A Cali birth

I hope not - while dogs keep their whelping pen clean by eating the mess, it is nevertheless, not something you'd want in your pride and joy.

Meg, Jess, Jess's first poo and Meg and Jess's mess above the poo.

Welcome to the 9 pups born this afternoon and evening - 8 girls and 1 boy. Mum taken to motherhood brilliantly and all doing well so far.

9 pups - wow!

It is great watching a dam whelping, and seeing how she instinctively knows what to do, cleaning each pup to stimulate movement, and nudging it into her body for food and warmth.

Congratulations to this grand addition to the California family.

Posted this on another thread but can't reply any more.
So in answer to the questions. Ellie is a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. There are 9 pups - 8 girls and 1 boy. No formal names as yet. I am planning to keep a bitch - and Ellie's daughter in Ice Age is called Peach(es). The one boy however is turning into a bit of a plump pup and has already got the nick name 'Manny' (again, Ice Age - he's not fat but has fat fur...). So looks like I may end up keeping two... so need to reorganise the van, eek!

I'm sure this <link> could be re-converted into bedrooms and kennels:

Hope we get to see them on the next meet.....or are you grounded?!

11 - I have 2 already and 9 pups... so almost 101 dalmations, without the 0...

 

[AlisonF]

Been a scary few days as Blue and Green weren't gaining weight and Blue started to lose weight. Second pick shows some improvement after feeds every 3-4 hours.
Final pic was taken today as we I introduced Blue to agility at Crufts. All 9 then watched my trainer represent Scotland in the International Agility Comp at Crufts (pity their eyes and ears aren't open yet...!)

 

[Borris]

Definitely shades of the hundred and one Dalmatians! How about Lucky for the boy pup?

 

[Amarillo]

I bought those collars when Meg had her puppies, but never used them - border collies have such distinctive collar markings at birth that they were not necessary. I can now see the need with your pups.

I am trying to learn the differences so I can take the collars off for a professional photo shoot in 3 weeks. Hopefully by then their personalities will also have developed more which will help...

Nice - but sticking with the hairy mammoth theme from Ice Age I'm calling him Manny at the moment...

Below is Jess at 2 days old:

Below is Dixie at the same age:

You can see how distinctive their collars are for identification.

You are lucky!
I have 2 with no facial markings and one is a boy. So those 2 are sorted.
Then 7 with some facial markings.
One has a white sock. So that leaves 6.
2 with mainly a nose blob (similar to mum) and 4 with nose and head blobs - but because some of the head blobs are small it's hard to tell them apart without other details... give me a couple of weeks and I'll have it sorted.

Congratulations on your puppies, we have been looking into this breed as we are currently seeking a new puppy, I know this is a long shot but are they all spoken for?
