Ok, maybe the title's a little dramatic. This blog is a record of Giggles' (CH Starbuck Torbay Funny Girl) first litter of puppies. The sire of the litter is Hobie (Ch Scentini Hang Ten). Giggles apparently was happy to give her "innocence" away, after determining that Hobie was an ok guy. She was bred several times between February 16th and February 21st, when I picked her up.
It's been 3 weeks since her first breeding and she looks a little wider through the ribcage. I remember seeing that when I worked for a Golden Retriever breeder. The first time a maiden bitch is bred, her body has to make room for the puppies to grow. Giggles' isn't really acting differently and doesn't seem to be having any "morning sickness." Busy (Giggles' granny) was fine throughout her pregnancy, too, as far as gastric upset was concerned.
I will post pictures of both Giggles and Hobie later. And I will try to keep up with this blog - I've never been very good at writing on a regular basis.
