Here is the gallery from birth on. Some are messy.

 Click on Photo for Larger ViewMom is VERY tired but is eating well. Has had a break to do her business outside and pups so far are maintaining not losing. Her milk is in so we should see gains soon. They are finding the nipples so they have strong instincts. They look tiny next to Adeles. Tomorrow I will try to do a side by side shot.

Beautiful puppies!! Gorgeous colours (Adele's too, I missed a lot this week!)What a nice Thanksgiving gift! So sorry to hear you lost one but hopefully Roxie is not aware and you will be soothed by all the happiness and fluff around you.

Four beautiful boys. Roxie is looking tired but happy. Those are wonderful videos. The care taken during delivery is beyond exceptional. Roxie, and all the other moms, are so lucky to have such devoted human parents that care so much for them. True devotion and pure love.

Roxie is aware but she is doing well - so happy what she has and growling under her breath at Adele who wants her pups. oy

October 9, 2015 | Registered CommenterDarlah

Adele wants more pups to look after ?? !!! Someone needs to tell her that would be more work !

October 9, 2015 | Unregistered CommenterMaureen

Congratulations to you all! Four beautiful new pups! Roxie is a real trooper. And Darlah and Nathan - you are both amazing! We are so proud of you all!

October 9, 2015 | Unregistered CommenterLiz and Abby

Darlah, I can't believe you are still joking with the lack of sleep you have had. Poor Roxie looks tired but content with her puppies. They are really lovely puppies, I don't blame Adele for wanting to add them to her beauties.

October 9, 2015 | Unregistered CommenterAngela and Patches

A beautiful bunch of boys! So sorry to hear Roxie had a rough time with her deliveries and nature decided that only 4 puppies would thrive. I know how hard this is on you but I believe everything happens for a reason. Celebrate the beautiful babies you have.

October 9, 2015 | Unregistered CommenterKaren and Caelen

Glad to see the four are doing well, and mom looks so tired, but proud. Hope you are all able to get some rest.

October 9, 2015 | Unregistered CommenterChristine & Clarity

You all should be proud. There is so much work involved. Sharing the videos and helping us all understand the whole picture is a lot of work for you but helps everyone else learn what is involved to bring 4 healthy puppies into the world and
keep the mom healthy and happy. Thank you.

I just looked at the gallery again. What wonderful breeders you are. And, the pups are all just so precious.

October 9, 2015 | Unregistered CommenterAngela and Patches

All the pups are gorgeous!
As many of you expressed it is true all Havanese are so loving whether females or males.

I grew up with only female dogs and our first two dogs where female and our first Havanese from Talemaker is Breeze who is a love, but our second one I fell in love with a male Chinook and honestly he is the most loving dog and the biggest pleaser ever and was the easiest to train of all our dogs. They are both such great dogs and have their own personalities but Chinook is such an easy dog, but a big suck also..and just wants to please and is the best on instant recall ever and if walk without the leash he just nudges our leg as we walk. He was the star pupil in obedience classes too!

Just putting our two cents worth in about having female or males, just like someone else said about colour preference as that is not important as having one of these pups become part of your family who have been raised with so much love and attention and get so much exposure before coming home with you, so they are so well adjusted.

Take care of yourselves Darlah, Nathan and Dennis and the crew!

I am so happy to see the videos. They are so good and you can see how attentive and caring Rioxie is. Just like she was with Rusty and the rest of his litter mates. Talemaker family you are really special and wonderfully gentle with Roxie. The boys are beautiful. And they appear quite active. Look forward to watching them grow.
