It is time

This morning Lily was tested again for her progesterone level. We already had a suspicion that this might be the case, and it was true! The progesterone value was 20.2 today, well above the desired 15.9. This means that Lily probably ovulated in the early hours this morning and that we are going to get […]

Almost

Lily was tested for progesterone again today. The value has already risen well, it is 12.4! Tomorrow morning we will take another test, who knows for the last time…? If the value is high enough, we will head to Käpt’n tomorrow or the day after!

Lily her progesterone

Today Lily was tested again for her progesterone level. Fortunately, this is now on the rise! Just a reminder: the value must be above 15.9 nmol/l for ovulation and last Wednesday it was at 0.7. The value today is 6.4, which means that something has now been set in motion. Tomorrow afternoon we will test […]

The first blood test

This morning I went to the vet clinic with Lily. We took her blood for the first time to test the progesterone level. With this value we can determine whether it is already time to travel to Käpt’n. Today is day 8 of her heat cycle. Shortly afterwards the results came in. We don’t have […]

Late Christmas gift

This beautiful French Bulldog is called Käpt’n, pedigree name: Kaepten or Saxonys Countrylove. He lives in Germany […]

Long time no see!

It’s been a while!
No news, no message, no see and no hear for a long time…

Due to various circumstances it has been quiet for a long time, about 5 years! Yet all this time there has been an itch to continue breeding. I had my doubts for a long time, but we took the plunge and Lily has been extensively tested recently!

Teun his health tests

Teun is now well over 20 months old and so it became time for his health exams. Teun is an athletic, strong male and he would contribute in a positive way to the population. Because our testprotocol is so extensive not all specialists could be present at the same time. So the exams were split […]
