Question:

Hello there... again!
I was wondering, since most of you who respond to the questions are probably experienced breeders, what is the preferred method of determining: ultrasound, x-ray or palpation? And does palpation really work? My first litter of Jacks is due in April, and I want to have all of the litter spoken for by the time they're 6 weeks old (even though they won't go to their homes till they're 8 weeks). I've never used any of these methods on previous litters (not JRTs), but I'd like to get a sneak peek at how many pups there will be! Just curious! Thanks...
