Keiko’s puppies are here!
Not quite Bonfire Night babies, but they certainly arrived with a bang. Keiko delivered eight gorgeous chocolate puppies yesterday afternoon, all within just 3 hours and 17 minutes, with the final arrival just before 6pm.
Keiko was calm, focused, and handled everything like a complete natural. We couldn’t be more pleased with how smoothly she managed to deliver them all. Once the last pup was safely delivered, she tucked into a well-deserved bowl of scrambled eggs and sardines with a sprinkle of glucose, and is now resting contentedly while feeding her beautiful new brood.
We ended up with seven girls and just one boy. We expected a few more boys, but Mother Nature does like to keep us on our toes. The pups are all rich chocolate shades, with a couple so dark they look almost black!
We’ll be sharing more updates over the coming days and weeks. But for now, Keiko is doing brilliantly, and we’re enjoying the calm after a fast and smooth whelping!
