SHELTIE
TJ x Ja'Dore Litter


born October 22, 2004

This litter's "Story":
Ja'Dore surprised us a little by having her pups a little before we were expecting them, and she had some complications because of the size of her litter.  She had one puppy on Thursday night (10/21) at 11pm and then didn't have anything more at all, we knew there were lots of pups in there because when listening for heartbeats we heard a herd of elephants going!  Well, at 8am on Friday, we took her to the vet and he did an x-ray to see what was left, we counted 6 more at that point...  We opted to go ahead with a c-section because the positioning of the pups was not conducive to a normal delivery.  Our very capable and experienced vet delivered the remaining 7 puppies (note, the x-ray only showed 6!) and fortunately we were able to save them all.  Three on one side of the uterus were already starting to separate and were starting to fade.  A little dopram to get them going and a lot of vigorous rubbing was all they needed!  Long story short, here is what she gave me:

2 blue girls
2 blue boys
2 bi-black girls
1 tricolor girl
1 bi-black boy

Unfortunately, we lost 1 of the bi-black girls and one of the blue girls due to problems beyond our control...  We did everything we could to save them but sometimes that just isn't enough.
