BTW.... I want a boy.

Rugers, I thought you HAD a boy....
Well, I fell asleep for awhile and went in the dog room...she had a dead puppy she was trying to revive, very sad. I got her to get up to step outside, and did a quick count...there are still eleven. So she waited until I nooded off and had two more, for a total of 12 with one dead. I may not even bother hoping she is finished now. I will just see in the morning. Sigh.

Jyl, apparently Jonathan bought some of that puppy gold, but forgot to give it to me. So I will start her when he comes to visit this weekend.

OMG!!!! 12???? Soooo Proud!! Sorry for the one lost. I do have a boy, however he is only a pet now and forever until his hips get too bad :-(
What is your girls pedigree? Who's the proud daddy?

OMG!!!!! It isnt too bad now..wait until the pups are about 4 weeks old...lol. With the litter of 11 that Annie had that is when alot of the work started. The Puppy Gold that I used with Annie really helped her alot. Her coat stayed really nice and so did her weight. She had enough milk to feed all the pups too. She also ate about 20 cups of dog food a day..

Sounds like Bella is a great first time mom....so what is the final count on males and females?? What colors too?

11 BIG CONGRATULATIONS!!! I'm a bit scared to ask but....... is that the final count? No more surprises?

CONGRATULATIONS... lots of work coming your way!

As of 4:00 this morning, meaning nearly 3 hours ago, the final count was 13 with two dead. I think the labor lasted too long for the last ones to make it. They were two black females. I am still at eleven, but that's about as much as either of us can stand. Can you imagine? She had a litter like your average HOUND has.

I was paranoid for the last two weeks, as you know, because she got soooo big and had gained so much weight, big rock-hard belly. But two different vets on three different occasions counted FIVE and she had THIRTEEN? Wow. As I say, she is not a huge dog, averaging about 65 pounds; that had to have been an awful strain but she held up. She had been demanding a lot of food, so I guess I know why. I know everybody says not to overfeed until AFTER the delivery, but I just couldn't stand to see her pelvic bones sticking out that way!.

Looks like I have every color imaginable, including two black and tans. It'll take me a month to figure out how I got all the colors. The dad is a very plain, non-flashy looking dog whose whole amazing feature comes from his working. He's not ugly, just ordinary. Well, more photos to come as soon as I switch out her bedding again!

Jeepers! 13!?! Sorry that you lost the last two but even still - this is a huge litter. Talk about having your hands full! Looking forward to the pics. Congrats by the way.
