litter A - wilkomen to the world puppies

litter A - AMOUR .........The BRAVE SEVEN 💙💖🧡💓💜💗💚

10.6.2023 - 64. on gestation day at 18.00hrs, Stefinka began to have her first contractions and was gradually preparing to give birth. 

According to her behaviour, when she had no problem sleeping in the birthing booth at night, staying in it during the day, I hoped that the first puppy would be born in this booth. She began to match boxing in her own image. But .......

Stefiwas of a different opinion, which she felt was not quite right, and as she drained the fetal plug and water she hopped on my clean-coated bed and decided to try it in the covers. Given the first puppy, which was large, despite the hour-long push, she was unable to move it over the narrow birthing gate. She started to panic a little, and that's when she remembered that she was always safe in the bedroom, on a white cereal. She ran up those stairs belly-to-belly and sprawled into this beautiful snow-white flake. At that point, I wasn't really working out how the color of the flake would turn out, and I was praying that my redhead would make it. For the next 30 minutes we tried to push with her until our amazing midwife Zdenička, given the time professionally, reached into Stefina's bowels and behind the feet of a little galloper, Mr. Blue, who was already blunt, tried to pull himself out. With each passing contraction, we were all more nervous, and my great fears for my Stefinka grew by the minute.

Thank you and I am very grateful to Zdenka for her support and perfect labour in childbirth. Mr Blue had a respectable 660g when he saw the light of day and when Zdena pulled him out we both rolled our eyes at what a galloper he was. Others were followed within minutes by two female dogs, Miss Red,...... weighing 550g and Miss Orange weighing 640g. Both also had to be helped into the world by Zdena. In an hour, another female dog, Miss Pink, was born, weighing 580g. After that, Stefinka was taking her time again, resting.

It seemed like we were in the middle of the birth and Stefi was already very tired, working together very beautifully, putting all the babies born in and making them drink to get the birth going again, only the gallopers were still or not so hungry,

After about three hours in the next contraction, Stefi pushed and was the only one of the litter to be born unassisted Miss Purple with a birth weight of 560g, a very skilful and calm feline with a beautiful ridge, head and overall sort of perfect show dog since birth.

In another two hours, we welcomed our sixth female into the world, Miss Pale Pink with a birthweight of 540g, who won my heart with her first breath, a beautiful colour, and immediately began to claim her rights. She kind of imprinted on me. Unfortunately, while she is the most colourful of bitches, according to the first check she probably only took one crown on the ridge (although a hint of a second crown noticeable - we'll see after checking the litter at the 6th week). A princess with one crown. Her distinctive view of the world can be heard at any moment, and she can express her discontent very loudly.

Stefi began to calm down, tending to her puppies, and I found that the large litter would not be that large. Naroda made it her own way again. Quality is said to be more important than quantity.

We waited a long time to get rid of the last placenta. At a time of 5.45hrs when, after feeling her abdomen, Stefi appeared to have already done it all .... suddenly pushed and instead of placenta, at which point Mr Green was born with my tears with a birth weight of 550g (so no steps). He had been in the delivery lanes for quite a long time, so we were very worried, but as he is a very skilful dog, he was the first to start using even the back legs to walk, everything stood up very well. And at the moment, he's showing himself to be a gentleman and learning new things very quickly. 

So he was the first and last dog -- they sort of made these sisters sure of each other, like proper bros, one making his way and one, that breathtaking experience assured me last. Both at the moment of show quality and I hope to choose them the best owners for their happy lives with us and last but not least, I will hope that the trip to see their amazing dad in Italy will have a perspective for their not only show life. The important thing is that all the puppies are healthy and happy with their owners.

.... and I can't describe at this moment, the uncanny fear for my Stefinka, and thank you so much for the angel who helped me bring this, for me, difficult birth to such an impossibly good end...

Zdena THANK YOU
