LITTER EXPECTATION - One Puppy Only

VonBIOS Emeline ("Athena") came into season on March 15, 2023 and was first mated on March 26 and 27, with subsequent matings through to March 29. The "lucky dog" is Alpinebase Lucky ("Luger").

On May 22, 2023, "Athena" had an x-ray to ascertain puppy numbers and health, etc. In fact, "Athena" is pregnant with one puppy only, which should be whelped around May 25 to May 28, 2023. Posted below is an X-Ray image of the singleton puppy.

See "Puppy Waiting List" on this web page for further oncoming "seasons"

Puppy Waiting List

The Planned Breeding of three (3) VonBIOS females and date estimates for Season Start and Puppy Adoption -

VonBIOS Emeline;(15/03/23) (24/07/23)
VonBIOS Franka (15/04/23) (24/08/23)
VonBIOS Fritzi; (26/06/23) (04/11/23)

VonBIOS Emeline ("Athena") first mated with Alpinebase Lucky ("Luger") on March 26, 2023, and on multiple occasions on subsequent days.. See the video (to the left) of "Luger".

VonBIOS Fritzi ("Puk") went into "Season" and reached ovulation but was found to be either too immature for mating at this stage in her life. We will try again around June 2023.

Upon further research, maiden bitches need to be "introduced" to the selected Stud Dog over several days from the commencement of the maiden bitch's "Season", thereby reducing, if not completely removing any apprehension, enabling successful matings.

It's a pity that the last Stud Dog kennel would not allow "In Season" females to be introduced in this manner. This became an expensive, stressful, and time-consuming number of mating attempts.

VonBIOS has more client females coming into "season" as follows, along with others not mentioned below -

LITTER FEMALE AVAILABLE SEASON

"G" 1 n/a n/a

"H" no females n/a n/a

"I" about 4 May 2023 t.b.a.

"J" 1 Aug. 2023 t.b.a

VonBIOS females are X-Rayed for Hip and Elbow Dysplasia scoring assessment. They will or have been swabbed for a Full DNA profiles.

VonBIOS Birget ("Eva" - Sable)

1 x female born (cesarean section) on
October 26, 2020.

"Eva" was Ultrasound scanned Monday, October 26, 2020, to determine puppy heartbeats and numbers. in her Litter, which sadly, was only two (2). However, the male could not be saved and the female is doing very well.

This puppy's pedigree name will VonBIOS Gretel.

Gretel is now 21 days old as at 16/11/2020. Gretel is in the "Back of House" care from her grandmother, Tessie, who will be 12 years old late in December 2020, as per the Youtube video below.

The Stud Dog is Dasty vom Ludwigseck BH AD, an "All Black" imported from Germany, October 2019. Eva's sire is the imported, Dark Red Sable, Bruno vom Wallensener Hof IPO2. Apart from the drive attributes of both imported dogs, their respective obedience and protection Dasty's all-black coat has darkened the coat.

Eva rejected her sole surviving puppy (female)., which means, hand raising her. So far, this puppy is getting fed on-demand.

VonBIOS Gretel, is now receiving "Back of House" care from her Grandmother, "Tessie". This relieves me of the task of stimulating Gretel's nether region to produce "1's and 2's". "Tessie" is providing parental stimulation as well puppy do's and don't's in behaviour.

WHAT TO DO NEXT?

WORKING LINE GERMAN SHEPHERD DOGS
