Puppies Are Here

Click on Photo for Larger ViewFirst one born is a boy. He is a creamy apricot and weighs 8.5oz - 242g. He was born at 438am. It was a soundless birth. He was born on the couch and I feverishly called Nathan so he wouldn't miss but he came down to a pup already done.

Click on Photo for Larger ViewSecond one born came out breech at 459am and he is cream. Yes, another boy. He is a cream with a darker face. He weighs 9-3/4oz 278g

Mom thus far is doing well. Considering the size of the pups she has been great - not a single noise except under her breath.

Everything is fine other than me not sleeping literally for 2 days. Going to be interesting grooming today.

Stunning puppies!!
A silent breach birth????

December 11, 2018 | Unregistered CommenterMurphy and Sherry

Silent - just noises under her breath. Big pups so amazing no noises.

December 11, 2018 | Registered CommenterDarlah

By the way folks, big at birth does not mean big in adulthood. I expect raven to be smaller as she is small. It's the guppy syndrome. You can only grow as much as you have room.
