Their First Litter

Daddy at almost a year and a half. He's an import from Romania and I LOVE HIM TO PIECES!!!

He's about the sweetest guy you'd ever wanna' meet!

He's HUGE and he ain't done growin' yet!

< Mama, my beautiful Shiyoko "YoYo"

There are tons of pictures of these guys and their pups. Simply click the links and enjoy! Pedigrees and pictures of their families are here too.

I'm so anxious for these babies to arrive! The last babies are almost 10 months old already. Time sure flies, except it seemed to slow right down and August took forever!

So what should we use as nicknames for this gang?

09/03/2019 Took some pictures of mama and Daddy today. Less than three weeks to go!!! I can usually tell by a month into the pregnancy whether they're pregnant or not. You'll see that she is pregnant but not very big yet. The pups are about the size of a baseball right now. They do the majority of the growing the last three weeks. YoYo wasn't very big her first litter so I don't expect many but they kept coming out!

Usually on a mission and not interested in striking a pose or any sort of cooperation. .

Daddy Ari is even worse. Only one of about five came out.

09/15/2019 Tomorrow is 63 days from the first day I put Ari in with YoYo. I didn't actually see a "picnic" until a week later. They could have been messin', when I wasn't lookin', so Yo's been in the house, in the puppy room, for a week now. Puppy breath any time now!!! The due date, Sept. 22nd, is 63 days from when I saw them having a "picnic". :)

Below are pictures of Mommy & Daddy that I just took today.

Course, Momma is the white one. She's actually a fawn and white pinto, you just can't see the fawn very well.

And, Daddy is just a big dope. He found the neighbor dog's tennis ball on our walk yesterday. The girls both just smelled it and left it. Ari carried it half way home and then dropped it and watched it roll away. Attention span is up to about two whole minutes now.

He looks smaller than Yo in this picture but he's quite a bit bigger. She's just closer to the camera. I think he's all wet from the rain too. He lays in the weeds and waits for us to walk by there then he pounces. Like it's some big surprise. Everybody just ignores him. hehe

Stay tuned!!! I'm thinkin' babies any day now!.

They're here!!! Born a couple days early just like the first litter. 09/20/2019

#1 BOY Born @ 1:20 p.m. He's got lots of white. His tail is almost all white. About 2/3's of it for sure. All legs are white and the white goes right up on to his back. He was rarin' to go and ran straight to the chow line.

#2 BOY Born @ 2:35 p.m. He too is a Pinto like his brother but with less white. He's got a big white spot on the left side of his rump. He's the tank and weighed in at just over a pound..

#3 BOY Born @ 3:20 p.m. This guy has more white on the back of his neck but only a little white spot on his rear. I think he's Mr. Lax and he may be the easy goin' guy.

#4 BOY Born @ 4:25 p.m. Another boy! Yikes! He's the smallest and the darkest. No spots on his rump and the white on his neck looks like a collar. I think it goes all the way around. EVERYBODY has white feet and varying lengths of white knee socks/hip waders.

#5 GIRL Born @ 5:35 p.m. Thank God!! I have two families waiting for girls!!! Well, this little lady has long white socks all around with no white spots on her rear. I think her tail is about 1/3 white. She's got a little white on the left, back side, of her neck and her nose is mostly white.

#6 GIRL Born @ 9:00 p.m. Again, Thank God!! We'll be able to tell the girls apart cuz this one has a black nose. Also, the white on her right rear leg runs all the way up to her back. She seems darker then the others too.

We'll come up with some nicknames to replace the #'s. I'm running out of ideas though.

A couple seem darker and one seems more golden brown. Course we know that they'll all get much lighter.

Mama's a mess but we'll have a little bath tomorrow. She's such a good girl !!!

With only six I should learn to tell them apart quite quickly.

There's the lighter guy. Not sure who it is yet. I'll check it out in the morning. > After they're all dried off.

Look at that cute tiny little face. He/she found a great safe and warm spot !

More soon. First we gotta' get some rest.

The Girls

I weighed the big guy, #2, and he was just over a pound. The rest are close but he's the biggest, at this point.

I think I've numbered everybody correctly. If you find an error please lemme' know.

How 'bout we nickname this litter after the gang on "Friends"?

The guy above has the same parents so we can probably expect little dittos in about 2 weeks.

< Again, same parents. That's what these guys will look like in about 3-4 weeks.

And, there's one > gettin' all grown up at 10 months. That's probably what most of this litter will look like when they get big. That's Miriam/Sake and Zircon/Jax behind her. Aren't they cool?!?!?

The "FRIENDS" Litter

09/22/2019 Babies are a whole two days old today! AND, they've got their nicknames. I don't call them by their nicknames we just use them as labels instead of #1, #2... Also an identification tool for their whole lives. Their new people get to name them whatever they'd like.

Not much happenin' today.

I'll label these later. Gotta' go mow the lawn before one of the farmers around here starts baling it !

09/27/2019 Babies are a week old today. Sorry I haven't put pictures up in a couple days. I had to put my Grommet down yesterday. He's at Rainbow's Bridge with his mommy and daddy now. He was almost 11 1/2. Mine was the first face and the last face he'd see. So Sad.

Let's carry on. Grommet didn't care for pups much. His daddy, Makato, used to bring big ol' bones in and drop them into the whelping box for the pups. Grom was more of a hands-off kinda' guy. I'll miss those two guys every day for the rest of my life.
