Fertility in weimaraners

18 13:28:43

Question
I have a 11yr old weimaraner that may have been breed.  What is the fertility expectance for that age?  I have not seen her cycle over the last year and I am hoping that it did not take.  Should i be expecting a litter in next two months?

thank you

Answer
Hi Darin

It really depends on your female.  At 11 her eggs are going to be pretty worn out.  She may still be able to conceive a singleton or two but I wouldn't expect much.  

It's possible that she had a silent heat last year however, it wouldn't hurt to have her x-rayed in 50 days.

Let me know how it turns out. Good luck
