We have some new pictures today! Look on the right sidebar and you will see that 3 of our new pups now have their own photo album; Sandy, Daisy & Dozer II.

Pups are doing great! They had their first drink of milk from a dish. The pups are also teething and have started to push through their bottom eye teeth.

Lots of playing and wrestling happening now. They love to try and pin each other down and jump on top.

Walking is really coming along well, all pups are traveling on all fours now.

Bath time went very well also. No one seemed to mind it and they actually seem to enjoy being in the water and getting cleaned up.

We are still looking for a suitable match for pup #2.

Can you believe its been 2 weeks already since these little ones were born!

They are growing up so quickly. Everyday they are learning new things and developing more and more.

They have now opened their eyes and are taking in the world around them. Their ears are opening and they are beginning to hear and react to sound.

Puppies are all learning now how to tuck their hind feet under them and walk on all fours; this has yet to be mastered but they are working very hard at it.

Today pups are having their Strongid treatment to get rid of any parasites or worms that they may have.

We also have some great news! Three of our pups have been matched with new homes! Only one more pup left to place. Pup #2 is still waiting for his match.

New pictures coming very soon!

Things are well with the pups.

Yesterday they all had their dew claws removed and things went smoothly. Removing dew claws can be tricky and sometimes they do come back but its rare.

Tails are looking great and healing very quickly. No problems and no one seems to be bothered by it at all.

Cords have fallen off and only a small mark on the “belly button” remains. Healing is going very well and everyone looks great!

Malfoy is healing very quickly and is already back to her old self, always looking for snuggles and kisses. She has been coming out of the box more and more and is starting to take a few minutes for herself throughout the day.

Pups have grown so much this week, you can see a huge difference in size since they were born. Everyone is gaining weight and nursery regularly.

August 8th 2008,

Pups had their tails docked today. Everything went well and everyone is happily nursing and sleeping back in the whelping box.

Malfoy is doing very well, she went outside a few times today and had a short walk around the yard.

If you would like to contact us you can do so via the below form. Be sure you enter all of the information correctly so that we may get in touch with you.

Thanks.

We are pleased to announce that the new puppies have arrived!

This was a very long and tiresome whelp for our Dam and for us.

1:00am August 6th 2008

Malfoy began her panting, shaking and nesting. (Stage One)

5:00am August 6th 2008

Malfoy decided that there was to be no sleeping and that we were to stay with her at all times. The panting, shaking and nesting continued throughout the morning.

10:00am August 6th 2008

After nine hours of panting and no signs of pushing we decided to have our vet take a look. No problems were found and everything was good to go, just moving very slowly. More panting, nesting and shaking. We continued to take Malfoy out to the washroom every two hours so she could clean out her bowls and bladder.

1:00pm August 6th 2008

Tried to sneak in a nap to catch a bit of sleep however, Malfoy would not allow it; she wanted us awake and with her at all times.

5:00pm August 6th 2008

Vet called to check up and see how things were going and to let us know she would be heading home for the day should we need her.

6:05pm August 6th 2008

First large fluid discharge (water break). Much heavier panting and nesting now, shaking as well.

7:00pm August 6th 2008

Pushing begins! (Stage Two) Good contractions every few minutes.

8:00pm August 6th 2008

Half of the sack appears but doesn’t look quite right… Rather than a head we are presented with two rear feet. Grasping the two feet gently between fingers we smoothly but firmly guide the pup out.

First puppy is born! Female fawn boxer, white flashy paws, white on chest, small white marking on the back of the neck, dark mask around eyes, white up the face and a pretty pink nose.

The sack is broken, face is cleaned with a dry fluffy towel to remove fluid from the nose and mouth and the cord is then cut. Malfoy then cleans up the new born and allows feeding.

Panting picks up again and we wait.

10:00pm August 6th 2008

Sack appears and is quickly pushed out. Sack is broken, airways cleared and cord is cut. Second pup is born! Male fawn boxer puppy. White paws, white up the face, white chest and white marking on the back of the neck. Very smooth delivery.

Malfoy continues to let the first born feed while she cleans up #2. Once he has been cleaned she guides him to feed with his sister.

By this point our Dam is getting very tired, it has been 21 hours labor so far. She only pushes now on very large contractions and is trying to save strength. She is still happy and content, no signs of distress or abnormal discomfort.

1:00am August 7th 2008

Now 24 hours since labor began the third puppy is born! Male charcoal brindle boxer, white paw tips, small white markings on tummy and a small white marking on nose. Delivery was long but very smooth. Airways cleaned and cord cut. Malfoy cleans up this pup and then guides him to feed with the others.

Malfoy now decides that she will rest her head for a few minutes between contractions.

4:00am August 7th 2008

At last the final puppy arrives! Female fawn boxer, white around her collar, tall white socks on the front paws and short white socks on the rear paws, white markings up the face and on the tummy, and a pretty pink nose. Her airways are cleaned and cord is cut. Pup is quickly cleaned up and placed with her kin.

Malfoy is then checked and cleaned up. Pups are placed in a basket while the whelping box is cleaned and fresh blankets are laid out. Malfoy and pups are then placed back in the fresh whelping box and all soon fall fast asleep.

5:00am August 7th 2008

The house is quiet, mother and puppies are all resting. All is well with the new litter.

9:00am August 7th 2008

Vet calls to see how thing went through the night. We give her the details and she is pleased to hear that all is well. We book our appointment for Malfoy’s checkup, puppies checkup and vaccinations.
