There is no mistaking now, that Teagol is pregnant and as she heads towards what I consider seven weeks pregnant, each evening as she rests, I gentle place a hand against her abdomen waiting to feel movement of her pups. The size of Teagol at this stage makes me think she has taken from an earlier mating than a later one or she is carrying a large litter or both. Unfortunately we have been unable to pregnancy scan as we normally do, due to the restrictions at this time due to Covid 19. Which would of given us a better idea of conception timing and how many she is carrying. Although in the past, I have been more accurate from palpation than a vet scanning them.
She will be this Saturday coming, seven weeks from her first mating. As a bitch approaches seven weeks pregnant you should start to feel movement and as they approach eight weeks you should start to see the pups moving. The larger the litter the bitch is carrying the more movement will be felt and seen.

It’s fascinating to see her body changing so fast. She really is blooming and seems to be taking it all in her stride. How much longer does she have to go?
