Virgo's pups! - Page 1

Hi everyone,

Virgo is done having her pups, she started on Sat. morning at 7 am and finished around midnight!
2 boys didn't make it, they looked fine, just think it was the sack breaking before they came out.

She ended up with 4 girls & 4 boys, alive & healthy, 1 girl & 1 boy is sable, the rest all black & reds!

They are my 6th generation of pups!

Thanks guys!!!

Here is Virgo & her pups this morning, they were very quiet through the night which means she has enough milk for everyone!

 Pups are linebred :  4-4 on   V Don vom Haus Iris
  
You can tell the sables apart, that's neat, at first I thought everyone was a sable, haven't had sable pups around the house since Virgo.

If she didn't have enough milk, I was going to have my lab nurse some pups, I just have to include a pic of my lab pups, they are 9 days old today, and WOW, Claire has enough milk for the whole neighborhood!!!!!
 Before Virgo had her first pup, she went in Claire's puppy pen & laid down, I think she wanted Claire's help, and after she started having her pups, she looked in Claire's pen & watched what Claire was doing with her kids, probably for some pointers, Virgo & Claire are room-mates!

Atleast I know where I can get a back-up supply of milk!

Oh WOW Paula. No offense, of course- but Clair's pups look like little piglets! Very halthy and great heads. Love the tiny ears.

Congrats to Virgo and her puppies too. Adorable!

Always,

sorry mirasmom,hope i,ve spelt it right.i thought you were a 1st timer and was asking for info.on the likely hood of getting long coats.i,m not very good at picking them out at this stage.its usually around the 4wk.mark when i know which ones are L/C.at a guess from the photo i,ll go with 2.they look absolutely gorgeous.wish i could have 1 but only allowed 2 .council rules,not the old mans.do you live in the us or uk?good luck with both litters.

Thank you noddi,

I live in the US, and I am very curious to find out if Virgo has the LC gene, I know I have to wait for at least 4 weeks, I have had pups that were extra fluffy but were not LC's, this is going to be interesting.......
