Dukino decided that she couldn't wait until the due date and decided to bring her babies into the world a few days early on the 19th of November. We were quite impressed with how quickly and smoothly the whelping was with the action beginning just after 9am and finishing just after 2pm. We introduced 4 girls and 2 boys into the world and had started to pack up when Arn decided to surprise us with his presence after hiding himself from having his picture taken when we went in for the X-Ray the week before! So with a new count of 4 girls and 3 boys everyone was settled in to begin their new lives on the outside.
The puppies and Dukino have since been for their initial vet check and everyone has been given the all clear and are healthy and putting on weight. Dukino has taken to motherhood like a natural and is hardly leaving her babies alone! Some individual puppy photos can be seen on our Alpha Litter page and more updates will be done as the puppies grow and change over the coming weeks!
A HUGE thank you goes out to Terri for all of her advice and help so far and for breeding our lovely girl Dukino. She is an amazing part of the family and always surprises me with how smart she is! Further thanks go to Jacq and Bianca for allowing Lumi to father these lovely bundles of joy, Lumi is an outstanding boy with a fantastic temperament and he complements Dukino in almost every way!
Further thanks go to Meagan (Anders and Abigail especially thank you for helping extra with their lungs ;) ), Nicole, and Terri for rushing over to assist with the whelping!
And of course thank you to everyone else else who has helped and offered their advice along the way! We wouldn't have made it to this point without you!
