Hello all!
We had our appointment for progesterone draw on day ten of Astra's heat on Thursday (yesterday). As of yet her progesterone levels are staying low--we can't breed till they go up! So for now it's a waiting game. But I did get more cute Astra photos! Above, her sweet face, and below, Astra and her owner, my good friend Jarrad, while we wait for results.
Silly Astra trivia: Jarrad calls Astra's fluffy paws her "Dr. Suess feet". :) For show dogs, we trim the fluff to keep the foot neat, but of course if you're not showing you can keep them au naturale if you wish. Only plush Shilohs get the fluffy feet!
So, plan for the weekend is to let things stew and hopefully ramp up! We will next test on Monday, which would be Day 14, and around when Astra's momma Kyrie always had her peak...so I would not be surprised to see the breeding happening on Tuesday or Wednesday. Keep your eyes on the blog and stay tuned for further news!!
