Fingers Crossed
Some of you will remember 18 months ago we mated Freyja to her breeders champion show dog. Sadly she reabsorbed the litter and although we went through all the signs of labour she had no pups.
Well she has had several seasons since but they never coincided with her breeder and the dog being over here. I have however found out the dog now lives in Portugal so no chance of using him again.
Freyja is in season again and as her breeder originally suggested using one of my own dogs on her Owen we decided to go with one of my other dogs Simba who is Owen's son and is a better dog than his dad.
We Simba mated Freyja on sunday we have tried since but no second mating so far. I has been hard as Simba has never mated a bitch before and wasn't sure what to do but we got there in the end and had a 20 minute tie.
Before anyone startes going on about health tests we have no required health tests in whippets and yes I do have homes wating for the pups some have been waiting for 18 months since her previous mating.
