Friday morning the 22nd of November we had Lotte’s progesterone tested for the 3rd time. It showed that she had just had ovulation and the vet predicted best mating moment to be Saturday and Sunday. It took some deliberation as Kaspar was supposed to run the WFRG Trophy on Saturday. The weather forecast was too bad for me to dare risk any delays.. we decided to cancel the Trophy and drive to Germany.
Lotte was lucky to have Rumi to accompany her and we were all staying in the lovely family cottage of Cajus’ owner.
Lotte resembles Rumi a lot – knowing what she wants or not. She did not want any hanky panky from Cajus on Saturday. In fact it left Maike and I rather depressed that she was that rejective.
Sunday mornings are always something special, don’t you think? Well Lottte thought the same and pulled me right out the door turned her behind towards Cajus and we had a very good mating with almost half an hour coupled. Cajus had some leg support from his owner. The two lovers had a sweet after play licking each other and rolling in the sand together.
After that Lotte had had enough lovemaking and was back to saying no with a deep bark. No more hanky panky for my little red monster.
We are happy that we got a good mating out of our trip and are looking forward to the ultrasound in about a months time.
On Sunday afternoon I had the joy of training with a couple of young gundogs – lovely time we had. My deepest thanks to the Marschke family for the “gastfreiheit”.
The waiting list for this litter will be open until birth.
