There was a group of us at the vets today getting Tillie prepared for her big date. Lil Jaxon tried and tried but without the help of a 'stepstool', he just was not tall enough. So he was collected and produced a whooping 6 million sperm to inseminate into Tillie. They will meet again at the vets on Monday for a repeat performance. Then, Jaxon will go back home to his guardians and Tillie's mom will watch her like a hawk for pregnancy symptoms! :+)
If we were successful, adorable, mini, parti marked puppies should be coming around mid July! A busy summer is projected between Tillie's possible litter and Figgy's litter due in June.
Unfortunately, this mating did not take and Tillie is not pregnant. No one is more disappointed than I am. I have been looking forward to this pairing for a long time. Bummer. Hopefully, a mating when she next cycles will be successful.
So sorry to read about this, Joyce. I know how eager you were to see those puppies! Best of luck in the future, Meg
