We had Heidi’s x-ray, to do a puppy count, today.
Saw just four puppies, although she really looked like she was carrying more!
Pregnancy X-Ray
Still on the countdown
Outside for a short walk on this very hot day here in Iowa…
Picture taken today, 5/27/18, and her due date is next Saturday, 6/2/18.
One Week Until Puppies
Getting excited to welcome some new babies into the world! This picture was taken last night…
Ultrasound confirmed! Puppies expected!
Excited to report that the ultrasound done last week confirmed Heidi’s pregnancy! Puppies due June 2nd!
Because it’s a constantly moving image, an ultrasound does not give a puppy count (you wouldn’t know if you’re counting the same pup more than once), although we did see at least four puppies at once. We will x-ray shortly before the due date to try to get a puppy count, which helps us during whelping to know how many to expect.
Heidi has been bred
Heidi and I took an amazing cross-country trip (Iowa to California) to breed to Henry. Hoping for puppies around June 1st.

Puppy pedigree information to come.
Our policies on placing puppies. If you are interested in a puppy, please email me with a little bit of information about yourself, including your location.
I am also happy to offer referrals and to assist people in finding and screening breeders. Email me at bev@fotodanes.com with your location and any color preferences. We encourage you to do your own research on anyone’s recommendations, including ours. Don’t just stop at asking a breeder if they have Great Dane puppies for sale!

9 Week Old Evaluation
I can’t believe it has been 9 weeks. This litter has been so much fun!
All of these puppies have new homes.
Puppies stacked at 6.5 weeks
Not quite old enough for official evaluations, but the puppies starting to learn the stacking ropes. So happy with how this litter is turning out!
In birth order:
Puppy picture fun!
First time outside
The puppies had their first venture outside today. They did great!
