Mystery's 63rd. day from the first breeding is July 20th. Today is only the 14th. She was very ancy last night......not wanting to settle. This morning she will not eat and she is normally a great eater. My question is this....Is it possible that she ovulated before the first breeding??? I only got two breedings two days in a row and Mick could not breed her the third day. I was thinking puppies possibly Friday, Sat. but today is too early. Could she poosibly just be uncomfortable because the puppies are moving??? I really did not think that there would be any puppies until at least Thursday. If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it. I think that I will be sticking very close to her now. TIA. Guess this is why I like doing progesterone tests Amy, but usually ovulation occurs 2-3 days before the bitch is very receptive to being bred (and I am saying usually, some bitches are different) and you count from ovulation, not when bred. Take a temp and watch her careful, could be time, and good luck!
