Thanks Rebanne, very excited to say the least

Very pleased to announce that our girl is expecting.

Hi, My Girl has been Prog tested since day 7 of her season and her levels have  risen very slowly . She was with  our boy every day for a period of time and he showed no interest until Day 23 when we had a mating She was Prog tested the day before and was at 53nmol. Are we too late. Would love to hear others experiences especially highest Prog level at time of mating that resulted in a successful litter.

Thanks Rebanne, I just tried to down load it , but could not. I am on my iPhone .

4 babies born today - 3 girls and 1 very handsome boy .I cannot upload a picture due to size and I don't know how to make it smaller.

After the 2 nd Prog test , the vet assured me that with a level of 1 that she was definitely in season but I was sceptical after ceasing of  other signs .Thats why I was asking what the prog levels of a bitch not in season would be .

Yes , I did think this also. 

So confused right now. I thought my girl was in season and had her Prog tested. She tested at 1 and then four days later tested again at 1. After this she seemed to have ceased any signs of being in season so I stopped Prog testing her. Fast forward 4 weeks and she has definitely increased in size . She has always run with my stud dog so now I am wondering if she is indeed expecting. I definitely did not see a mating. Hence my question re Prog levels when not in season

Pretty sure our girl is expecting, no ultrasound but her girth is increasing Lol

Hi, Can anyone tell me what the progesterone level would be  in a bitch not season .Thanks in advance. Cheers Sharon

Hopefully we will have a litter of Jacks due 12th of September. Bitch was progesterone tested and was at 20 on Monday with a good tie mating on Tuesday. Unfortunately we have not had another mating so hopefully the one mating is successful.

Thankyou so much ????

Hi All, I am looking for a place to buy a show suit for my 11yr old daughter. We are in Tasmania. Cheers Sharon

Thankyou Blinkblink that was fabulous????????Do you show Jacks

For a rough or broken Jack I would use my fingers, but I am a purist when it comes to hand stripping. Start with a dirty dog and take out the bulk of the long blowing coat with your fingers. Pull the hairs straight out in the dir cation that they grow. Use a nice straight action. Hold your hand steady and pull straight back without twisting or flicking your arm or wrist. This will help you with fatigue and the dog with comfort. Don't get frazzled. Make a plan of how you are going to move over the dog and off you go, a tiny bunch of hairs at a time. You are aiming to pull the longer scraggly outer coat down and maintain the short under hairs. It seems like a big job gut once you're in the zone, it's quite relaxing. Some people close fitting rubber gloves help with grip. Once you have the bulk of the coat off bath and dry the dog. That will assist with removing only the undercoat that is ready to fall out. Now you have a clean dry dog it should be obvious which hairs to pull that you missed pre bath. Tidy those out and then neaten with thinning shears around the feet, along the turn of the coat down the back of the front leg, around the knee area, and the turn of the coat around the throat. tidy the shape of the tail with the thinners. You're aiming for a neat all over sort of a 'trim' with no part of the coat looking particularly bushier than any other. A brand like Roseline would be adequate for your thinners. Single sided with a straight blade and a thinning blade. You can get them online from Petnetwork and the like.

Remember they are a rugged little terrier so neat without being pedantic. I would avoid straight scissors.

Thanks Mindura, That is helpful. Any help is appreciated . What is the brand of your equipment and what shampoo and other products do you use. Cheers Sharon
