    When Is The Due Date?

    in Breeders Community

    Posted

    63 days from ovulation. So if you weren't progesterone testing and don't know when she actually ovulated, and you had matings over a week long period then like OsoSwift said she could be due anytime in that week period.

    Normally if you don't prog test you would just go 63 days from the first mating as an approximate date, but with that many matings over a long period of time going by that could be pretty misleading as far as a due date goes. So, roughly anywhere from 63 days after the first mating to 63 days after the second mating, plus or minus a few days either side...

    They state that they breed to the NRC(A )COE, so I would say that they are registered - I doubt that a non-registered breeder would even know what the NRC(A) was. I also know the person who has done their website, and she wouldn't have done it if they weren't registered, I don't think.

    The breeders directories that are listed on Canine Association websites are not complete lists of all registered breeders, only listings of those breeders who have paid a fee to be listed, so not being listed on the Dogs West website certainly doesn't suggest that they aren't registered :)

    Do you mean that Luna has a less impressive head type in that it (to me) it doesn't seem as broad as some of the others?

    Spot on! :D She has the breadth of muzzle, but not quite as broad in the skull as white and orange - she is still very pretty with a lovely head, but orange and white will be more striking, which judges will like in the show ring :)

    How do the white and orange girl compare to Luna Little? Do they have a more sound head type AND body or are they more in the head only?

    In my opinion Luna has the best front feet in the litter, with the shortest and most arched toes, which is something I'm trying to improve on - so keeping the best feet is a big plus for me. She also has the best front angulation of the three girls, best upper arm length and shoulder layback. Not that the other two are poor in that area, but Luna is the best of them. She probably also has the best croup of the three.

    Comparatively, Orange and white have stronger headtypes and more outgoing "look at me" attitudes, both of which will be good for the showring :)

    This was incredibly hard for me - I spent the first 6 weeks becoming emotionally invested in the white girl.

    Purple is not necessarily the puppy that you would pick if you were looking for a show dog - white and orange are those two girls, they are total show picks. Purple is smaller and with a less impressive headtype.... but beautiful body construction.

    In the end I had to recognise that purple best provided what we had hoped to achieve with this mating, in terms of improving what we have and giving us what we need to go on with.

    Both white and orange are off to show homes, whereas we will be unlikely to ever show Luna - I just don't have the heart for showing anymore - so I'm happy that those two will get to strut their stuff in the ring. In the end - I couldn't go past her overall construction, she is just what we wanted to get and what we need :)
