SoL Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Congrats jerojath, excellent news and LOVE the timing Regarding Irish names, if you have any reddish coloured pups, Cu Rua (pron: Koo Roo-a) means "red dog". Apart from that you've got the classics like Cuchulain, Brigit, Dagda, Morrigana, Angus Og (pron Ogue rhyming with brogue) - these are all gods/goddesses. Bana Drui means chief Druid, Bansidh (ie banshee) for a howler lol. That's all I can think of for now On this front, Sunny's doing a great job of keeping us in suspenders! She's thrown up for 2 days in a row, off her food a little but chooses to sleep instead Must be gearing up energy for the 2am rush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck for a successful whelping. Deja hasn't been off her food but wants to lay around all the time. I don't mind as it allows me to watch the football match going on in her tummy.

ish Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Our pups arrived early this morning Had one stillborn bitch but ended up with 3 bitches and one dog, all doing well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoFyre Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 (edited) Congratulations Ish, sorry to hear about the one that didn't make it. Are GSD's normally that dark at birth and lighten with age or will they be dark coloured puppies? Edited March 18, 2010 by SnoFyre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ish Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Are GSD's normally that dark at birth and lighten with age or will they be dark coloured puppies? Usually born dark and fade with age to the typical tan/gold and black markings These pups should have nice dark masking on their faces though, the smaller/less tan markings as pups, the more likely they'll stay dark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerojath Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 SoL - Sending good vibes your way.... not long to go now! Any action at Camp SnoFyre? Ish & Whippets - your babies are all lovely! Will post some pics of my lot soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoFyre Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 (edited) Temp was down at 37.3 this morning and there was some lovely clear mucus coming away so I am sure it is not long now. Only problem is she is sleeping on MY bed in the whelping room I'm to soft to move her so i will let her get some rest while she can. Deja still ate dinner tonight but couldn't get all the way through. That is the only time she has ever not finished her bowl.

jerojath Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 SnoFyre - I know exactly what you mean! My girl whelped her entire litter on the sofa and she was so comfy I didn't have the heart to move her! Once she'd finished, she was more than happy to be moved into the box but not after completely ruining the sofa. The next day I had to buy a brand new mattress and cushions as they were wet with blood. The OH wasn't impressed..... Best of luck with your imminent babies!

whippets Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 They are sooo cute JJ. I should get some more of those vet beds. They seem pretty cheap atm (points to banner above). For whelping boxes which is better, green back or rubber back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
