From the 16th day after mating, I started to notice strong changes in Chelsea.
Her nature suddenly changed from a cuddly and active dog to a cruelly clingy, lazy one and she wouldn't take a step without me, as soon as I turned my head somewhere, she was right next to me and lay down right away.
From the 18th day, she didn't want to eat for us. And she never leaves a single pellet and would do a somersault for a crumb. Suddenly, she didn't want anything. So I had to pull out the raw meat, which she got into at least a little. I even started to notice changes on her belly. So there were signals, but I was very impatiently waiting for confirmation.
On Thursday, July 17th, we had a sono, it was a long day, because we didn't set off until the afternoon. And we can happily confirm that we can look forward to the little gray ones in our kennel by the end of August.

On the 10th day after mating, we went to our vet for a check-up and vaccination against the Herpes virus. Chelsea's weight is currently 31.5kg

24.6.2025 ~ Day 15
Even though we wanted to cover on Wednesday, the vulva slowly started to shrink. We went to cover on Tuesday, but at least late in the evening.
The binding was done again in a moment, but it was already clear that it was getting worse. Even though both of them wanted it so much.
They were tied for 35min.

23.6.2025 ~ Day 14
On Monday morning, we set off on a trip to Poland, to Torun, for Dakar. The total distance for us was 1300km including the return trip. We checked in, checked where everything was and went 20min to the owner.
So the mating was in the afternoon, we arrived at the owner's property and waited for Dakar to be released. We were expecting a long foreplay, which wasn't much 😃. They ran a few times and the second time was probably over. They were tied for over 40 minutes.

Day 12
We went for progesterone again and it came out 5.66ng, which means that Chelsea is starting to ovulate. Compared to last year's litter, she ovulates earlier. So we'll go for mating in two days.

Day 9 of heat
We went for the first progesterone test. The result came out 2.8ng, we'll go again in two days.
