I took Enya for her x ray this morning to get a final count on how many puppies to expect on Wednesday, and it turns out there is only one. I know, I'm surprised too (so was my vet!) as she is quite large for only one puppy. The puppy itself isn't overly big, just average, so I'm hoping that bodes well and we will be able to avoid a c section which can happen with singleton puppies.
Can you see him/her stretched out along the bottom?
This puppy won't be available, as it will be staying and growing up at Braebrook.
Phoebe is only just three weeks along now and so it is still too early to tell yet if her breeding took. Stay tuned to the blog or Facebook for updates!
Mariah - we are very sorry for Enya and you, hopefully the new puppy will be a wonderful addition to your pack. We have our hopes up and appendages crossed that Phoebe will be much more prolific! Also do want you to know that although we would prefer a female, our first preference is to have a Braebrook addition to our family so we would be very happy with a boy. Take care, hope all goes well on Tuesday (or when Enya gives birth).

Thank you! I was hoping for more too but that's the way it goes. Fingers crossed for Miss Phoebe. :)
DeleteThank you for the interesting post of the picture of the pup still in the mother's body - I have a wonderful boy Doberman who was only one of two pups. He has changed my life, taught me the gifts of kindness, patience and understanding. Good luck to mother and pup!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, and thank you for reading! Dobermans are a wonderful breed. :)
DeleteWe hope that Enya will have a easy birthing. I know it's disappointing with the singleton but we hope its a nice heathy addition to your pack.
ReplyDeleteAll the best. Ray/Mark
