found this on a website (hope the link works!) just wondered if anyone has had experience with it as i have not come across it before only sonicaids that detect heartbeats.

Would this not pick up sounds from the bladder too??

I've seen these before and wonder the same.  Normally on the back of the dog papers

Thats a lot of money......................cheaper to get a scan Lorri....................actually, I'm wondering if this is something that another person who I know of, who detects canine pregnancy, uses? Apparently, she can find the blood flow to the uterus? or something similar??

Jolene - i wasn't thinking of buying one so dont worry!!! was just looking for 'sheep scanners' local to us as finding it hard to accept the vet said no pups on scan. Think i want a second one to prove it.

just saw this device and wondered how accurate it could be.

A friend has one , she bought it from the guy who sells the Draminski Ovulation Detector , you can use it from 3 weeks and it definately works! She brought it over to my bitch and said she was in whelp, she went on to have 3 puppies. She told me it had never given a false result , I would love one but don't breed often enough to justify the outlay!

To be honest at about £25 at my vet for palpation it would take me years of breeding to cover the cost of such a device.

my vet charges £19 for scan which is brill

Would something like a Doppler scanner work instead? They are still expensive, but not quite so much! You use them to listen to feotal heartbeats in human pregnancies. Would you be able to hear pups heartbeats with one, do you think?
