Promise's Puppies at 3 weeks

Here are the puppies at 3 weeks of age. Their eyes are open, they are getting noisier, and beginning to investigate their area more. This coming week they will start playing more with toys and each other. Their teeth will also start coming in, so Promise is not as eager to let them nurse. We have one more week before the puppies will start eating some puppy mash.

Promise's Puppies at 2 weeks

The puppies are nice and fat, as you can see. They are growing so fast and will begin to get their eyes open this coming week. Their coats are shiny and soft.

Below is a picture of Eli, who is one of Promise and Legend's puppies from their litter last year.

Promise's Puppies at one week

Here are some photos of Promise's puppies at one week of age. They have all been gaining weight very well and are quite content.

Hope and Legend's 2009 Puppies

Pictured below are puppies from Hope and Legend's 2009 litter of puppies. We expect another great litter of exceptional puppies from these two dogs this summer - July 2010. Please go to my website at www.labradoodlesatmountainview.com for more information and to apply for a puppy from this upcoming litter.

Here we go... Promise's puppies are here!

That makes the litter - 4 males and 2 females. All are resting well

This male came at 3:00 a.m. and weighed in at 11 5/8.

This girl came right on the heels of her brother at 1:25 weighing in at whopping 12 1/4!

Number 4 is a male, smallest so far - 9 3/4 oz.
Three puppies nursing. The puppies stimulate contractions by nursing, so we put them on in between deliveries.

Here is the first girl - weighing in at 10 1/8 oz and born at 11:57 p.m. Another healthy puppy!
Here are the two boys nursing. They are already strong and latch on well.
Puppy number two is a male, born at 10:57 p.m. Both boys weigh about 10 3/4 oz - nice sized puppies and full of vim and vigor!
Puppy number one is a male. He was born at 9:45 p.m. Could be a long night ahead...

Promise and Puppy Preparation

Well she "fooled" us yesterday and didn't have her puppies. Maybe today will be the day?

Here is Promise showing off her fat tummy. We can feel the puppies moving and sometimes even see ripples across her stomach. So far, the waiting game is on - maybe they'll be April Fools Day puppies?
