Well I missed the river this weekend but we spent a very long day delivering Dogue De Bordeaux pups. A total of 11 pups made it and we lost 2.
The process started at 830 am when I heard my daughter yell, "We have puppies". I ran downstairs to catch the first one and we went from there. We had one still birth and pup number six may have passed due to being blocked in the birth canal for to long after his water broke.
After this happened we went to the vet and delivered the rest in a vet room and only needed assistance with one more. We have 6 boys and 5 girls. The two that passed were girls so the guys would have been outnumbered.
We are all exhausted since the last pup did not come until 445 pm. The father is very proud and very protective of his new family.
Here are a few pics:
