Evolving

I had no idea you were breeding from her! Yippeeee, I know we can be sure of some beautiful photos of them growing up. What a wonderful assortment of colours too, I didn't know there were so many variations. Congratulations to you all! It must have been very nerve wracking for you.

Yes they come in all sorts of colours. It does not seem that long ago since I took baby Alera to the whippet races and she had a ball chasing lures. Now she has her only little ones.

We had a rough 24 hours with things going downhill Thursday night.

Puppies are fine and Jazz is now too but she was running a temp and unsettled. Not much sleep Thursday night keeping an eye on her and a vet visit yesterday. She had the start of mastitis developing. An antibiotic injection and a day of keeping it empty and massaging it and fingers crossed we are over that hurdle.

Get better soon Jazz.

omg! congratulations How gorgeous are they! I'll take the one on his back in the second pic please :D Lots of puppy pic updates required too :D

Don't worry i think I am going for the world record of the most photographed litter of puppies.

And some other photos.

Congratulations Evolving! And what a civilised time of day to whelp. Mind you I am guessing you still didnt get any sleep as you would have been up all night waiting for it to start, lol.

Love the domino puppy - very cute :)

I did get some sleep. My brother dog watched for me overnight to keep any eye on her.

Alera gave birth to her litter this morning. Starting at 7am and going to 12pm. All went smoothly. Puppies are big and strong and eating well ranging in weight from 287 to 440 with most being over 400 grams. Alera was such a good girl having them hardly any complaints and so far is being an excellent mother.

She had 7 puppies like the xray counted. 4 Boys 2 Black/White and Tan and 2 Cream and 3 Girls 2 Black White and Tan and 1 Domino like their mother.

Congrats on your pups safe arrival.

We had an xray taken today. They could count 7 pups hiding in Alera.

One week and we get the meet them.

Congrats Andisa.

evolving - she looks gorgeous! Any guesses on numbers?!

We did not get a count of puppies. There were a few to be seen in the ultrasound.

I would say at least 6. She started showing very early on.

When I take photos of dogs at shows I crop the people out of the photos. Or really mostly just focus on the dog in the first place so there is not much to crop.

I don't really care for photos with people in them and don't do it unless I am taking photos of friends kids showing dogs and photos of dogs with the judges and group wins.

But each to their own I suppose and if people want themselves in their photos they are using for publicity then they can do what they like.

Here is my girl at 6 weeks. Poor girl still has 3 weeks to go and is already big.

Here are a couple of photos of Alera at 5 weeks.

She has been off her dry food for the last week. If I mix tinned sardines in with it she will hover it down. She will also eat any type of meat given to her.

Today I got the confirmation that my girl Alera is in whelp. It will be a first litter for the both of us.

A litter of Finnish Lapphunds due on the 30th of November.

Excellent news Evolving!!

I had the fun of cuddling and playing with some 4 week old lappies not so long ago now and OMG do they make VERY cute puppies :)

Thanks I am very excited about it.

She is only 4 weeks along and already is starting to get a little fat belly. There were quite a few little puppies hiding away in there.

Sorry I can not come. I am hoping Alera has some precious cargo onboard.

I am very sorry for your loss LucyCharzie.

Run free Charlotte my girls loved playing with you and were a little jealous of your ability to swim and retrieve the ball they wanted.

Alera is stunning!

Thank you I think she is a little bit special.
