WEEK 2 FLEW…

Can’t believe these little rascals are already 2 weeks old tomorrow! And my have they grown! All of them have tripled in weight.  Some of them are packing on the oz more than others, but they are all so cute and most importantly HEALTHY!

This picture gives a good idea of our size differences. Orchid our smallest female next to Honey our biggest female right now!

Now let’s spotlight our pups

ORCHID: Though she be little, she be fierce. This little lady is the hardest to weigh at night, she is soooo wiggly. She was also the first to start opening her eyes this week!

ROSE;  This gal is pretty low maintenance so far and just loves cuddling with her siblings! Size wise she is average!

HONEY: This girl is a fatty for sure, our biggest female.  She can sleep through anything, well anything except feeding time! She is constantly cracking me up with her funny sleeping positions!

AMBER: Like her sister Rose she’s not too big, and not too little, she’s just right! She is a little more independent from her siblings though and can be found lounging alone occasionally.

My daughter interrupted her photo shoot, to give her some loves…..

COBALT: This guy is the biggest of the bunch and his wrinkles just kill me! He is a cuddler for sure though, and is quite entertaining with his sleeping positions as well.  He has no problems sprawling out!

SCARLET: She’s large but lean.  She is always striking posh poses.  She’s our supermodel pup i think…she was also the quickest in figuring out the whole ‘walking’ thing!

Week 2 was much like week 1 with all the sleeping and eating…..

20150513-IMG_9363

And with 5 siblings there is never a shortage of vizsla pillows.

We’ve got some noisy eaters, and there’s no question that feeding time is on!

20150513-IMG_9412

Some pups tap out sooner than others….

20150513-IMG_9415

those little paws!

20150513-IMG_9414

The silence that follows feeding time is haunting….and this is what it usually looks like.

20150514-IMG_9424

Some more of those funny poses i was talking about.

More exciting and fun things this week are pup’s eyes have started opening

20150519-IMG_9781

And they are becoming quick pros at walking!

20150519-IMG_9818

20150519-IMG_9796

With their eyes opening they are checking out the shadows on the wall of the whelping box…

20150519-IMG_9811

Seriously this girl sleeps through weigh ins, photoshoots, and mamma’s baths..

20150519-IMG_9798

she even eats in her sleep….

20150519-IMG_9807

The numbers on the scale aren’t the only things growing. Pups nails were in need of a trimming. While Jeff was trimming up Orchid’s she started trying to snack on his fingers.

20150518-IMG_9750

20150518-IMG_9757

Pups also outgrew their ribbons this week and got some fresh ones!

20150518-IMG_9759 

Since pups are figuring out life, and going longer between feedings, Ruby has been able to spend a little time away from the kids and takes her breaks with her people! We’ve loved seeing a little more of this devoted mamma!

20150513-IMG_9401

Rusty  never ceases to make me pause with his majestic posings doing every day dog things like looking out the window….he’s kind of a big deal around here!

20150518-IMG_9737

20150518-IMG_9743

Pups Have ARRIVED!

Just like with any momma nearing delivery Ruby was starting to get big and a bit uncomfortable towards the end of her first pregnancy! She would just sleep and sprawl out on the living room floor!

Even pregnancy looks good on this gal!

20150502-IMG_9305

20150502-IMG_9340

She loves her daddy….

Ruby whelped the pups Wednesday beginning around 9:30 am. I had been monitoring her temp and it had dropped a couple degrees the evening before so we figured Wednesday would be the day!  My parents are staying with us, so i was excited that i may have some help this time around (Ginger always loved to whelp her pups when i was here alone)  Well, my dad was off to work, then Jeff a few hours later, and then a few hours later still my mom left, not even 5 minutes after my mother had left Ruby began panting!  Of course!  Alrighty, I knew it was about show time, so I wanted to let Rusty and Ginger out to go potty before I kenneled them up. Of course Ruby went out with them, and I watched her closely as she looked like she was trying to poop, and I then saw pre-birth liquid coming from her vagina.  I rushed her inside and into the whelping box where I could see the first pup already bulging out. Puppy time!

First pup was born at 9:31am ORCHID (female):

Next pup came shortly after at 9:54 am ROSE (female):

20150507-IMG_0150

20150509-IMG_9264

Again about 20 minutes later at 10:12 am HONEY (female):

20150509-IMG_9357 

20150507-IMG_0243

Just as I finished with Honey we were joined  at 10:23 am by AMBER (female):

20150509-IMG_9334

20150507-IMG_0295

We had a 2 hour break , where I eventually had Ruby take a few laps down the hallway to keep things moving along….

At 12:10 pm we met our first male COBALT:

20150509-IMG_9351

20150507-IMG_0272

Then our final pup made it’s debut at 12:34 pm SCARLET (female):

20150509-IMG_9325

20150507-IMG_0264

That’s right folks 5 FEMALES, and 1 MALE!  So crazy.  We had recieved 3 male deposits, so this was unexpected.  In past litters we had always been a little male heavy, so this is new for us!

20150506-IMG_9411

Tired mamma just an hour or so after whelping the final pup.

20150506-IMG_9419

Everything that puppies do is cute….they can’t help it.

20150506-IMG_9431

20150507-IMG_0258

20150509-IMG_9255

As you can see Cobalt is super dark!

20150506-IMG_9432

20150507-IMG_0286

I love how the inside of the pups ears look in the early stages!

20150507-IMG_0262

20150509-IMG_9287

20150507-IMG_0269

They quickly learn to use one another as pillows!

20150507-IMG_0296

20150509-IMG_9270

oh and the stretches…..

20150509-IMG_9256

And who doesn’t love a little vizsla puppy “comb over”….

20150507-IMG_0301

This beautiful momma has embraced motherhood so gracefully! She’s a rockstar!

20150507-IMG_0252

The male is of course spoken for, and 3 females are reserved.  At this time we have 2 females still available.  If you are interested in putting a deposit down one of the remaining females or on a future litter please contact us by email - ingridlouwheezer@gmail.com or by phone at 303-842-4041
