My noodles and geisha and eggs are wasted, and this pup still hasn't eaten.
I'm cleaning up the house and she's happily chasing after the broom

You can ask the previous owner what they used to feed the pup. it's a good starting point.

welcome home! congratulations.

I guess I was worried about her not eating too soon. Well I decided to give her her food in bits and when I took the second bit, she was all up and excited finished it in no time and I had to add more.

The discharge in her eyes were gone and I saw the clear discharge from her vulva on the ground where she urinated.

My 2yrs plus caucasian 55 days pregnant.

Congratulations OP, I know the feeling. happy omugwo!

Please what age is the dog mine is 11 months still no heat let alone litter

If your dog is a giant breed, that could be the reason if not, u will need to pay closer attention. My caucasian came on heat at 2yrs and it was all good cos her body was fully matured and ready for pregnancy by then.

Bobby were u de get all this nice pups from. The one I bought from u is now a lion. Very big as a female. Waiting for it to start producing

@xana101, can u please post her picture, I love such success stories and I also love caucasian pictures. Thank You.

@Bobby, the puppy is amazing!

I am feeling low today day 55 cos Ira has not been eating well. I guess I will have to make her food more appetising. She is not her hyperself ofcourse and was not even happy to see me when I brought her food. She threw up yesterday I am not sure how many times.

I took her for a walk round the compound after which she drank some water.

As I was typing this an Idea came to me to try giving her bread. when I took it to her, she almost pounced on me. I cut the bread over her food. she has eaten the bread and is eating the food now.

So the bread trick is now what I will do but I know it won't last long so I will have to get creative.

Hmmm I feel a lot better now.

meanwhile, she has white discharge in her eyes. I guess it's as a result of dust cos harmattan has set in well here.

Safe Delivery Ira...

Aww! very sweet of you. Amen ooo

Ira seeking and loving attention @54 days pregnant! at this stage, rather than jump on u in her usual manner, she would just sit and wait for u to pat her as in this picture.

@jayned yu really love yur dogs thumbs up yu are making me fall in love with Caucasian

Yes ooo I adore them and I am not ashamed of saying it. what is there not to love? they are super awesome if u know how to handle them and very good watch dogs.

For some strange reason I have not been following up with Ira's breast development for some weeks now. I checked today, 10 days to go and voila! there is milk and the breast have grown significantly larger even larger than that of season one at this period.

Zeus again at 10 months. 07037622900 is my number.

This is Zeus at 10months

These are pictures of Ira my caucasian bitch pregnant at about 50 days.

Do you see the bulge in the second picture or is it my eyes? Anyway, based on our countdown, we should be expecting the puppies in 12 days time give or take 3 days.

it's exactly 36 days today since the first mating. There are actually no significant evidences if Ira is pregnant or not. I feel her teats have enlarged a tinny bit since the last time. Meanwhile, she has not gained her weight fully at the tuck but I noticed her ribs area is larger and rounder than usual.

If indeed she is preg, then we will be expecting the puppies in about 26 days time.

last time I told you we put Ira in a smaller cage to minimize her movement and all. Well, she looked or was really miserable in there when we brought her out after two days for a small walk, it was like she just got out of prison. she has since refused to even go near the cage or enter it.

we usually had a tough time getting her into her regular room. she would usually literally do yanga by shaking her waste,wagging her tail, rolling on the floor and refusing to budge. But after 2 days in that cage, (I am sure she thought we jailed her for too much yanga ) she does not want that anymore. the moment she hears go into your room, she would quickly run into her regular room for fear of being thrown into jail.

I really hope all goes well. as per her physical development, I noticed she has lost some weight probably because we reduced her food. meanwhile the teats are still as they were.

cedar3:
No pics?

if you mean pics of the teats, no because I will need an extra pair of hands or two to hold her in place and to put the hair in place to expose the teat while I snap.

You know they can get overly excited (I mean caucasians). I don't wanna lose my phone screen again.

Last time Ira was pregnant, it was almost impossible to tell since she was big before mating so the bulging of the tummy was insignificant . The only way we could tell was if we felt her teats.

For this season, last time I checked her teats before mating, it was smaller than a peanut seed I even thought it was a tick I kept pulling at it before I realised luckily for me she didn't bite me.

As the weeks progress I will be able to know from the size of the teats if she is pregnant.

Now that the mating is done, conception would have already taken place or will any time soon. Ira needs to be kept away from Zeus and be off guard duty till she whelps. So we put her in a cage smaller than her regular cage with less access to noise and people she is not liking it but I believe its better than been chained in the backyard for 2 months.


This isolation is to check the possibility of a miscarriage and she won't be needing much food since she is won't be doing any running and jumping around.

Today's mating went well as well.

I had always thought mating dogs was easy breezy in the sense that you just bring the male and female together and leave them to do their business. It turns out they need assistance (maybe it's the breed). But here I see 2 men having to hold the bitch one holding the head while the other while sitting holds her hind leg and tail lest it be in the way. (it is no task for me at all). The guy sitting also guides the stud and ensures he stays in place before the tie.

Today's tie lasted less than a minute just like the second time in the first season we mated.

In this mating business, you have to get ready to get dirty.

More mating pictures.

We did the mating today. Phew! Thank God it went well though it lasted longer than the previous 2 times. I really felt for Ira cos it seemed she was uncomfortable. Next mating will be in 2 days time. We will be expecting the puppies in approximately 60 to 63 days so let the count down begin.

We used Diamond the first baby daddy again. I noticed our Ira has grown since the last time we mated them. She will be 3 years old in 4 months time.

The breeder advised we cut down her food ration by half because of her weight. She out weighs the stud a bit though he is taller.

cedar3:
pls can u be gracious enough to drop off your digits for me? I can't believe what my eyes are seeing. seems like yesterday and by God your dogs are great. Any update on d sold ones?

Thanks for your comment. I am in touch with only 2 of the owners that bought the dogs. The pictures I have of them are old. once I get current ones, I will upload.

14teenK:
how old is the male.. ..you are really doing a great job

He will be 9 months in 2 weeks time. Thanks for the encouragement.

wapadunk:
Pls don't keep a male with same bloodline with her. It's not the best

Thanks for your comment. however, if you followed the thread, you will know that Zeus is not Ira's offspring.

The first picture is of Ira after her post partum bath and shave. she lost a lot of hair and some weight. The hair loss scared me but when I googled it, I discovered it's normal.

The second picture is of Ira and Zeus taken today.

Hi all! I know I have been off the radar for a while. A Lot has happened since last time. It turned out that Zeus was ill that was why he was not eating as per my last post. He however recovered fully and is active and eating well (Infact he can now eat for africa). He even bullies Ira who is way bigger and older than him when it comes to food.

He will be 9months old in a couple of weeks.

I noticed Ira started bleeding yesterday so we are expecting puppies soon. We plan to mate in 10 days time. We won't be using Zeus cos we feel he is too young besides Ira is bigger than him though he is taller.

This is a picture of Ira below.
