Four!
Neena had an ultrasound yesterday and the doctor determined that she has AT LEAST four buns in the oven!! There could be more, but there is at least four! Now, the waiting game begins!

Today is the day!
Neena has an appointment today to be seen by the vet. They will palpate and see if they can feel anything. A blood sample will be sent to the lab today as well for an "official" test. Fingers crossed!

Tomorrow is the day!
Tomorrow, Neena will get a pregnancy test. Fingers crossed! I spent some time with her yesterday and I palpated but didn't feel anything. I have never been that good at doing that, but usually feel something. Hopefully, the doctor will feel something and the pregnancy test will confirm that we have little Neenettes cooking!

The Deed Has Been Done
The deed has been done. Neena has been bred. I am so happy that Sue decided to go with Casey. I just love this dog. I love so many things about him that it's hard to name a few. Of course, I love his looks in general. He is a very masculine, heavy boned dog. Doggie for sure, but not overly so. He is male all the way. He moves beautifully and has a good front. He is low and long. He is an animal in the field, with already three Absolutes. He finished his bench championship easily. And, best of all, he has a sweet, syrupy, outgoing, lovely temperament. A perfect match for Neena.
Neena is a wonderful Dachshund in her own right. She has a nice front and a pleasing head. She has beautiful side movement. In very limited showing, she has both majors and needs just a few singles to finish. If I had put a little more into her and we didn't have so many schedules to meet, she would have been finished by now. She didn't even start showing until she was over three. I am not worried about it. I will finish her after the puppies.
The breedings were done on February 18, 19 and 20. Sue things she looks pregnant and will have a pregnancy test done on March 16. I can't wait. Hopefully, we will have a beautiful litter to do a lot of early learning and enrichment with. They aren't my puppies, but I am very close to Neena, to Sue (Neena's owner) and to Sharon (Neena's breeder and Casey's owner). So, even though they aren't "mine", I feel like they are mine.
If she is pregnant, and if she has puppies and if there is a beautiful male, we will take him. These puppies will be great great grandpuppies of our almost 14 year old Ivy. It will be nice to have a standard smooth in the house to show again.
