A friend cannot seem to get her bitch to conceive. She is way too nice to waste, major pointed, great temperament, pigment, etc. In the 60s I had a bitch whom I bred several times with no results. ( she was a ch. sister to GVX Donna who never had puppies either ) A vet suggested that we try chorionic gonadotropin, and she had a lovely litter. Did it again-- lovely litter. Sent her to Bernd and the vet said since she had been so successful, try without the hormone - no puppies. Have any of you heard of or had experience with this ? How do you feel, Doc Zoe ? It was such a long time ago, it's hard to remember the details, but the injection ( just one) was given very early in her season.
