Loving the herd life
Well Winnie delivered 10 white Pyr pups yesterday! Definitely no surprise genetics as they are all pure white and nearly identical. Unfortunately one didn't make it through the night, not sure what happened, a big darling female. I know its all part of being on a farm and we don't know what happened, I just hope all the rest make it.
Winnie was a real champ but soooo very protective, I guess what else do you expect from a LGD. Yesterday she did not want me near her pups, she allowed me to come into the kennel/run but as cautiously went to turn a newborn pup towards her she barked at me with her full force and did not stop until I had that latch shut....okay, point taken. Today she was more relaxed and seems to be well oriented, pups are nursing well and she keeps them contained in a pile...Good Winnie!
If anyone is looking for a Pyr in BC or Alberta, perhaps even Washington...let's talk.
Pics to come but right now they are all a mess of white buried in more white fur...doesn't exactly make for great pictures.
