Click on Photo for Larger ViewFirst one born is a boy - the only boy. He was born at 213pm. He weighs 5-1/4oz 151g Nathan thinks he is dark brown and cream.
He was a tough delivery and the photos are not pretty. We had a lot of yellow as Ella had to push and push and anyone who has had babies knows sometimes the push expels lovely yellow matter. Sorry - no other way to put it. She had a tough time getting him out and he came breech. He lost half his sac as he was coming out so we had to not let him feed till we managed to get rid of the fluid. It is why you will see him over the side while others were born but in-between we got his lungs clear. He was not happy and she was not happy. As we rubbed him down he protested and when he protested Momma Ella was a bit frantic. What do we do with a boy making noise, human Mom? But as you will see in videos, he is doing well despite making the way for the other pups.
Here is the gallery. Ignore it if you don't want to see yellow on the 1st boy. He looks beautiful now and hey he is my hero helping the others come.
I am also busy uploading videos. You can check them out here. Dennis is sleeping so he can do night time duty.

All pups are eating well. They are all lively as ever and Ella is wanting to clean her pups non stop. This will calm down as it did with Cinnamon.
Ella is a proud momma but that first boy, although not the largest was long pushing for her but it did make way for the other pups to come easier. First 2 was breech. Last 2 were not. :-)
I am literally trashed. So if I do not make sense, I hope you understand. I am juggling.
To add to the fun Cinnamon has loose bowels - normal after delivery so I am cleaning her backend up - so far 4 times. laundry is sitting in the dryer waiting for another load to dry and another to go in the washer. I am blogging it.
Good news Ella seems to have settled down and has stopped making them the cleanest puppies in town. :-)
The pups - well they are beautiful and it could have been worse, it could have been during the night.
Although they didn't have them both on the 4th they did have them within 24 hours of each other.

So relieved to see that all is well in the end. I was starting to really worry. Beautiful pups, tough at first but you all knew what to do, daytime delivery, it’s all good. Well done Ella and Talemaker crew xoxo
Congratulations to all! Well done! And you got your 10 puppies, Darlah!
Congratulations to all! The puppies are beautiful. Never a dull moment for you.
Congratulations Ella and Talemaker crew. I am so glad Ella is alright. Just sayin’ -This is the first time ever I have guessed the correct # of pups for both Moms!!
Congrats to Ella and so happy to hear all are doing well!!
You must be ready for bed! Lovely puppies 😊💞 Ella is a strong mom
Wow, that’s quite a ride! Glad it all turned out well. Another beautiful crew.
Congratulation!!! And . . . sigh of relief . . . was concerned about Ella and her babies.
Wonderful to see they are well - - not to mention BEAUTIFUL!!!
Hmmm.... we seem to know an apricot sable. How interesting! :-)
I expected her to have more apricot sables. Have to laugh.
Angela - that you did!
Ellen - funny about that!
Congratulations! Glad to hear Mom & pups are doing well. Ella & Cinnamon have given birth to adorable pups!
Congratulations Ella, Darlah and Nathan! That was quite a ride! You are all my heroes.The babies are so beautiful. Congratulations!!!
So happy all are doing well - congratulations to all and well done, Ella!
You two are so remarkable. It’s no wonder all your puppies turn out so spectacular and the ones you keep turn into amazing moms! Hope you sleep soundly tonight!
"Ditto" to Sherry and Murphy's comment!
Congratulations to Ella 1st time mommy, and all at Talemaker. It sounds like it was tense at times. I am glad that all pups were okay. They are all beautiful! Two daytime deliveries, back to back...that is probably a first!
Nathan you make it look easy, but these pups look so fragile. It is an amazing process to observe. Thanks Darlah for filming and sharing. Hugs to Ella and her babies.
So amazing each time to see the births of these beautiful pups and how wonderful the Moms are and to you Darlah, Nathan and Dennis you are the best breeders and have so many thankful families.
We know there are many new families who are so excited to watch Ella and Cinnamons babies as they grow and develop and as always you will match the families with the pups that are right for each other.
Thanks,as always for sharing💕
High anxiety - but another litter of beautiful Talemaker puppies. Congrats
So glad to hear everyone is doing well. I was starting to get worried. Congrats to all !!
Can't believe 2 daytime deliveries. Hope you get some sleep tonight.
Wonderful beautiful puppies, Ella! Congratulations to you all. Hope you get some sleep, Darlah.
I am sure Ella will be a wonderful Mom. She is so loving. I am glad it is over. I am sure it was stressful. 2 breech - how painful is that?. I am so glad she has you and Nathan. She will love the little ones and being 4 she will probably have enough milk. Not that I am an expert on that. I do wish you a peaceful night. I can't imagine two litters in 24 hours or so. Really amazing.
Congratulations to you, Darlah, Nathan and Dennis. And to Miss Ella for delivering such beautiful babies, especially with a few bumps along the way. I can't wait to watch as these two litters grow and develop into amazing puppies with the wonderful care and guidance that you so lovingly give all the dogs. I hope you are able to find a bit of down town to relax now that the puppies are here. Congratulations.
So many beautiful puppies in such a short period of time. Congrats to all! Hopefully everyone will have a chance to get some rest!
Congratulations once again. Four more beautiful pups!
Ella did so well as a first time mom. Hugs for her!
Looking forward to many more photos and videos!
Congratulations! What an adventure! The first boy should be named Talemaker's Superhero.
