Puppies coming soon!

[Farm Girl]

Our dog is getting ready to have pups. I think she is going to have them this afternoon.
YIPPEE!!! I just love to hold and snuggle puppies.

 

[Shara]

OH! What breed?

 

[Frosted Rabbits]

oooh, sweet puppy breath

 

[Farm Girl]

OH! What breed?

They are total mutts, but any puppy is cute...almost.

The momma is, 1/2 Rough Collie 1/2 English Shepherd.
The Daddy is,1/2 Anatolian, 1/4 Rhodesian ridgeback & 1/4 Fela (not sure on the spelling)
What mutts!

Terry, I LOVE puppy breath smells so good.

 

[Shara]

So excited to see pictures of the pupples!

 

[Farm Girl]

I think shes waiting for us to be gone to have them.
Gotta go somewhere tonight, and we will be gone tomorrow too.

She is so funny, shes laying in the hay in our barn, and when I come to check on her she just groans and moans. :lol:
I hope the pups won't be to big for her, the daddy is considerably bigger than her.

 

[Brody]

I hope all goes well

 

[Farm Girl]

Nothing yet.

They sound like they'd be great farm dogs!

Wish I wasn't in an apartment >.<

English Shepherds are sometimes called "Farm Collies" Fila Brasilerio is what you are looking for- a HUGE South American origin mastiff breed. Anatolians have a notoriously high metabolism- for some reason they need tons more food than other LGDs. I sure hope the pups don't inherit THAT aspect of their daddy's background.

If your dog hasn't had them after 24 hrs of what sounds to me like labour,(or past due date) you better get her to a vet fast! Sounds like she needs a C-section. But I hope everything has turned out well! Pups need to be in a straight line from their nose to tail tip in order to be born (or vice versa as half of the pups can be breech!) A lot can happen from a pup getting his head turned to just being too large to pass...

 

[Farm Girl]

I don't think she was actually in labor, just getting ready.
She still is not doing anything.
The place she wants to have them is in the house...NOT. :lol:
I wouldn't mind if she had them in the house, but others do mind.

 

[Devon's Mom Lauren]

Do you know her actual due date? I went through this with my dog and she didn't really act like she was in labour till 2 days after her due date!! The first pup to be born had his head turned sideways, we saw that in the x-ray at the vets. We took her because of her labour being unproductive at this point! So keep a watch on her and try to persuade the "others" that she might need to come into the house!! Good luck!
PS We got a litter of 5 pups and they all arrived safe and sound!!

 

[Farm Girl]

She had 1 this morning, it was dead. Hoping the others are alive.
I'll update you later today.

We took her to the vet the other day and there didn't seem to be anything wrong. Thanks for the advice DML

 

[Shara]

oh,m sending you pupple luck.

 

[eco2pia]

Oh good luck...

 

[Devon's Mom Lauren]

Ahh... I hope everything turns out ok! She look like she has more in there?

 

[Farm Girl]

Humfh, I guess that 1 is all she is going to have. It is so sad that it is dead.
I feel so sorry for her, she loves having puppies.

No more posting anouncments until I know that there is actually something to post about.
I thought that she was fatter than 1, maybe she was just in good condition.

boo hoo
i don't think your pupple luck got here in time Shara.

 

[MaggieJ]

Well, that is disappointing... but as long as momma is okay, that is the main thing.
