Mona Lisa sent us new pictures of Wagga’s and Ari’s puppies – they are two days old! Aren’t they gorgeous?

Wagga had her litter today! There are 6 puppies in total – 3 boys and 3 girls, ranging in weight from 412 to 510 grams. The first three came naturally, but Wagga’s contractions were quite weak, and so a Caesarean section was necessary to deliver the last three. As soon as Mona Lisa saw that [...]

This morning I received another update on the progress of Wagga’s pregnancy. Her owner, Mona Lisa Jehg, wrote,”Everything is coming along just fine. Yesterday I had help finishing the trimming of Wagga, so finally there are photos. Disappointingly she does not look as big in the photos as in reality. BUT she will be bigger. [...]

Ari is working hard [...]

She hasn’t really had time to count systematically and confirm the check, so we may be in for some surprises yet.  Another litter of 9 Wire-haired Vizslas was [...]

Happy short news
Hi all of you!
Finally on the scan today were clearly uterine swellings (blastocysts). I shall say – not too loud – that I think at one point I saw 6 at a time. She is pregnant for sure – and that is [...]
