Men in Black

[Patty]

Big strong babies! Congratulations.

Love black boy basenji pups! Especially nice fat healthy ones!!! Seems like this is the year of the black pups everywhere. I had planned to try to acquire a black boy puppy this year, then Chipley 'happened to' us. So much for plans!

Congratulations!

I have a question: I've never heard of the term "uterine horn" and had to Google it. So now I know what it is (sort of), but I am still clueless as to what significance it has in a birth and why it's important that each had their own. Please explain!

[JoT]

Magnificent boys! I am in love with Agent J.

I'm sure someone who breeds will jump in on this, but basically if there are too many embryos in one horn you can get overcrowding, which might result in weak or non viable puppies. I believe the embryos implant about 17 days after fertilization and if you are fortunate they will divide evenly between the horns with lots of room for everyone…...

[lvoss]

Because they each had their own horn they had lots of room to stretch out and each pup ended up as big as our singleton was 2 years ago. If they had both been in the same horn they would have less room and may not have been quite as large. In addition to crowding effecting size, if the number of puppies in each horn is very different it can cause uterine torsion during labor and threaten mom and pups.

[LindaH]

Gotcha! Thanks for the explanations!
