How long do you

[dawger]

hunt a pregnant female?
I have one that is about half way to term and would like to keep her in shape as long as possible. I was just woundering how long you guys and gals run your dogs into they're pregnancy.
I know this was dicussed on here a long time ago but I think the info was lost in the shake up . Any thoughts would be great.


Thanks a lot.....Steve...

My first attempt was an accident so it didn't count. My second attempt at breeding resuted in a false pregnancy, so on the third attempt I layed her up from the day I bred her. She was an older dog that I really wanted puppies out of. She had 8 the second time and was fine. I don't know if it helped but thats what my vet said to do. I also know of a female that gave birth at the tree. Apperently the guy didn't know she was pregnant. So it really might not matter. I'd lay off when she started getting uncomfortable.
