DJL4 Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 So..... After a good reccy around over the weekend, yesterday I found a half cut weat field that had all the makings of a potentially very good day, Lots of birds around and numbers dropping in. Back home, frozen birds out of the freezer to defrost overnight, batteries charged for the magnet etc. Got up this morning and let the dogs out and my cocker bitch is now showing every sign of giving birth imminently! Inconsiderate dogs! Nothing arrived as yet but she's been whimpering and trying to nest build almost everywhere - In the shower room, under the table, behind the tv cabinet and under any bush in the garden .... Everywhere apart from the whelping box. Bang goes the pigeon shooting! Such is life. Will update as things progress ...... DaveL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddypower999 Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 That's dogs for you! Pups are far more fun than pigeon's. Good luck we only had to stay up for 36 hours with hams first litter! Keep us posted Paddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep us posted Paddy Very true Paddy, much more fun ..... when the little blighters appear! Still no sign.... bitch still mopeing about, whineing quietly and can't settle. Could be a long night. Lab's seem to get on with it but I think Cockers just like all the attention! DaveL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJL4 Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Update ..... Things kicked off around 2.30am this morning and by 8.30am five pups had appeared, two dogs & three bitches. I *think* thats the lot. All look healthy and well so far. DaveL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
