Instead of partying and enjoying a birthday celebration, we are whelping puppies that were not due for another 2 to 3 days. So far, we have 4 males and 1 female. More to come!
Thank you for the responses everyone. We are through whelping. Ended up with 6 males and 2 females. Will try to get a picture up tomorrow. Have a picture with the first 6 but then the last two came 4 minutes apart but about 2 and a half hours later. The little female came first and was really struggling ( she was much smaller than the rest) but is doing much better now. She was followed by the last male who I think saved her by pushing her out so he could get out. LOL. I love raising puppies but the whelping always seems so stressful.
Here are Frenchy and her 8 puppies. The Sire is Master's Lone Warrior (Chief). He was the lone survivor of a litter of 10 that we had 3 1/2 years ago. He now lives in Reno, NV and his owners wanted a puppy from Chief. Chief's grandsire is Kiowa's A Place In Time (Freeze).
