Thank you.

Again let me note the Sire from Dogspan Kennel in Abuja. It's a slant back with a gentle slope. Agile, with a deep bark, beautiful black and tan colour. Intelligent, obedient and it's well trained. You'd love to walk this dog. My dam didn't really get along with him and they bickered at each other much but with two ties we have these 10 pups. They were a total of 11 but we lost number 3 which was still born.

Namdeenero:
Have never had a bitch whelp for more than 4 hours.. The time your pups are arriving are too far apart, I'm not sure it's a large litter

u ve no idea, my GSD started from 4am in the morning nd ended by 12pm, d the litters turned out fine 8pups to be precise.

honestly bro, ur work has started. a full time monitoring is required to achieve a healthy pups. in this case of 10pups, some will be deprived of breast milk considering the fact a full grown GSD has just 8tits,its left for u to monitor them closely nd administer already made milk like sma to the unfortunate ones. congrats ones again

Thank you much. Seems this liter was trying to catch up with yours.... smiles

Again congratulations! How is the dam doing? has she had something to eat?

Thank you much.

She has been picking up on the eating. Intermittently but steady. She is just too frisky about making sure the pups are OK. Then when they have a milk session she tries to get some sleep before they wake up again in about two hours.

Congrats

Seriously, I don't think I can wait that long o. Last time my Gsd started around 6pm and finished at about 10pm and I slept immediately only to come in the morning to see a dead pup. I tire for myself

Wow 10 pups is quite a number. I take back what I said up there.. Congrats bro

That's the mark of a real man.... he knows how to step back when he feels he's wrong. So you're The Man.

However you may be right after all as my discussions during the day while the birth was taking place came up with a few reasons for the long time. There was a birthday party going on within 80 meters of the liter pen. I also did notice the dam was stressed by the sound of strange voices within its territory and was always looking out to see what was going on and also protective of its pups. If I remember the sac for pup number 7 was almost out on contraction and as I heard voices of kids coming to the pen area I hurriedly went to shoo them away. When I came back the dam was up barking and sac retrieved. The stress of the environment got to her and she took her time. You didn't expect that number. I didn't as well. You're good Bro. Thank you much.

Is this ur GSD in abuja and where?

Thank you much.

It's day 3 and all 10 pups are doing well. Milking sessions are going on normally every 2...3 hours. Dam is gradually getting to normal eating portions but in bits and drinking a lot of water. I am also pleasantly surprised at how she's taken on the mother responsibilities quite fluidly. We have also been very supportive in providing meals, time out to ease itself and just allow run around time in compound... she's off in a minute though to go check on the pups and prefers to stay in the liter pen.

Kindly shed more light on the milking sessions.

Kindly shed more light on the milking sessions.

When left alone and the dam is lying down sideways about 6 pups if awake find the nips and start sucking away. I am mindful of one pup or two who cos of their size get edged out from those natural sessions. So I ensure a session where these particular ones get a full session and ultimately others as well in 2...3 hour cycles. This will also to allow dam to rest, eat, drink and probably take a lick.

Just trying to create a rhythm. We start at about 5..6 am till bout 1am. I am on standby to augment milk with SMA baby milk if I notice dam is not producing enough or feel the pups are not getting enough. The natural way is best of course but I'm ready to step in as need may arise. Over the next couple of days once I'm satisfied that all 10 puppies get their fair share I'll step back and allow nature take its course. You can't miss the two males and their biggest heads and sizes and a couple of the females who bully their way to seize a nip.

Ok I see! Keep us updated on how the SMA works. in my case, I used complan.
