The two girls!
Purple girl head.  Notice the nice fill around the muzzle

Check out the marcel waves already evident

Great fill on her muzzle

pretty markings on her tummy and legs.

White socks and tummy bits.  White on chin.

Green boy (we changed his collar after photo)


Photos of Ginna's litter taken right after birth as soon as we got them dried off: 2  Boys are born white with brown patches and 1 is brown with white trim.

The yellow boy may keep his white bits but we don't know for sure.  He might change to Roan like his mother.

Green boy is marked like his daddy and likely will stay white in his trim areas.

Blue boy will likely turn Roan in the white areas like Ginevra.  Not sure, only time will tell.

Here is Ginna prior to delivery, sporting her WhelpWise sensor.  She was a good girl and didn't mind it.

Ginevra whelped a litter of 3 boys and 2 girls on Sunday 8:30 am  to 12:30 pm.  Will post photos and more news soon.  I am still a bit tired but Ginna was out chasing a stick this morning with the other dogs.  Wow!

We are starting our final countdown before Ginevra whelps her first litter.  She is still very active, but now studies the issue a bit longer before she jumps up onto something.  She had to have a "foot and belly bath" today after enjoying a romp in the resulting mud from all the snow melting.   She sure has not let the puppies slow her down much.

Adrina and Vando after a romp in the snow with John.  Can you believe this is Arizona?

Ginna is now 10 pounds heavier than before she was bred.  We just received our Whelpwise equipment and I practiced listening to heartbeats last night.  She was a good girl and laid very still.  The first sound startled her at the first, but she was good with that cold gel on her tummy and me poking around.  It is fun to hear those heartbeats.  With the doppler, they sound sort of like the clippity clop of a horse running.
