Spent all day Tuesday, beginning at 2 AM and ending at 6 PM helping Maddee deliver her puppies!

I sure don't bounce back like I used to after an all-nighter!

6 healthy puppies: 2 female; 4 male--it was worth it!

Tired.

Thanks. The pups are adorable & I'll hopefully charge up my digital & get some photos while they're still tiny.

It's a very active litter--right out of the gate (or should I say chute)! Maddee is going to have her paws full with these babies!

Vicki,

Congrats on the litter - I hope Maddee is doing well. Those are some seriously nice pedigreed pups - sure wished I could get one! Not that I"m biased about Cruise as a sire or anything like that ;)

Can't wait to see pictures!

We are just so pleased that Maddee is not having any complications. She is being a great mom & loves being a house dog. So far she isn't going bonkers from lack of training, but I suspect these pups will keep her pretty well occupied.

One of them "wandered" off to the far corner of the whelping box last night & I heard the outrage all the way upstairs in the back of the house! Talk about a set of lungs!!!

Vicki, when you post the pics can you post the pedigree? I may be the only one not to know!!! I think I can figure out who the sire is by Lainee's post!

Jeff, that is the pedigree. We are quite excited, as the whole purpose of doing this breeding was a pup for me! I don't have a lot of Cruise's semen left, so I don't do any outside breedings with it--just my own puppy needs as they may arise.

I got all revved up & put my digital on the charging dock. This AM I tried to take a photo or two & the camera is whacko. Red lines through the view finder & I can't find a darned thing in the manual that speaks to this. It's weird. It may be that the NiCad batteries are old & need to be replaced, but it's more likely that I have some unknown function of the camera turned on that doesn't operate well with still photos. Hopefully I'll figure it out--or go buy a disposable digital!
