Miremoses as in ehn! It really is not something any dog owner would want to experience.
Mo is stronger and bigger in every possible way there is. I mean she's a Boerboel, that alone explains everything.
Thankfully, the whole scenario was managed properly.
Good luck with mating your Rottweiler BTW.

true.there is this power boerboel possess, I mean their large and bulky nature makes them difficult to handle,especially if they get into a fight,with that being said,try and monitor the two from now,especially mo cause she might still have revenge in her mind,lol.

Ya,I've mated my female rott,she's currently pregnant as at now.thanks

Couple of weeks later, Mo came in season. Whoop! Whoop! It was her second heat cycle.
To mate? Or not to mate? That was the question.
People have been asking me when I'll mate Mo as they are all looking forward to owning a pup from her.
I mean this one time I was taking her for a walk and a total stranger pulled over in his car to talk to me.
He gave me his number to hit him up whenever she litters, this happens quite often.
I have this one Neighbour who booked down a pup since she was just Seven months old! He reminds me of this at least three days a week, three weeks in a month, eight months in a year!
Mo is simply amazing and I am eagerly looking forward to her delivering many more goofy adorable little Boerboel pups, but the thing is I did not intend to mate her on her second heat cycle.
A lot of people in this part of the world mate their dams on the second heat cycle and 90% of the time, everything goes according to plan. Some even breed successfully on the first heat cycle when she's barely a year which is very ridiculous and still get away with it.
A dog ideally should be bred on her third heat cycle, when she's at least two years old or very close to that. Her eggs are matured, she's matured and in the right frame of mind to cater for her pups.
I definitely will mate Mo, but I choose to be ethical about it.
So sadly, I have to wait until her third heat cycle.

Yes, the second heat cycle is fine, but the third is perfect especially when large dogs are involved.
She really has turned out to be beautiful! "Mo is a very fine geh"
thanks a lot chief.

Weeks after Mo was done with her second heat cycle, she started to exhibit symptoms related to pregnancy. She was not bred so I knew for a fact that it was false. She was lethargic, had decreased appetite, sleeps a lot, even at one point had a little bit of clear discharge from her vulvar. Mo was not at any point exposed to a male dog so "I really am not understanding".
It was stated that dogs tend to have phantom pregnancy during their second heat cycle, this was Mo's second heat cycle so i figured that was pretty much it. Yup, it was phantom alright.
These symptoms lasted for about a month and stopped soon after.
PS: You can clearly see her increased nipple size if you look closely at the picture below
PPS: Initially, I wrote " N*pple" in the previous comment but it was automatically substituted to "Tip" by Nairaland. Apparently the word is banned, but Tip will do just fine.

Re: Diary Of Mo: The Boerboel by sphinx92(m): 11:09am On Nov 05, 2016
I was away from home for months, so I pretty much missed a lot. Let's fast forward to about Five months later.
I received a call one Monday morning that Mo had started bleeding again, it was her third heat cycle.
Whoop! Whoop! Whoop! Whoop! Whoop!
Finally the day had come.
I already found a stud dog couple of months prior to Mo's third heat cycle. His name is Snoop (yes I know, calling him Snoop Dogg would be epic).
He's very athletic, slim and fit unlike the typical fat unexercised male Boerboels you see around. He's actually one of the few boerboels I have seen jump, like jump jump.
Mo was taken to the stud dog and it was love at first sight, well at least for Snoop(the Stud). The stud owner released Snoop and immediately, he ran to where I was. This dog is large! I'm talking two to three times Mo's size, you could easily remove two times the size of my head from his. he's super tall too.
It's funny how I always felt like a dog whisperer since that one time I successfully pat & controlled a stray German Shepherd Dog that everyone was basically afraid to touch years ago. Yes! I proudly brag about this often as I consider it to be a very big deal. I mean have you pet a stray GSD before? Didn't think so!
So Snoop came to where I was, and honestly I just died, on the inside, not literally. I just stood there and did not move a single muscle, then I gently called the stud owner to "please comman carry his dog"
He said I shouldn't fret as snoop is super friendly. Snoop barely paid me any attention, I mean there's a female in heat right in front of him so I totally get it. He just grabbed Mo by her waist, if he could talk he'd be like "baby oya se normal. face here, gimme love mbok".
Okay I'll just stop there before it turns to a Rated 18 "feem".
I was actually able to pet his head and even pulled him by his collar at one point, he willingly followed me. He really is a gentle giant.
She was bred for three days, the first two matings resulted in a slip mating , a tie was finally achieved on the third mating... the 15th day.

This is Snoop, the Stud dog. He's only two years old but boy is he huge! He really knows how to strike a pose for the camera, he low key would make a good dog model.

Although pictures doesnt justify the true nature of dogs,but snoop looks really big and massive I like his lean muscled body shape,he has that fighter stature.

Since your update is based on what happened months ago,I hope mo is now pregnant.
Re: Diary Of Mo: The Boerboel by sphinx92(m): 1:20pm On Nov 05, 2016
Miremoses yes o! Pictures really do not do justice, he's a very large dog!
As much as I'd love to, I really can not tell if she's pregnant or not as that will ruin my next update which I'll post ASAP, please bear with me.
Thanks bro.

Mo developed a very strange habit, it started when she turned 4 months old. We call it "Her ritual".
She drinks from a bucket, then puts her two fore legs in it.
Anyone else experienced this or my dog is just specially weird?


Yeah but its a Gsd anytime we give her water from the bucket she either mess the place up with water and sleep it or turn the bucket to a playful item

So weeks later, the question on everyone's lips was "is Mo pregnant or nah?
It was a bit hard to tell if Mo was or was not pregnant. Well at least for my folks, I would have easily been able to tell if she was pregnant just by looking at her, I know her too well. Sadly, I was away from home so this was a bit impossible.
Weeks went by and I didn't get any news from them. At this point one would think Mo did not conceive.
Oh well......
Until one Saturday evening I got a picture from my sister. It was Mo's picture & she wanted me to take a look-see.
I viewed the picture and Oh sh*t! Mo's tummy was huge! Yup, she's pregnant alright. At that point it was hard not to notice the protruding big belly that is staring right back at you in the face.
Then I said "Mo, I know say one day you go make us proud"
I am guilty of plagiarism as that line was lifted from kanu's Peak Milk advert. But at least I was creative enough to substitute "Papilo" for "Mo". Y'all should give me credit for that!
I was super excited that I hugged one of my female friend at the time for no apparent reason.
Mo is is going to be a Mother soon! smiley

PS: It's hard not to notice the innocent Lizard she killed. If you look closely at the picture you'd see the lizard in front of her legs.
PPS:It's only right that I do this, RIP Lizard, you were a good lizard, it's hard to tell if you are a male or a female but you lived a good life, you will most definitely be missed by your Lizard family. You are in a better place now.. #GoneTooSoon #TheFallingOne

Re: Diary Of Mo: The Boerboel by sphinx92(m): 11:43am On Nov 12, 2016
Konichiwa nairalanders! I had about two more updates but I have to skip them for this one as I just couldn't help it.

Two days ago, on Thursday the 10th day of November. I received a call around 6am from my folks that Mo had been restless all through the night. She kept whinning, barking, rolling in the sands and digging a lot. Mo was 8 weeks and four days pregnant at the time, it was obvious she had started having contractions and birthing will commence shortly, so I told them to keep an eye on her.

Few hours later, around 8:07am, I received another call from my sister, she just kept screaming at the top of her lungs, i couldn't help but do the same thing. Yes i screamed! I was on my way to work and people were staring at me with that "this one na mad person" Look. But I really couldn't care less, I knew it was good News. Then she said Mo had delivered the first pup! Yaay! I was super excited!

About an hour later, another call came in. She just delivered the Second pup. I was at the office at the time but I just lost focus through out the whole day. All I could think about was Mo delivering safely with no complications.
The third and fourth pup came shortly with about an hour apart.

For hours on end, nothing happened. I kept calling them if everything was fine. Mo was doing well as were the puppies but she stopped delivering. Mo delivered just four at the time. I was a bit surprised as Boerboels are known to have quite a large litter size, but lesser puppies equals less stress. So four puppies is just perfect really.

Then, I got a call about an hour after I ended the last one, that she popped out the fifth and then the sixth puppy almost immediately. Yeepy!

An hour later, the Seventh came.
Then another one, the Eighth. Then another one the Ninth, and another one the tenth! (Please ensure to read "another one" in DJ Khalid's voice). They all had about an hour apart or a Lil less.

Around 8:10Pm, she delivered the Eleventh! Mo was on fire people!
I really can not find a word to describe how I felt at the time. I was excited, sad, happy, mad, sleepy, hungry, hyper active, chill, I was on a roller coaster of emotions yo! I just had to throw in a bunch of random words as no one word is capable of describing it perfectly.

The next day, on Friday, which was yesterday, the day before today, 11th day of November, 2016, harmattan season, President Buhari's regime, at about 6am, I received a call from my sister that Mo popped out two more puppies, making a total of Thirteen adorable boerboel puppies! Mo is just an amazing "somebody"!

She littered the last pup around 11pm. The whole birthing process basically started from 8am and ended at 11pm. It lasted for Fifteen freaking hours!
Mo was hella tired and couldn't get up, when she finally got up and craved for food, she was fed a whole lot! I'm talking seven times! She deserves to be treated like the Queen that she is!
Mo littered a total of Thirteen amazingly adorable healthy Boerboel puppies! Eight Females, Five males!
Sadly, I got a call that we lost one puppy this morning.

I received pictures of the puppies this morning and I just couldn't help but cry! Tears of joy! Sorry men don't cry, we weep. So yeah, I wept!
This whole experience has been great for me, raising her from being a puppy to motherhood. I'm glad that I had the opportunity to be part of her life and watch her grow, Mo could not be anymore perfect! It's sad that I wasn't at home to witness it as that would have made everything perfect!

I love my Mo dog, she's finally a mother! smiley

PS: Five puppies have already been booked even though the puppies are barely three days old. People have no chill mbok.

All puppies are healthy, we lost that one as a result of Mo unintentionally suffocating him with her body weight.
I'll open a thread for them in a couple of weeks, the price will be somewhat affordable.
Re: Diary Of Mo: The Boerboel by sphinx92(m): 9:14pm On Nov 16, 2016
Mo is doing just fine after whelping, as are her puppies. They are healthy and strong all Twelve of them.

The only problem is Mo stopped eating, I mean she eats but not as much as she should considering the fact that she has extra mouths to feed now, twelve extra mouths to be precise .

I got a picture of Mo yesterday, I could barely recognize her. She has lost a great deal of weight! She's very very skinny, you could easily count how many ribs she had, it was that terrible. Her appetite for food has greatly decreased. To make matters worse, her Twelve pups are literally sucking her dry. Funny part is they are also bottle fed. Evil adorable milk sucking mama draining puppies! Their craving for food is like that of a fully grown 6 foot 9 inches tall freakishly fat bearded 40 year old man!

Our Veterinarian gave her a couple of injections. Thankfully, she's eating well now. I'm pretty sure in the next couple of weeks she'll be fit as a fiddle.

PS: this picture was taken yesterday, the pups are 5 days old
