Well my Anton surprisingly is a daddy today!

For those who don't know the saga the bitch was scanned 4 weeks ago and owners told that there was nothing there.  They were certain that there was and took her again 2 weeks ago to be told that there was 2 at the most.  I won't say how many have been born but come on SWD owners how many do you think she had in the end!!

Congratulations! I'm not familiar with your breed but I'm going to guess at 7 pups.

LOL I will always remember my first litter where the vet who scanned said 2 or 3 pups and 10 were born!

Not SWD owner, but I guess 9?

I am guessing at 6 - and congratulations Anton

come on put us out of our misery how many were there.

Linda

Hi and Congratulations,
Scans what a laugh
How mant times do they actually get it right????????????????

I no longer both - either they are pregnant and you'll find out how many in 9 weeks time, or you've missed and will have to wait six months.

I guess 5

Congratulations Anton.

I guess at 8.

Congratulations Anton (and mum)!!! I guess 9 puppies.

I guess 7????

Hayley

i say 4
jenny56 said 5 she cannot get on line or reply to anyone at the moment

by your excitement I guess 11 LOL

Chrisy and Jenny were right 5, which is the breed average!!

Oooh lovely. Hope there's a nice puppy in there for you.

is there a girl naturel  bob tail or not

what did she have colour wise

NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO  !!

Just one white and black boy like great grandma Lydia who was born with a half tail.  Think one of the gold and white girls may be one vertebrae short of a full tail but nope all but one with almost full tails.  So no puppy for me, I want to cry!!

Oh sorry colour wise.  White and black boy (natural short tail), Black and white boy, gold boy and two gold and white girls I think! 

we still got to do our hunting for a male dog

Our close friend was told her SBT wasnt pregnant, or maybe had just one hiding behind her ribs.

5 weeks later and 6 healthy pups were born! So I already dont trust scans!

Well done Anton boy!  Well I think everyone knows my saga of a year ago (this month) so I won't prolong it, scanned at 6 weeks told she was constipated, gave birth 3 weeks later to 7 hefty pups.  The vet's only comment was, "didn't you notice".  Well durrr, she suffered from really bad phantoms & used to sell up like she was pregnant so no, i took the bloomin' vet's advice.

Don't trust scans , although I'll probably get one done again if it was Bri

I trust scans, not for numbers, just for confirmation of pregnancy as long as it's not done by my own vet!!!  He is useless, told me one of my girls wasn't pregnant, she had 7!!!  My vets trainee did the last scan and was spot on.

congratulations anton !!!

happened to my breeder as well.
she was told the bitch was not pregant and then we got a phone call three weeks later to ask if we still wanted a pup as she had had 9 pups.

My friends wasn't scanned by the vet but by a sheep scanning person which most of us recommend on here! 

Just like to add that we don't trust x-rays either!  We had a bitch deliver 9 puppies normally, got her checked
by the vet and everything seemed OK and she settled with her babies.  However, 24 hours later she delivered one
dead puppy, so back to the vets, where they x-rayed to see if there were anymore and no, nothing seen on x-ray.
However, we were not happy with how she was and were still convinced she had more puppies.  She ended up having
a C-Section and lol and behold - 4 live puppies!!!!!!!!!!
We have also had scans, even sheep scanners that have not shown any puppies when there have been.  The problem
with our breed is that they can carry the pups high up under the ribs and they love to surprise us!

Yeah, I suppose in reality my breed is also quite deep chested so some could hide away!

Did they go to Wey Farm for scanning, D? Just curious as saw a couple of Spanish up there last time I was there.

Oh don't know as she's in Somerset, no my neck of the woods!  If they were gold (creamish colour) and a black one then it may have been them.
