We are now just over a week from first mating. Nada and Scharko was mated two days in a row but I count from first mating, which means 9 days today. We will make an ultrasound around day 25-28 and hopefully we will then get confirmation about pregnancy. 
Waiting is always slow... 

Today Scharko and his owner arrived from Slovakia and Nada and him got to meet for the first time. They liked eachother straight away playing and flirting and it did not take very long until we had our first mating. They were stuck for about 20 minutes and this was day 12 of her heat. 
We will let the dogs meet again tomorrow and see if we get another mating or if they are saticfied. 
Some photos from today, a lot more photos of Scharko will come within a few days!

Nada started her heat on August 16th. On day 8 th of her heat (August 24th) we took the first progesteronetest which showed 4,5 nmol/L. So starting to rise but still under the LH-surge/peak. Two days later (today) on day 10th of her heat we took the second test which now showed 12,5 nmol/L. This means she is not starting her ovulation and within the next couple of days she should be ready for mating. 
Her boyfriend to be "Soro" CH Socrates Lakota Löwenschwanz has started his long journey to come and see us in Sweden. Him and his owner Milan are driving and taking the ferry all the way from Slovakia to be able to offer us and Nada a natural mating. 
I really look forward in meeting them in a few days and we cross our fingers that the dogs like each other too! 
Of course I will be taking plenty of photos of Soro during his days here so more updates will come once they are mated.
Nada is settling in with our pack nicely. She will be living with us until she is mated and then go back to her owners until the final 2 weeks of her pregnancy. Now she gets to stay with her mum, grandmother, grandfather and littlesister!
