Bordernese Puppies (Border Collie X Bernese)

wow 13 puppys,,,thay are beautiful

my doggy had 11 puppys and wow what a night mare

that was...it is hard work for the owner to have so many puppys....good luck

I must fully agree, sleeping on the coach to be near her, watching she does not lay on one, and checking to make sure each one has equal time and full bellies, Making sure mom goes out for toilet breaks, and eating and drinking OK

but in the long run, so nice to see them bouncing and growing into someone's best friend.

No probs, Mary

So happy that Tabitha is doing fine after surgery.

I love when the first week is over; I get so nervous at whelping time and that first week when you can (and often do) have complications of one kind or another. Mine are just over two weeks and they're just starting to "play" and be fun

Can't wait to see your little ones develop.

Just a quick update only 2 days old and Tabitha is doing such a great job.

Nursing all 13 of them with only 8 teats..

I think they look bigger already...

Oh they are gorgeous and Tabitha is just beautiful (Dad's a handsome fella too!). What a clever girl she is, and yes, the pups do look as though they have grown already!

My original Great Dane had 13 pups in her first litter so I do know what you are in for, work wise, over the next 8 weeks or so - but the fun and enjoyment far outweighs all the hard work! (my girl didn't have a c section so at least I didn't have that to worry about!)

Really looking forward to loads of pictures and regular updates as Tabitha's new family progresses.

Congratulations!

What a great job you and Tabitha are doing

thanks Matt

I thought you might get a chuckle out of this.

Had someone email me and ask if I could take a picture of the males on one side and the females on the other.

Make sure their heads are facing the camera, so they could see their faces...

I was nice

and said maybe we should wait awhile until they are older and mom will not be so upset with me disturbing her and her puppies.

lol I find so many people don't get how stressful it is for the mom and us breeders. Taking individual pcitures (or even group shots...especially with that number

) is definitely last on the list of priorities, I'm sure
