Here they are

After a long night in labour, Audrey had her 1st pup, a little girl at 5:45am, she was followed by another 2 sisters and 5 brothers by 10:10am, then we had a long break with a 9th pup, male, being born at 1pm, he was followed by another sister about an hour later, but unfortunately she was stillborn and despite my best efforts I couldn't revive her. So we have finished up with 3 girls and 6 boys. All are beautiful, some are darker than others and a couple have quite incredible pigment already. The web cam covered their birth and I believe that it will be possible to see a recording of it on youtube tomorrow, in case you had wanted to see it but missed it.

Audrey coped admirably, but is still straining a bit to clear what we believe is afterbirths (not all came out with the pups) so if she is still showing signs of discomfort tomorrow morning, we will take a quick trip to the vets, just to make sure. On the whole the pups are doing really well, lovely and strong, even though they are all on the small side (well they were 4 days early), we just have one boy who is needing a little more tlc than his siblings, he hasn't really warmed up since he was born, so as I type he is stuffed down my jumper, getting nice and toasty (hope that wasn't too much information, lol)







The girls have all been reserved now (and I'm allowed to keep one!!)  as have 3 of the the boys, so should you have expressed interest in a pup during Audrey's pregnancy, please get back in contact asap.
