I have a Pyr/Old Tyme Farm Shepherd cross and he is awesome. He keeps everything safe and is a joy to play with. He loves rides.

She's making baby feeders (bagging up) and getting quite round. Should be about the 14th....
Sorry, I'm just so excited I could pee and have to share it w/ someone...

Suggestions if I may? Make yourself a baby kit that will be ready for the big day...or middle of the night...lol,

I'm assuming that this is the mamas first litter? So be prepared she may be overwhelmed at birthing. NEVER leave your bitch unattended until you are absolutely positive she has delivered all her pups. When she is pre delivery or during do not allow her out of your sight outside. I've seem them pop out a pup and keep going.
Get her started where you want her to have the pups now if you haven't already done so.

Put in a kit :
an infants ear syringe to suck out any mucus in the pups nose and mouth.
A bottle of iodine, thread and sanitized scissors if she does not chew the cord.
Clean towels to rub any pups not receiving enough stimulation from the mother.
Get puppy esbilac and appropriate size bottle - just in case... you can use the esbilac later when you start them on gruel.
Heating pad to place under the whelping area, you don't want the bitch or pups laying directly on it.
Have on hand chicken or beef broth. Some bitches do not want to drink, it is very important that you entice her to drink fluids. Give her 50/50 or full strength - whatever it takes to keep her hydrated.

Please don't take this like I don't think you know what to do or as I'm a know it all [I'm not!] - these things I have found to be extremely valuable during whelping and offer them only as suggestions if you have not already done so.

Meanwhile.......... waiting for the big day!

Hey, my dogs want to come live with you...they feel cheated lol

I understand... and heck I'd want to be one of my dogs cuz they get better care than me lol! Honestly, I never thought I'd be this way, but every small life counts. I've felt such sorrow at not being able to save a pup, or have lost one at my ignorance...I know that I can't sometimes save a pup, but it hurts no less.

Thats why I posted what I did, I meant no offense to anyone.

Hey, we have similar lists for cows and goats, why not for dogs!
