Those of you who read my one thread knows my dog Grace is pregnant and she is due alittle less than a month now so i was just wondering how many pups Gracie is going to have and I decided to ask everyone how many they think she will have!? She is only half way through about so she isnt TOOOO big yet but my guess is 5 because i had a dream she had 5 lastnight. Does anyone else want to guess how many she will be having? This is her first litter so I dont know if that help with the amount of pups or not!
We do know there is atleast 2 so far!!!

it's always fun guessing how many pups you'll get! i missed your last thread. what breed is she? your best bet to find out about how many pups to expect is to take her to th vet and have an Xray taken. it's really cool seeing all the little spines and skulls.

They can tell when they palpate her half way, but I think we are past that. They can also do a low exposure x ray to tell you at least. ( sometimes puppies hide in the womb) but they can tell if you need to know.
Also start adding red raspberry. Its a capsule you get at like GNC and for a 60 pound dog a full capsule in the food twice a day. This helps the hormone system cope, and helps the milk drop as the hormone system moves along. I also give my females 250 mg of vitamin c twice a day when pregnant to help hydrate not only her- but the pups.
If you want, please pm me.. I have been breeding dogs for years.
