Cyber litter born 2009-11-06

2009-11-14 One week old

Time passes so fast and it's already a week ago since the puppies came. They all grows in fast pace and they now have more than doubled their birth-weight (all have passed 600 Grams). We think we can almost see that they have grown from morning to evening. It is still a pure idyll in the whelping box, where Diba is an expert on taking care of the small ones. And now she allows rest of the flock to come in and nose the puppies, and she even hangs on when we rest the flock. First nail-clipping took place today, and it went rather smooth... So far, it has been easy to be a breeder :-)

The first 24 hours has been easy. Diba is in the basket all the time and suckle her pups - she has only left the puppy basket four times (for peeing). She is fresh again, after yesterday's struggle and have regained her waking eyes ... and she is quick to growl at the others if they get too close ...

Two days in advance the puppies was delivered. After a long restless night in where Diba needed to pee every quarter, the first contraction came 05:10 today. The water broke at 06:10 and at 06:40 the first puppy was born. As usual, Diba was as cool as ever, and the puppies came out nice and easy every 20’ties minute. This time, she was a little more active and wanted to cut the umbilical cord herself, and as usual she ate up all parental cakes.

In total came out 6 puppies - 4 males and 2 females in mixed colors (as always :-)). After the last puppy it has been rather quiet in the puppy basket, and mother Diba and her puppies are doing great.

2009-10-29 Diba in for X-ray

Today we went to the vet to take x-ray of Diba (so we know what to expect). Everyone at the clinic thought she was big and the X-ray image showed for sure 6 puppies, and probably 7 (she had eaten just before and the food in the stomach makes it difficult to see the puppies). We are quite convinced that there are 7 pieces (it fits the picture with 5 in the first litter, 6 in the second and 7 in the third). Now we just need to see the breakdown by gender ... but it must of course wait until they actually enter the world :-) Diba is otherwise in good condition and in a good mood ... She jumps easily into the car, the tail is almost always wagging, and you might even get a kiss from Diba these days - she really is a dog who lives for her pregnancy :-) The weight has crossed 14.6 kg. which means a 25% increase.

This week we have seen life in the belly - now it's much more real ...

Diba has now gone up 2 kilograms in weight (which is a 17% increase), but she remains unaffected by her pregnancy, and in a super mood.

She eats like a horse and is formerly "pregnant and happy" - she lights up next to the best of luck during her pregnancy.
Only 3 weeks to go ...

2009-10-11 Five weeks after mating

We are now certain that Diba is pregnant. Her waistline has increased and her nipples is veeery long and very soft (perfect for a little puppy).

And now she have a god appetite again...

After a couple of days on hunger strike she have now started to eat again. We have bought the finest puppy food for her, with lots of good stuff in it - when she eats it, the coming puppies will get used to the food.

If you look carefully you will see a small increase in the stomach volume... we waits impatiently

For us who have our day to day life with Diba, it feels a little more certain that something is going on. Her stomach have widen and is deeper and the sole nipple that is not black have now become real pink. Further more she have gone on hunger-strike as she use to coming into the third week...

2009-09-14 One week after mating

You can't see anything yet, but she do act a little bit more alert.

We are planning to made our Diba (Airescot Jenny Lind) to Wille (SUCH Airescot Cyber Dragon).

Wille was as a youngster know under the name "Wild Wille" but as he has grown older he can't live up to his reputation. He now shows the well know sight hound dignity, and inside he often rest on the sofa showing his belly to everyone. But outside he still have a lot of action and loves to give it full speed in the forest or on the field - preferably with his best buddy Prim. He is always keen on finding things and willingly follow to the agility field or to the blood tracks. He gain the Whippetklubbes Trippelpris 2008

Diba did very well as a puppy; twice she won Best Puppy in Show at SKK shows. As grown up Diba is also doing well in the show ring (with the majority CK) and she are very fast on the Lure Coursing Field; she has been very close to certificates several times. Diba co-operates very well at the Agility track and if it hasn’t been for her owners she probably could have competed in this game too. Diba are doing Wild Track with great enthusiasm and achieved her Wild Track license 2007.
