Bianca produced 6 healthy, vigorous pups on Tuesday, November 18th. I co own Bianca but she lives with Nancy Olson, her husband, and her two children in Seattle. The plan was for me to start sleeping over at their house on Tuesday night so I could help them whelp the litter. She was due on Thursday/Friday. Bianca had other plans though and decided to have the pups 2 days early and to also continue the Moonsong tradition of having pups in the daytime- almost all of my litters have been daytime litters. I was at work when I received the call that Bianca was trembling and really restless and her temperature had dropped. I rushed to finish work and get to Nancy's house as she had never whelped a litter before. By the time I got there, the pups had all been born and mom and pups were doing fine. Nancy and her family did a great job supporting Bianca and Bianca did an amazing job and whelping, cleaning, and feeding the pups.
The three handsome boys. Mr Red looks black in the pictures but is actually a very dark tawny. he will end up Bianca's color or a little darker when he grows up. Mr . Purple is also darker but Mr. Grren may end up looking like his dad- a tawny palomino.
The three beautiful girls
I set the pups on a white towel to take pictures as finding pups on the quilt we were using is like playing Where's Waldo!
A job well done- Bianca rests after all her pups are dry and fed
Bianca is a good mom
The pups hang out in the "ready box" as the blanket in the whelping box gets changed
The new blue blanket makes the pups stand out much better for photos
He is very hard to see but mr red is the dark blob in the center of the photo. He is getting some cuddles from mom
