On Valentine’s Day both Lotte and Rumi came in heat. We cried both happy and sad tears as Rumi and I were invited to the retriever championships in the Netherlands, but now we have had to pull us back from the competition.
Not much time to dwell on sadness – the litter prep has begun!
First I took Lotte to our local veterinarian for a regular health check. Everything was fine and compliments for good behavior.
The vet took a blood sample for herpes titer – then we know wether to need a vaccine after the mating.
Lotte has been thoroughly health tested before we made litter plans and she has received all her vaccines except those she still had protection from.
She is primarily raw fed with a balanced diet of meat, vegetables, a bit of carbs, herbs and fruits. She has daily chews of natural source and a late night snack.
I think we are ready for the adventure of our B litter.
