6:15PM Jammer had her first puppy, a black female. At 4:30AM her last puppy was born, a yellow female. Jam had a total of 7 puppies by the time she was done giving whelping. It was a long night to say the least. Jammer and Arlene and I are exhausted. All her puppies are doing well, the yellow female is much smaller then the other 6 pups and she is not nursing as well. Arlene and I keep trying to get her going. The yellow female has a lot of fight about her so we will hope for the best. As long as Jammer doesn’t start to separate her from the rest of the litter she has a chance to nurse and stay warm. This is the 3rd breeding of Jammer and Magnum and she has had all 3 colors in all her litters. 2 black males, 2 black females, 1 chocolate male, 1 chocolate female and 1 yellow female. This will be Jammer’s last litter and she is going to be retired. For those of you who have followed us over the years now about Jammer’s litter last year and a pup named Cooper. Cooper was a yellow male that was returned to us due to allergies in his new family. We still have many inquiries about Cooper and if I ad not had to have a hip replacement Cooper would still be with us. He has gone to a wonderful home and many days I think about what might have been. But knowing he has a great home gives me satisfaction. Know it is time for some sleep, Jammer, Arlene and me.
