We had a follow-up ultrasound for Ivana last Thursday. The 2nd ultrasound unfortunately also showed no puppies present. :o( We are very disappointed at this news, but will try again with her next heat cycle in January. 15% of all breeding attempts result in no pregnancy. We are sad that this time around we are in the 15% instead of the 85% which are successful. But on the bright side... spring born puppies are far more enjoyable to potty train when the weather is nice than in the winter when it is cold and yucky! Also, we know both Ivana and Bismarck are fertile, so their future chances are still great for a successful breeding. Gotta look at all the positives we can. :o)
We'll keep facebook and the site updated as things develop down the road. Thanks for being patient and we are sad to have to share this disappointing news.
