We're Back!!
Kelly is in season again as of a few days ago so her journey towards motherhood begins anew.
Her timing really stinks.
If all goes as it should her pups will be ready to go to their new homes the week of Christmas.... one of a breeder's worst nightmares.
If Rapper (her intended suitor) were not already 11 I'd wait another 6 months to breed her, but every day we wait is a gamble when the male dog is that age.
The plan (assuming I can go through with it) is that she'll be on a plane to Portland Monday evening at 7 pm. I have always said I'd never fly a dog, but the choices are limited here if I want to get a successful breeding. Kelly is a very special dog, this is not an easy decision for me to make.
Today she gets a bath and gets her nails manicured to get her all beautiful for the trip.
Tomorrow she goes to the vet to get a health certificate so she can fly, a brucellosis test and a progesterone test so we have a baseline idea of where she is a in her season.
