What a Weekend!!
 

I whelped down a litter on the weekend, the first in about 9 yrs, I had forgotten how much hard work it was for both me and especially the bitch!! We ended up with 7 pups, 1 dog and 6 bitches. The bitch was Summer Grace and the Sire was Big Daddy Cool, not sure how to put the breeding link up?? Anyway, when I start talking about having another litter with her, someone slap me!!:p:p

Good one Gippy-u forget how stressful it is. How many cups of coffee did u drink?
As long as mum and puppies are OK u soon forget how much hard work it is. The real hard work is yet to come. Good luck with you're babies.

Here's the breeding link gippy -

Hope Mum and pups are doing well. And you can catch up on some sleep over the next few days.

Thanks np !! Yeah she was a good honest bitch, a few lengths short of a real good one but what she lacked in speed she made up for with heart!! To win 18 races was terrific plus 32 minor placings and about a dozen 4ths. She is out of a damline that has produced the likes of Wine Glass, Hello Sienna, Taylah Ruth, Hello Big Boss, Hello Pop, Hello Pete, Hero's Walk etc etc.
At the moment I think all the pups are sold, but it depends on who actually is fair dinkum and not just talking shit!!
Yep it was a long day/night, but already thinking about the next litter:eek::confused::eek::confused::)!!!!

This pic is a few weeks old!!

Mate, where are all the black ones? I'm gonna breed my own one day. You are a very luck person Gippy mate. I hope they are all you want them to be when they grow up.

coops

Beaut breeding, beauty looking pups, hope theyre something special on the track.
Whelping down pups is absolute magic despite how draining it can be, its still the most amazing thing to me.

Ive got 1 litter due July 5th, and another August 3rd. Cannot wait lol.

Keep the photos coming lol

Thanks Chook!! They're 12 weeks old this Sunday and are pretty good little pups really, good eaters, don't fight much and are all pretty even!!! I've got some better pics so I will add them on here tomorrow!!
Good luck with the upcoming litters, what are there breeding??

Pups are so much fun, problem is theyre time wasters. How am i gunna get anything done when the pups are born!

Both my girls need c sections so i lose the joy of whelping but i look forward to both lots of pups.

The kids are: Hurricane Luke x Jaalee (July 5th) and Bit Chili x Kimba's Spirt (Aug 3rd)
