Saffioraire Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 OH and CONGRATULATIONS Trisven, your girl made it look like she didn't even break a sweat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trisven13 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 LOL trust me Saffioraire she was a bloody big sook!!! She is a fabulous mum but she whined, cried, growled and barked her way through every contraction . When the first pup was born she jumped out of the whelping box in fright and splattered blood everywhere but by the time the third pup was born she was very confident and she barely made a sound for the fourth.

Jetpoint GSP Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Trisven, my girl did not utter a single sound the entire time but she didn't quite get what these 'things' were all about until puppy number 5 (which happened to be black like her ?Coincidence - probably!) at which point she promptly took over chewing off cords etc. However she wasn't interested in settling in with them until they were all done and she'd been outside to pee. After that she had a bit of a look, sniff and decided she'd feed them! I'm hoping next time around she'll work it out straight away! I'm thinking this is not unusual? By the way, so cute - huge congrats!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Baggins Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 I thought that there might have been a bit of the Texas chainsaw massacre by the blood on the sides of the whelping box. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trisven13 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Yep that was when she made the big leap out of the whelping box to get away from the alien! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piper Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Congratulations Trisven!! Jazz did the same as Marie and no way was she getting back in the box while the thing was in there, I had a few moments of panic at the thought of hand raising the expected litter of 8 or 9. Puppy number 2 her reaction was the same (but only 20 mins between them so no time for her to get over number 1). At a more experienced breeders suggestion we gently held her and attached the 2 pups, as soon as they attached it was like a switch flipped and she was off and knew exactly what to do with the rest and I gave a huge sigh of relief.

Trisven13 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Yeah we did the same. It was one of those times whilst whelping that I was really thankful for the experiences I'd had whilst whelping rescue litters as we had to do that on a rescue bitch once. She was honestly the noisiest bitch I've ever had whelp, even louder than the greyhound bitch who ruptured her uterus! If she was a woman she'd be one of those who grab their husband on the balls during labour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trisven13 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) A picture that shows the stripes on Yellow before they fade completely (ETA they'll be gone by tonight I think). I promise from now on that I'll only post pics weekly Edited December 11, 2011 by Trisven13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordogs Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Amazing zebra stripes on a puppy, I would have been extremely worried and looking for the GINGER TOM CAT that got to my bitch :laugh: Simply beautiful, never seen that before, love the blue puppies.

Trisven13 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I must admit I love the stripes and was quite disappointed that only one got the darker stripes - here is a pic of Yellow when she was born (not great quality as I was getting very, very tired at this point ). Fauve pups can also be born with what they call "punch eye" where they have black rings around their eyes or with quite a bit of black in their coats that falls out as they age. Those are the pups that are a stunning red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
