Figgy has begun (and finished) whelping! PICS!

It is truly a gorgeous Spring morning and Figgy has begun the birthing process!

  • 8:51 am - a chunky black male (white chest/toes) arrived weighing 15 1/8 ounces!
  • 9:13 am - a female,  in apricot (could be caramel), weighing 13 5/8 ounces.
  • 10:32 am - another black male with white tips weighing 12 1/8 ounces.
  • 01:40 pm - Chocolate male - 13 7/8 in weight. He took forever to present himself.
Whew! Big babies but all seem to be doing well. Figgy drank and ate some food and is now comfortably nursing her group.

I can't wait until they are big enough so you can see the beautiful large splash of white on the chests of the black pups - so sharp looking!  :+)

It may be a couple of weeks before I will know for sure if the female will be labeled an apricot or a caramel. She could go either way. The distinction is in the nose color - if liver, she would be a caramel; if black, she is an apricot.

The chocolate male could stay chocolate or become lavender, like his mom - who was chocolate at birth!

    1. Right, Roxann! These are all very chunky and will be large mediums roughly 35+ lbs. I bet.
