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 ViewHere are the first 2 born. She's taking her time. It feels like it will be an all nighter. From left to right (boy and then girl). They are both very lively and eating. Now where is the rest?
Click on Photos for Larger ViewThird one is a girl. She was born at 251am. She weighs 40z 115g. She is brown and white. She has a double mask and a spot on her back.
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.

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.
