we mated our lab bitch 6 weeks ago, she doesnt seem to be getting fatter atall! well in the morning she looks normal, but when feeding or in the evening she seems more rounded!!!

Is there any chance shes pregnant, or will we have to refund all the prospective owners!!!??
this is our first time breeding, could she just have one or two pups, or what!!

thanks
Donna

hang on a sec and I will consult my crystal ball.... :)

There's no way of telling I'm afraid. You could give it another week and see if the vet can feel any pups - but thats not conclusive.

Personally, I wouldn't have taken any cash of any prospective owners for that exact reason....but yes, there is a possibility you will have to hand it all back. She may have ten, she may have one, she may have 3 dead ones...who knows. You will just have to wait and see :)

She could be pregnant, so don't do anything yet.  We took a dog once to the vets to make sure that she was pregnant and they said that she definitely wasn't, a few hours later she had 4 pups which was a big litter for the breed!

Many people ask for a deposit on pups before they are born, it is normal practice.  I admit I don't but I know people who do.

Hope all goes well.
