'Zodiac' is here!
Sophie went into labour early yesterday morning whelping four healthy puppies with no complications! With the issues she was having early in the pregnancy we're definitely happy that the birth itself was so smooth.
All four pups look like they'll be feathered, the chance of smooth was very small with this pairing but you never know! An even spread of males and females with two showing black and tan markings. We'll see as they get older if either Black/Tan pup will develop anymore white but at the moment we're confident with the black/tan label on the coats, along with what seems like a Black/Silver and Solid Cream! We're unsure if the Black/Silver pup will develop enough tan to push them over into Black/Tan but at the moment there's only a small hint of it.
Our only problem so far seems to be the little Cream puppy who is currently refusing to nurse and is instead being hand-fed by Signe. So far Sophie hasn't rejected them and is happy to have the puppy back with their siblings when feeding is done but we're very much hoping to get the pup to latch sooner rather than later.
