Click on Photo for Larger ViewFirst one born is a girl at midnight plus 1 second if my clock was right. She weighs 4-1/2oz 129g. She is a brown sable and white with a mask. She was born in my hands coming down the stairs from our bed.

One family wanted a girl, another a boy. Let's see what we get for the rest. We will be contacting more families after the pups are a bit older.

Click on Photo for Larger ViewThe 4th one is a gal. She was born at 3am. She weighs 4-3/4oz 134g. She appears to be a deep brown but may be black. She has lighter colouring on her legs. So far the girls rule. Though that boy is a stunner!
The 4th one was born as she jumped on my lap. All the amniotic fluid hit my bathrobe and legs and voila, a puppy.

Click on Photo for larger ViewSixth one born and I believe the last one is a girl. She was born at 354am. She weighs 4-1/8oz 140g. She has a half mustache, even double mask and a blackspot near the tail. She is brown and white.

It's been a very long night. Nathan crawled into bed at 430. I am still up till I can grab a few hours sleep to tide me over till the night.
It was an event filled delivery. All are lively, noisy if they can't find mom and doing well.
I can now go to Montreal not missing the delivery and knowing all are doing well. They certainly all are beauties! I just desperately need sleep. LOL
Dennis will do the night shift tonight. I will be departing tomorrow and Jon will be helping out till I get back.
When Nathan and Dennis get up I will try to get a couple of hours of sleep. Then pack. I will be back when the pups are 3 days old. I will watch the blog and get the idea of how it feels to be you watching and waiting for an update. I will update tonight then it is up to Nathan to carry the torch. You will enjoy his blogs. His sense of humour comes out.
Momma Safi has been cleaned off. She is doing well. She ate ice cream to help with contractions and then she had a bowl of mousse. She is now trying for a nap. That's a wise mom.

Been working crazy hours again and just arrived in Fonthill for the weekend and decided to catch up on your posts before going to bed ... Amazing what you miss in just a week! And holy cow ! Born in your hands! If I remember correctly, her first litter was very easy - hopefully this one, too.
Who's the daddy?
We are still waiting for puppy 2. dad is Stone. You are home late, Christine.
Congratulations to all! Six beauties from Saffron and Stone. Fitting that 5 gals would be born on International Women's day, well done Saffron :-) So happy for you Darlah that you can now go to Montreal with the peace of mind that the litter is born. Enjoy your time. Have fun with your daughter and granddaughters!
Oh my goodness they are stunning!! So happy for all of you that the timing worked out. What an adventurous night. You must be EXHAUSTED. I was so tired when I got home last night that I realize you must have been running on pure adrenaline if Saffi began delivering 3 hours later!
Anne: love you Women’s Day comment😊
WOW!!!! Welcome to the world, Saffron's babies! Congratulations Saffron, Stone Darlah, Nathan and Dennis! Saffron has such beautiful babies. I am still in awe, and ... speechless.
We are very, very excited and happy.
Congratulations,another beautiful litter, all stunning.
Beautiful litter, glad you can go to Montreal you deserve a treat.
The pups are gorgeous! Congratulations! The pups are adorable all snuggled together in the photo.
Wishing you a terrific time in Montreal with your daughter Darlah.
Congrats to all on the Safi babies! Appears was an easy breezy delivery.
Enjoy your Q-time w/ your daughter, Darlah! Mother/Daughter time is special! :-)
Beautiful babies! Congratulation to the new families. Saffron is a good girl, delivering before you depart for Montreal. Maybe she listen to you telling her you gotta go on a trip. That sounds like an exciting adventure, 1st born delivering in your hands while you are carrying her down to the whelping box? I guess she didn't give you a lot of "heads-up", that frisky Safi!
Beautiful ! Congratulations all. Have a great time in Montreal. Look forward to Nathan’s posts 😉
Congratulations to the entire Talemaker family. Oh Saffron and Stone, you did it again! What beautiful pups you create. I am so happy for all the new families. Nothing better than Havanese, imho. Radar (Stone's litter mate) is an Uncle again 6 times over this time. He approves; he has been watching me go through the pics and is smiling. Have a great mini holiday, Darlah, enjoy!!
Huge congrats to you all on all your beautiful new babies! So happy that all went well. Hope you can enjoy your weekend away!
Beautiful pups, and look forward to watching these grow.
Nothing is better than looking at the pups when you need a smile!
Congratulations! What a surprise.
What a great mix of colours! Congrats. I knew they would come last night. Glad all went well and you can go on your trip. Enjoy!
What beautiful babies !! Congrats to all ! I don't think I have ever seen a solid colour Hav before. So glad the timing worked out. Enjoy your mini vacation Darlah !
This is so exciting. I agree with Anne, very fitting to have 5 girls. Three years ago when we had Rusty, it was mainly boys. We re so so happy with our boy! What a gorgeous litter! Congratulations to all. Darlah have a wonderful weekend. Maybe you can sleep in the car a bit.
Nathan we are waiting for you...
Congratulations to all! Beautiful little ones. Bonnie is a big sister (from another mother) to 6 new arrivals. Enjoy your weekend Darlah, much deserved!
Yes, they are rather beautiful - each and every one of them.if I didn't have Kai....but I do. :-)
So happy it all worked out so well! Have a fun trip Darlah!
Congratulations to Saffron & Stone. They make beautiful babies..
CONGRATULATIONS!
What beautiful pups!
So happy for you all!
Congratulations, what beautiful puppies!
