Puppies are here

2 Comments

With nothing really happening last night, we decided to go to bed.  I got up every 2 hours to check on her.  While restless, nothing much was happening.

This morning, she woke me up around 6am, and wouldn’t let me out of her sight.  Around 8:45 she started pushing and by 8:58 we had our first baby born safe and sound.  10.2 oz baby girl.

After a quick rest, she gave birth to another girl at 9:31 – this one was a little bigger at 10.9oz.

She rested again and with no assistance whelped her first son – all 11.4 oz of him, at 10:15.

Her fourth and final baby was born at 11:16 – another little boy – 10.9oz.    Yep – 4 puppies in 2 hours and 18 minutes – what a rockstar!

Maddy is a natural momma and she and the pups are dong so well already.  I have to resist the urge to go and pick them up all the time.

I am very excited to see them grow up 🙂

D-Day has arrived – Puppies are on the way

One of the first signs that whelping is imminent is to have a sudden drop in temperature.  I temperature check morning and night from day 58.  I dont want any surprise deliveries.

Maddy’s temperature dropped this morning – she is hanging out with me and in her puppy pen.  Although when I locked her in there, this was her face.  Mommy’s girl do you think?  Ha!

Cant wait to make the announcement of their safe arrival sometime soon 🙂

Watching…waiting….a watched pot never boils over right?

She’s sleeping a lot right now and we are glad to let her do it.  The puppies are all well formed and now just waiting for the right time to be born.  Today marks day 60 since ovation or 59 days since her first breeding.  Dogs can whelp from day 58 – 64 so we are confident there will be puppies sometime this week.

We are taking Maddy’s temperature daily – when it drops from 99 – 101 to below 98 we know that there will be babies on the way soon.

I’ll be in touch with the happy news 🙂

Beagle Puppy Xray

About a week before whelping, I like to do an xray to get an idea of how many beagle puppies we are expecting. That way, if labor stops and you know there is a puppy or two left, we can call for help and intervention (if need be)

We did a top view and side view. You can see the little skeletons – they kind of look like little lizards don’t they 🙂

From the top view, we can clearly see 4 – two on each side. From the side view, it almost looks like a 5th is tucked up by her leg. Or maybe that’s just a shadow. Either way, we are excited that there will be 4-5 puppies coming soon.
Of course, we need to get them safely into the world – so much can go wrong, and so we are hoping and praying for a safe delivery of all of them, no matter how many or few there are.

Beagle Puppies are on the way

We here at Kazuri are excited to announce the upcoming litter of Maddy and Slugger.  This is a line breeding and includes some gorgeous dogs on both sides.  I am excited to see what these two produce.

Puppy Sitting

2 Comments

Its been over a year and a half since we had a litter of puppies so when Alisha from Lockestar Cavaliers contacted me about socializing her recent litter, we jumped at the chance.  These puppies’ mom is Arrow’s sister Penny.

Baylea, Kinzie and Dollar were a little timid at first but it didn’t take them long to get used to the “small humans” in our home 🙂

What fun to have these little puppies in our home for the week!

Rose Classic – Portland Shows

It is my first time being on the road and staying away from home during a dog show – the Portland Rose classic is a big 4 day All-breed show.  Its fun to play around in the Best of Breed ring as we try to garner points towards our Grand CH title.

Over the weekend we got Select 2x and went Best of Opposite 2x which equates to 4 more points towards our title. Wahoo!
