Hello again, babe was bred with 3 ties; march 2 & 3 & 4. how and when may I tell if she did conceive? I read soooo much but would like to hear from you first hand :) thanks!

If you mean, when to have her scanned, then my vet will scan at around 28 days

Scan or by Relaxin blood test at approx 28 days

That is something best left to an experienced (in the technique, vet.  An inexperienced person could cause damage.

:-O  :-O

I wont even let my vet palpate!! He gets ready to and I tell him "don't you dare"! Definitely not something to be done from a diy guide on the internet!!

Too right!  I've seen some breeders checking their own bitches - they dig so deep to check every nook and cranny.  Why would anyone be so stupid as to encourage absorption? 

I would never let anyone palpate one of my bitches.
