I too just found this thread and sat the entire afternoon reading each post. It was like a book I couldn't put down! I felt every emotion you had as I have been through it with my girl. Way to go!! You and your girl did wonderfully!

OMG its been over a year already since the pups where born!

Hey, Hey
We are slowly starting our "Journey Of a First Time Litter"
It's still more than a year to mating, but after reading all those things about breeding I decided to start prepare slowly now Lots of things to do and to buy.

And I have a question.
EXCLUDING stud fee and health tests approx. how much money did you spend before the whelping?? I mean on things like whelping box, scan, vet visits with your bitch through the pregnancy etc.

Before mating I make sure I have £2000 sat in a bank account which goes untouched, then stud fee on top, then £700 for all whelping equipment.

Hi, I spent a FORTUNE! Whelping kit was £60 i think, then puppy milk, My dad built the whelping box so i didn't have to pay that out. all the food they were eating so that was LOADS, then after they left fixing their damage! and 2 years later yes i'd do it all over again.

scan was around £40, we didn't visit the vet through pregnancy there wasn't a need too but they were on the phone if i needed them to be and that was free!.

Like someone said a nice £2k in the bank!

I was lucky i didn't need a vet or c sections etc etc you have to be prepared for everything!
