leopuppy04 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 well I couldn't have asked for a more textbook whelping. Zara was restless all of yesterday and even though she hadn't had the temp drop, you could feel her uterus contracting at intervals throughout the day. By 1am last night, I decided nothing was going to happen, she was pretty settled and in my room so I would hear if anything happened. I woke at 7am, took her out to the loo, she was very clingy so I then let her jump back on my bed for cuddles. I could feel her contractions this time and could visibly see her contract. Popped her in the whelping box (not that she wanted to stay!) and within 30mins we had our first pup. 15mins later a 2nd, then a bit of a break, 2 more and then a bit more of a break and another pup. Mum is doing amazingly well as are the pups. A bit freaked out with the first one born feet first and I had to pull her out, but she is going strong now. I had help by the 3rd pup and they are all settled and feeding now. Done and dusted by 10:30am! Couldn't have asked for a better time for whelping! Breakdown is 2 blue boys (1 NBT) 2 black girls (1 NBT) 1 black boy Lovely markings on all of them :D. So proud of my girl. She was a real pro.

Way to go with the timing and ease of whelping! It's always so stressful when everything goes right, let alone if something goes wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey that's not fair that you got to have a good night's sleep and then she whelped easily in the morning!!! LOL Congratulations though and hope that little NBT girl is a stunner for you with the right temperament and desire to work too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopuppy04 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Thanks piper! I think it could not have gone easier if I tried! I was pretty stressed when the first one came but both she and I settled down as the help came and more puppies came :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldielover Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 YAY! Congrats LP & Zara - beautiful timing too - let you get a bit of sleep!! Sounds like she's being a fabulous mum too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopuppy04 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 thanks everyone! She's being a perfect mum - very attentive but not OTT. Making my job very easy. Already has hopped out of the box without force a couple of times, had a play with the other dogs before going back to maternal duties :laugh: I could have sworn she's done it all before! Ptolomy - fingers crossed for yourself too. Cider looks like she's got a few packed in there! GL - needless to say I probably won't do any more than pop by on Saturday if I can get a dog sitter ;-). See how she's going! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
