Congratulations LizT And congrats to everybody else who has welcomed puppies this month Yes, it's definitely a girl oriented litter isn't it!! That poor boys going to be bossed about LOL Mumma has now been penned in with them as she was too busy following us about and not staying put. (thanks for advice BB) All sleeping quietly. Very proud of her first effort I must say. Here is a picture of the line-up; in order of birth right to left.

Trisven13 Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 That sounds like a dream whelping for a first-time breeder and a maiden bitch. I hope I have it that good when it is my turn (hopefully sometime next year ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can help prepare you for the less happier outcomes later on. A bit hard to get a kick in the teeth first up but sadly, in reality it happens.

dunnwarren Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 My silky bitch has finally decided to whelp today (fingers crossed), she was due last Sunday from her first mating (guess that one didn't work lol) Isn't she a thoughtful girl having them during the day and not in the middle of the night?

Ha, that's what I thought last Friday but she had a quiet night and popped out her first pup at 4.50 am without so much a a peep of noise from her or a pant prior! Caught me quite by surprise! How'd you go?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunnwarren Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Nothing yet, she's been nesting for 24 hours now, no pushing! Took her to vet who did ultrasound and he can only find one pup! Going for xray at 1.30pm. Keeping fingers crossed there is more then one huge pup in there, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunnwarren Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 (edited) The xray showed one very large pup so we decided for her to have the op and get him out. We are now the proud grandparents of one very large dog pup, mother and son doing great!! Grandparents broke once again lol. Puppy weighed in at 7 1/2 oz which is huge for a silky! Vet said there was no way she was going to be able to push it out so I'm glad we did it. Anyone need a foster mum???

Yes, she certainly has a few 'berths' free hasn't she LOL There may well be someone out there that needs a 'mum'.
