Unfortunately we have some sad news to share. 💔
Dottie does not have any puppies. After further ultrasounds, we learned that she had actually absorbed some of the puppies after 30 days. At day 55 we were still able to see one puppy on ultrasound, but last night Dottie gave birth to a very tiny, lifeless puppy.
Dottie is doing well physically and is recovering, but we are heartbroken and emotionally exhausted. This was not the outcome we had hoped and prayed for. Breeding is not always rainbows and butterflies — there are hard and heartbreaking moments that come along with it too.
For now we are taking time to rest, recover, and process the sadness from last night. We appreciate everyone who has checked in on us and loved Dottie along the way. Please keep our sweet girl in your thoughts. ❤️
