellie!! How many are you betting on GL?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldielover Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I think she's got 7 or 8 in there, so betting on 8 LOL. Funny girl - she hates the heat usually, but is out there sunbaking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo Baggins Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 That is weird BB!! Kinta has 8 and tahli and Zara 10& 11 respectively! Weird huh! Now there is a variation within breed and related dogs as well I assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leopuppy04 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 GL smelly looks sooo much like her mum :). As for the sun among, kinta is doing the opposite, sunning her belly under the aircon!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadbury Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 :) Better let her know that she has to fit in with your busy weekend......lol I bet she will disrupt you plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldielover Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Sounds like they're all resting up for the big event . Smelly seems to look more and more like Jazzy as time goes on... she migrated from the sun this morning to the aircon. She did manage to get up a few times to entertain her puppy people, but for the most part she made them come to her. No more visitors now though!
