I had something similar, and my dog WAS pregnant with 9 pups. If she was just at 25days sounds too early to me, considering she could really be 21 if she did not take right away. I would get her blood tested once she is over 35 days, and this will tell you if she is pregnant or not. Its an inhouse test, very inexpensive, and should let you know for sure if she took or not.

To: klite3gsd@xxxxxxxxx, showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Monday, December 28, 2009, 8:56 AM It's possible for them to be wrong...depends on TIMING, the expertise of the vet & the equipment. See if she has milk in a little bit.... (I don't x-ray or ultrasound. I want a momma-to-be doing the doggie equivalent of laying around eating bon-bons, lol! and NOT at the vets' where she could be exposed to a sick dog..God forbid!) One thing is for sure...she's either in whelp or not and time will tell...

I have a question for the knowledge base here on the List. Have you ever bred a bitch and had her ultrasounded and the vet said "no pups" but she was in whelp and did have pups? I bred one of my girls in Nov. and we had several great ties, I had her ultrasounded at approx 25 days and the vet didn't see anything. But she looks like she's getting bigger, and I haven't changed her diet. We are about 6 1/2 weeks from the breeding dates. Is she just getting fat? Or should I think about dusting off the whelping box? Thanks!
