Yep I did :) like most my girls always have there season's close together lol.

Please Add me I have Border Collie puppies Due on the 3rd, congrats to all thos expecting, can't wait to hear all the good news.

Not sure If this has been added or not but did a quick search and didnt find anything, I got an email from DOGS NSW asking to sign this petition. I am sure I read on here somewhere before about this coming in.

The email is as follows:

Dear Member,

There is an Online Petition for Dogs NSW Members who reside in the The Entrance Electorate, to be submitted to the State Member for The Entrance Chris Spence MP. There are two possible outcomes of the Companion Animals Taskforce, whose recommendations will be presented to the Minister in the next few weeks, that may have a significant impact on our activities.

There could be an extra level of Regulation but of more concern, your kennels may have to be inspected and approved by the RSPCA or Animal Welfare League before you are allowed to breed a litter, and you may have to pay up to $500 for the privilege.

Once we have a significant number of names on the Petition a meeting will be arranged with Chris and he will be provided with a folio of information to support our requests. Please start signing now and direct anyone you know who lives in the The Entrance area to this link.

Petition Link For those who wish to help fellow breeders that live in this area, just remember once it starts others could follow! The Entrance is located on the Central Coast for those who where unsure.

Edit to say it will come up as error when you click on the link but just go to the bottom of the page where it say "try this link" (option 2)

Congrats to all the everyone who had puppy's, I espically love the pugs I just have a sweet spot for those guys!. :)

My girl had her puppys this morning first born at 2.55am and last born at 7am, she done an amazing job for her first litter, like a pro. She had 7 chocolate pups all up, 5 boys and 2 girls. Like just said you always get the boys when you want to keep a girl lol.

There all healthy and feeding well and that's all that matters.

congrats to all those expecting and sorry to those who missed ,

please add me to the list as we are expecting a litter of border collie pups on the 17th my girls first litter

I to just received the email, rest in peace Alan

I think fluids might be the kicker. I put milk in the water but she still wouldn't drink it. But put it in a syringe and feed it to her and it's like she has been in the desert for 40 years.

I might call the vet and see about topping them up just until we get this sorted as they have started to whine and complain a lot more and I'm not happy with their weight gain right now.

My girl was like this last week not eating or drinking and the puppies where starving aswell, the vet gave my girl a vitamin b injection for a boost and an antibiotic injection, she also had bloods taken to check calcium levels etc all was fine so she was put on antibiotic tablets for a week aswell and after a couple of hours she was eating and has been good ever since, it was assumed she had an infection somewhere that was making her feel unwell. maybe your girl is feeling a bit off aswell. good luck

Congrats shelbyville on all your puppys, I got 2 suprise coloured puppys aswell!

First pic is of the one pup of which I am unsure of the colour placed up against a black and white pup to compare colouring lol

Very interesting. I have a black pup here who is the same colour and not a normal black. Could they be a slate or very dark blue??

I emailed to a couple of breeders all have different opinions, I have a blue merle in the same litter who has the colouring and also a black patch, one breeder thought maybe a shaded sable and another a dark blue, but with the blue merle who has the colouring we are unsure. guess I will just have to wait and see

and a group shot of them all.

Mum is doing better now so decided not to supplement, she is much happier and is now eating and drinking normally so now has a stack of milk

Congrats shelbyville on all your puppys, I got 2 suprise coloured puppys aswell!

so sorry cazzie for your loss.

My girl isnt well she has been off all found and not drinking much at all for 2 days now, noticed a lump on and thought mastitis but dosent seem to be it so had to do blood test etc came back ok, have to hand raise half the pups as per vet advise to give her a chance to fight whatever she is fighting.

going to b a long first 4 weeks

thinking of u cazzie hope everything turns out for u

What an ordeal gotnuthin, sorry for the lost babies. glad you got some healthy pups. congrats

My littlies are doing well, all gaining weight and have full bellys, looks like we even ended up with 2 babies being ghost sable's (thought they where black and white) but will have to wait and see as they get older quiet a suprise.

Thanks guys I suspect she just decided to abort the pup was really weird the vet couldn't explain it. She has 9 puppies now all healthy a couple of small ones I need to keep my eye on but all are feeding and mum is resting well.

We ended up with 2 black and white boys, 2 black and white girls, 4 merle girls and 1 merle boy. she done a great job and all where delivered from first live pup at 5.15am to the last at 10.20am.

We have had a long 24 hours, Maisy had a stillborn puppy yesterday at 12.15pm with no signs of labour bar the discharge no panting or digging. After no signs of labour we went to a vet for a check and all was fine with her and pups. So we waited all night and she finally started to show signs of labour at 11.30pm near 12 hours since the last pup was born. she finally had another pup at 5.15am this morning alive and healthy, so far we have now got 7 pups. mum is going well.

Our puppies should arrive some time today she has some bloody discharge, and some clear watery discharge aswell. no temp drop though!

congrats on the new arrivals!

My girl is 58 days today and I decided to take another belly shot of her laying in her favourite position

Wow c_bc, she is MUCH bigger than Lola is and 2 days earlier than when I took the photos..

Awww and I thought my baby had a big belly... lol.

lol dont feel to bad she had a large litter last time so I expected her to be big this time aswell

As long as they are healthy thats what counts

and another

Have uploaded some belly shots taken on the 18th March about day 41.

Congrats to everyone who is expecting puppies, and sorry to the ones that missed out.

My girl is very moody, and has been throwing up of occasion, she decided to start digging last night she has 15 days left (due the 10th) but expect her to go around the 7th. we are setting up her whelping box this weekend for her to sleep in at night, and get comfortable with using it.

Good luck everyone!

I have a litter of Unplanned border collies pups due around the 10th

I will add a picture later she is HUGE already and still has at least 3 weeks to go!
