First pup is here. Male. Black with white paws and tail tip.
Sleeping in the barn tonight.
Pictures will come in the morning. I knew she would wait until night time.

4 pups so far but i am sure there are more. 3 boys. Last year she had 9 pups and only 2 girls. Looks like it might be a repeat. One girl is spoken for already so at least she filled the order

I went to bed at 2:30 AM, thought she was done. This morning she has 2 more, so a total of 9.
6 boys, 3 girls. Girls are either white or light tan like mom. Pictures in a minute as soon as I get them off my phone. I had to come to work today so of course I am a worried mom, but a friend is going to check on her in a while.
While this is not my first time with LGD pups it is a little cold outside, at least for me. Low 40s at night and 50s in the day. I have her in a barn of sorts but there is open ventilation areas so not heated at all. She is up off the ground with straw for bedding and straw bales around her for some protection from the elements. She is also in a wading pool, makes a great whelping box. I have a heat lamp on her but it is about 5 feet above her. I lost a hen house to a fire last year and while it might not have been the heat lamp, I am very paranoid of those things so no way to mount it lower and make me feel safe.
I saw something online that says the whelping nest should be 85 degrees. Does anybody raising LGD pups have them in 85 degree boxes? The only thing I can think of is getting a heating pad like they use for plants in a green house and put it under the wading pool and MAYBE heat the floor.
Advice please.
