Lela's puppies

Saturday 24th April.

In the end Lela's whelping was very uneventful, thank goodness, and she delivered 6 beautiful puppies between the times of 1am and 9.20am.
Her first stage of labour appeared to be much shorter than Motsi's but this is her second litter. Once again we had perfect ridges and no evidence of sinus which is always the worry in the early days..

I decided to call the puppies after old testament characters and am sorry she did not have more as I had a huge list of beautiful boys names. Actually, I am very pleased with the total number of puppies as 16 is going to be quite a handful in the coming weeks.

I am really pleased that the numbers and sexes of puppies worked out perfectly with my waiting list, because someone has dropped out I now have a bitch free but I am very happy to keep It that way as I always like to have a 'floater"

The puppies were born as follows.

1) Adam, dog, born 12.50am 1.8oz, perfect ridge, white to the dewclaw on both front feet, no evidence of sinus and no kink in tail.

2) Eve, bitch, born 01.23am 1.4oz, perfect ridge,no kink in tail, minimal white and no evidence of sinus.
