So, you have submitted a deposit for a future pup from one of Brown’s Labradoodles females. What next ?

Well, a future litter is a projected litter from a female that has not bred yet. A female will not breed until she is in the “ heat cycle “.

BREEDER TALK FOR THOSE INTERESTED

The heat cycle is the period of time in which the female begins “spotting”. When a female starts spotting, blood is observed from the vagina. The first sign of this marks the first day of the heat cycle. There are 3 or 4 days during the heat cycle when the female will stand to receive the male and the male will be interested in mounting the female. It is usually around day 11 of the heat cycle that both the female will stand and the male will be interested. This will result in a breeding. Dogs generally breed on day 11,12 and 14 of the heat cycle, although this can vary a few days one way or the other. Females carry their pups for about 63 days. It is about 120 days from breeding to pups going home at week 8.
