Teats!

When Bella went into heat, she got "larger" teats. That is normal. As of today, I noticed some puffiness around her teats and that her teats were extra pinkish. When she is walking/standing I notice small peaks that sort of hang. Good signs!



Just another reason ( other than having been mated ) to think she is expecting! She is almost 14 - 19 days pregnant. ( Just depends on which tie took ) and that sounds about right as far as when she would be showing signs!

I bought my mom & dad a Dachshund.

I still have him, I am giving him to them this Sunday. He still needs one more shot and then he is all hers! - What a good early Christmas gift! How cute is he? :)

He's not registered AKC but he is still purebred and cute. He's all red with a black tipped tail. lol...

Breeding & Expecting....

Bella's breeding cycle is over!


We had 4 successful ties starting on
Sept 7th/CD9
Sept 8th/CD10
Sept 9th/CD11
Sept 11th/CD13

...We never witnessed a tie on CD12 or CD14... but they were doing stuff and having fun! - 6 full days of breeding... but really, We had Odie and Bella together from the beginning of her heat cycle until CD14. We may have missed more breeding!


We're expecting
New puppies... November 10th through November 14th, 2008!


Keep checking back for more updates. I am more that positive that I'll be posting belly pictures and new puppy updates in about 63 days or so! ... Holiday Dachshunds!

Bella (DAM) and Odie (Sire)

Bella began going over to see Odie for visits about 5 months ago. Odie actually didn't care for Bella at all.... Was kind of mean to her! Ever since she has been in heat they are best friends. Running together, Playing together, Mounting, Flirting, etc.

Once Bella was in what I call Cycle day 2 ( CD2 ) I began to take her over to see Odie daily and then we'd pick her back up at the end of the day.


Bella is a RED/PIEBALD.
Odie is a RED/DAPPLE.

They'll make beautiful puppies when they do!

Bella's in heat!

Bella began her "heat" on August 30, 2008. She's ready to breed!

It was dark blood when I noticed it so she could have started earlier and I missed all the signs - regardless I am counting from the days I noticed first.

I'll be breeding her with my Mother in-laws dog named Odie. Another purebred registered Dachshund!
