Breeder Talk
  • Jennie, thinking about y'all…hope all is good..

  • Yes, thinking of you all and hoping all is going well. My goodness - you are getting quite the wait. But what is it that is said? "Good things come to those who wait".

  • Well the news here is ….................................................NOTHING :D...

    She ate breakfast and lunch, and is behaving VERY normally... The only slightly exciting thing is she does have a very small amount of colostrum/milk in the bottom 4 nipples, and while Kylie has said this is a good sign, and she may whelp in the next 24 hours, somehow Im not sure Ochre is going to be 'obeying' that rule :rolleyes:;):p...

    Day 61 today, and I feel like I have been 'on hold' for weeks now !!!

    So much for the 2 pieces of advice Ive had... 1) Most B girls go around day 60..., and 2) Most B girls with largish litters usually go early... YEAH right !!! Ochre obviously listened to both of those, and thought, "I will teach you Mum, for getting your hopes up far too early" :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    Waiting, waiting, waiting :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    Oh forgot to say, that the whelping box is now done... MR Saba has done a really good job, I think its the best one he has made :-). Will take a pic of it, (and Ochre, cos the babies will still be inside !!!), tomorrow and put it up...

  • Oooooooooh - tomorrow we want to have puppy-pics! :D

    Best wishes for the birth from Germany, too :)

  • So excited for you. =) Hoping all goes well!!

  • The wait is nearly over - can't wait to see the new puppy pics! Good and happy thoughts to Ochre - bet she is also ready to have it done!

  • Now the whelping box is ready - (if she approves!) Ochre may 'get on with it'.

    Never believe all you've been told!!!!!

    I think you've got us all anxious - I click on every day hoping for the good news! (and photos!)

  • Come on Ochre…

  • Still waiting, waiting, waiting…

    BUT... Things might just be starting, although Im REALLY trying NOT to get my hopes up :rolleyes:...

    She woke me this am with a bit of scratching around in the bedroom. She is VERY sooky, and watches my EVERY move... She only picked at breakfast, BUT ate all her lunch, (its 5.45pm here at the moment)...

    She usually lies in front of the heater, but today all she has done is sleep VERY deeply, and has been on my chair all day, snoring her head off, happy to have lots of belly rubs, something she doesnt really like at all, she is very aloof !!!... Im hoping this might be the beginnings of stage 1 of the labour... Her tummy is as tight as a board today as well... I can feel lots of puppy playtime. We have taken pics of her, (and she was DISGUSTED, I can assure you ;)... Will put pics up in a few days, cos I cant do it, and Mr Saba is working tons of shifts :o

    Will update as soon as things get going :)...

  • It sounds like she is close now!! So exciting, good luck with everything!! :D

  • Well finally Ochre has had her little babies :D:D:D

    Just as the x-ray said, she has had 6 gorgeous bubbies, 2 boys, 4 girls all red/white… Mum and babies doing very well. They are all nicely marked, weights between 197-256 grams... Delivered between 11.15pm, our time, and 3.15am, so she has done a great job popping them out :)...

    Im proud as punch, our first Langarni litter, even if it did seem to take so very long to finally get here ;)...

    Off to catch some zzzzzzzzzz, with one eye, and both ears open too :)

  • Yeay!!! Congrats!! Well done Ochre!!! (and humans :D)

  • Well Done!!!!! Ochre (and I agree of course the humans to)…. nice group, 4 girls and 2 boys... Nice size (weight) range. Sounds like all when well!

  • Congrats on the safe arrival of the babies:D

    That would be my ideal size and sexes for my next litter but who knows!!

    Enjoy your zzzzzz's

  • Hooray and congratulations to Ochre and of course yourselves. How nice to have mostly girls.

  • Congratulations, can't wait to see pics.

  • Well done Ochre (and family!)! Once you have caught a few zzzz's, please do take some pictures as we are waiting with baited breath to see them!

  • Wonderful news! We will anxiously await the pictures I'm sure you'll be posting soon as you and Ochre have had a rest. Good on your girl.

  • Excellent news - congrats! Can't wait to see the pics once you get caught up on sleep and everything. Congrats again!!! Yay Ochre!

  • Awesome. they are finally here ,and it sounds like they are doing wonderful..good job Ochre and humans too..now we want pictures..please?

    She is BAD news..last year she had 5 litters, all of 25 basenji puppies, under a different name, bluebonnet basenji or something like that…stay away... I am pretty sure she is the one..hope I am wrong though.. as a side not..a reputable, responsible breeder knows all about Fanconi and does not rely on a vet to recommend testing..

    But the part that you highlighted about in season bitches is not likely to occur at a dog show. I do not allow other dogs at shows to lick my dogs nor do I allow my dogs to lick other dogs at a show. I have not seen any study that shows that an in season bitch is at significantly higher risk than any other dog at a dog show. If you are taking reasonable precautions with your dogs while at a show, I don't see that they are any more likely to contract an infection than the other dogs at the show. Actually, this past year I bred a bitch who came into season early and specifically asked my repro vet about bringing her to show because it would break the major if she did not show. My repro vet said that it was fine as long as I took reasonable precautions like using a crate and not allowing her to explore the grounds with her nose in everything. She whelped a healthy litter of 4.

    Thank you guys so much for the information. I will definately write it as you said. Maybe he will then stop being so ugly. I know that there is no way he will let me or anyone that knows me have her. All I know is I paid him back for the dog, paid to fly it to them and now I get to be rimmed out on the phone, emails, etc. I just love hearing what an irresponsible breeder I am and how much I abused the dog. It just makes me fighting mad to be accused of such things. I love my dogs so much and they live better than I do it seems… Thanks again, you guys are the best.

    @Kipawa: Boy, I will put my flame retardent suit on here before I say this - in the picture of the four basenjis, well, they look so unhappy. ALL of them. I sympathize with the breeder in that she has some medical/mental restrictions, but the look of the breeding facility frightens me. If she has medical/mental restrictions she should NOT be breeding. And I agree about the conditions of the kennels. They are dirty and unkept. And as said, if there are no papers/unregistered AKC then she should not be breeding.
