We had an ultrasound appointment for Piper on Friday. This is how we tell, for sure, that she is pregnant. Sure enough, as soon as the Vet turned on the ultrasound machine, she said, "Oh boy! Lots of puppies!" We never have final trust in the number of puppies shown by the ultrasound, but the early "guestimate" is nine!
Piper is a 40 pound "mini" Goldendoodle. Our Vet says she needs to lose a few pounds - after her pregnancy. (Don't we all!?) As my Dad, a lifelong sailor and Navy-guy, would say, "She's a bit wide in the beams." She is very playful and active, but as my Doctor tells me, "If you work out enough to burn 3 donuts worth of calories, but you ate 5, it ain't going to work!" Enough about that delicate topic...
"Who eats more than they should, but is happy and active and fun anyway?"

The dad this year - as it is Piper's second litter - is Toby. He is a 14-pound AKC registered miniature poodle who was also the dad for our litter with Biscuit last summer. He is a people puppy! He loves to meet people and he is very gentle and friendly.
I'll post more info as it becomes relative, but we expect Piper's puppies to be born around the 8th or 9th of March, and then they will be ready for their new homes in early May.
