Havanese Pups and their First Solid Meal

Leave a Comment

We tried a bit of mushy puppy kibble this morning and the puppies really went for it! It has been a busy couple of days. Yesterday, thanks to my daughter Jenny, they got their first pedicure which I am sure Phoebe really appreciated.

I think we’ve decided on a candy theme for this litter. So far we have Snickers, Truffles, Hershey, Peppermint Pattie, Twix, Twizzler, Skittles and Tootsie. If you have any suggestions, drop us a comment!

They might have been kissing….but really they are licking each other’s lips!

I Love Jelly Bean Bellies!

Puppies are getting very vocal now and moving around a lot though you wouldn’t know it from the video I took this morning. Once I figure out how to load it you can enjoy their little squeaks and wiggles. Meanwhile here are their first individual photos!

Three Days Old

Leave a Comment

Puppies are three days old now and gaining every day. Here they are resting and nursing. Phoebe prefers to nurse sitting. Easy to do with just six pups. Note that two we thought were Black Parti have lots of brown hair showing up underneath. These will likely fade to a tawny brown and white…just like their mama did.

From left to right we have:
Puppy 3, Boy, Black Irish pied, birth weight 215 grams-now 251
Puppy 4, Boy, Sable Parti (not black parti as formerly thought), birth weight 177 grams-now 187
Puppy 6, Girl, Sable Parti (not black parti as formerly thought), birth weight 198 grams-now 213
Puppy 5, Boy, Brown Parti, birth weight 213 grams-now 251 (huge gain!)
Puppy 1, Girl, B/W Parti, birth weight 240 grams-now 265 (my biggest but that will likely change)
Puppy 2,  Girl, B/W Parti, birth weight 164 grams-now 179

Havanese Puppies are Arriving

Leave a Comment
Phoebe went into labor about 7 pm tonight. She delivered her first puppy at 9:31. I was a little worried….that’s a bit of a stretch. Then I learned why. Little puppy girl #1 weighs 240 grams. That’s one very large puppy! Second puppy came on her heels weighing in at 164 grams. Another girl!
A happy mother to be!
Phoebe’s water broke about 7:30 pm. She’s cleaning it up here.

Puppy #1 delivered at about 9:31 and weighs 240 grams.

Two girls so far….both black and white and very strong!
