Photos of my pregnant girl due to whelp in 10 days - Page 2

Great job Mom!     So sorry for the lose.

wOwww. congratulations to you :) that's a very good advanced thanksgiving gift for you :)) lovely puppies indeed..

how i wish that someday my GSD will also give birth as she always undergoes false pregnancy..

Sorry for the ones you lost, but still a nice sized litter. Maybe next time if you breed her again, do only 1 breeding for less pups??

CMills, I am afraid to tell you that was 1 mating done 2 days past ovulation

I have an excellent stud owner/master she has great dogs and a wonderful tecnique

12 is my bigest litter ever. 7 puppies is just perfect, didn't need 12 OMG no.

I mainly felt so sad for my girl, she didn't need to go through that much pain, I cried for her during those 4 very difficult births
She was so tired and just didn't have the strength to push out the last one he was 820gms I had to reach in and hold onto his feet until she could push him out.

7 will be easier and they'll all get a better share of her.  Sad about the
losses though.  No wonder she looks exhausted.  Well done to both
of you;  sounds like that was a heart-breaking last couple of hours
(or longer ?).  But the 7 look great.  Very best of luck with them, hope
they'll do you proud.

Curious question.... How long was the total labor?   Rose's seemed extremely long for her 9 (18 hours).

Fawndallas her labour started at 11.0am and ended at 12.15 am next day so 13 hours, it was so drawn out, poor girl was exhausted.

First 5 were all delivered in exactly 2 hours, that was when my OH looked in on us and said how well everything was going, he spoke to soon!!!

I always tell him to stay right out of the whelping area, he is such a jinx.

Congrats on your very nice litter -- the first bitch i bred was a 'big" girl and her first litter was 13 pups -- 12 were born alive -- last one not.

Second litter was 12 -  11 survived..

Third litter was 11 -- all survived --  see --they're getting smaller -- tee hee --

last litter --  16 -- but only 11 born alive - vet said uterus was way too stretched to get them out in good order -- still breathing.

so it was one live one - followed by a dead one -- then another live one followed by a dead one.  it was just too many puppies !!  they were big to huge --- all of them -- smallest one 15 oz -- largest 22 oz.  but 11 was certainly plenty enough. 


hope you don't dwell on the unfortunate losses too much ---  you can enjoy the ones you have -- and mom will have an easier time taking care of them too !! 



looking forward to pics as the little slugs grow up !!   ENOY !

congrats

Con Grats on a very nice litter, can you post pedigree on the pups , i am intrested to see.
