2008-08-24 The last puppy leaves us

An additional two weeks, Tess have had company of her sister Nova. But today she left us for her new family and Tess is on her own (with the other grown ups)...

For Nova it was an 8 hour ride to Umeĺ. It went on with no problems - she slept almost all the time.

  Nova goes with Karin & Andreas
and her new dog friends Puma & Aska to Umeĺ

 

2008-08-09 The puppies leave the kennel

So fast eight weeks go by - it is time for our babies to leave us. The first one left us yesterday and another three left us today. Back at the kennel is Tess who stays here and Nova who will be picked up in two weeks. Even with two puppies the house it now very quiet. But it all feels well and it is with confidence we leave them to their new families - we are convinced that they will get a good life in their new homes. It will be great to follow them in the future.

Mir goes with Mikaela and Daniel to Stockholm/Göteborg Jobbe goes with Anika and Ronni to Denmark

 

2008-08-06 Eight weeks old

Last week with the kennel and now some real fights are taken place. They have to try and bite in everything which means that all plants have to be moved. Now we are ready to let them go but it will probably change when they actually do...

They move with more an more speed, and they are much more stable (they no longer stumble on everything in their way). It is still very hot summer, so the puppies are more relaxed during the day, but become active in the afternoon (when mum and dad gets home from work).

To stand still for a photo session is not in their dictionary - it was very sweaty for us in today's session, but finally we got a picture of them all :-).

The speed is up and we are thankfull for the nice weather. Sunny and hot allows the puppies to be outdoor as much as they wants. They fight, hunt the lure, runs through the agility tunnel and barks as a grown up... luckily they do sleep for time to time.

2008-07-16 Five weeks old

Back from the countryside, the puppies have moved to their own house. They play and sounds a lot now. It's no longer sufficient with five minutes play till the next sleeping period - no now you have to activate them at least half an hour until they start the next resting period. But they are still sweet as only babies can be :-)

2008-07-09 Four weeks old

After moving to our cottage the puppies have spent time outside on the lawn whenever the weather allows it... and they just love it - they run and play all that they have learned. Diba is no longer that keen on the small ones, but she do lay down from time to time to let them empty the milkbar. But Sill - who still thinks she is a puppy - loves to play with the babies even though she's a bit tuff when she forgets her size.

Now we see a lot of progress. Everyone have got eyes and is up on their feet. They also fancy solid dog food - even though mamma Diba isn't completely in on surrendering her milk bar. The puppy corner is full of life - they play, they bark and they bite. Now they are alive and awake...

Now all the puppies have past the one kilogram limit and their eyes have started to open. They are all fine and Diba is still a very patient mamma with her "milk bar". The noises from the puppy corner are a little louder now :-)

The grow enormously and all have passed 600 gram. They are all active in the milk bar which Diba is very good to keep open. But now she actually leaves the puppies from time to time to relax a little.

2008-06-12 One day old

At this age it is all about eating and resting   ... and that's what they do. But as soon as something is unsatisfactory - for instance if they get to far from mum - they show how loudly they can get. Damn how sweet they are.

2008-06-11 The puppies have arrived

Just like last time Diba gave birth on day 62. And just like before she did it without any complications. 3 males and 3 females was born between 16:00 and 18:00, with a minimum of help from us. Their birth weight was between 340 gram and 370 gram - a rather equal sized litter.

But even with an uncomplicated birth it is still a little tense for us - we wonder if it ever becomes a routine :-)

  App. one hour after the birth
Diba is already protecting the small ones... ... and likes to take cover in the "cave"
   

2008-06-10 Day 61

We didn't believe she could gain any more weight but we had to think again - she have now gain 4,3 kilo and by that she have increased by almost 40%.

I principle she do nothing else than laying in the bed, or rather tries to find a bearable position (it isn't easy). To have a longer work is out of the question - peeing is done inside the garden border.

 

Dam - it would be nice to get them out now...

  The stomach goes deeper that the chest!

2008-06-05 8 week pregnant

Now we feel sorry for Diba - she is so big that lives becomes hard: She haven't got the strength to go far, her legs are swelled and she needs help from daddy to jump into bed. We don't believe she will wait till Wednesday - the puppies will probably arrive Monday or Tuesday. But to us it's more important that they arrive in good health...

 

  Diba can't stand too long
She have found a new favourite laying position (on the stomach) It clearly shows how blown up the stomach is
   

 2008-05-30 Seven week pregnancy

It's not that fun to be pregnant anymore - neither for Diba or our humans. There is so much pressure on her organs that she have to pee every fourth our (24-7). You can imagine how tired we all are.

But a weekend in the cabin did us all well, even if it was a little to hot weather for a pregnant whippet...

   

2008-05-23 Six week pregnancy

Diba have increased substation ally in size and weight. She have gain two kilo and is at a seven week pregnancy level compared to last pregnancy (we hope for many Spuba's and Dibnik's inside). Otherwise she is still a happy pregnant girl with attentive look and in a good  mood.

 

   

2008-05-16 Five week pregnancy

It's not so obvious in the picture, but now you can see that Diba is bigger. And she's happy with her pregnancy - she's alert and is very attentive. The 600 grams she have gain in weight makes her beautiful - it would be perfect if this was her standard weight.

 

   

2008-05-09 Four week pregnancy

Now we are certain. All signs tell us she is expecting. Her stomach is significant firmer, she have some clear flux and her nipples is enlarged and light up in the dark.

 

   

  

2008-05-02 Three week pregnancy

We think the stomach is a little firmer and definitely think her temper has changed. She is more "by her self" but at the same time she wants to be more closer to us humans.

 

 

   

2008-04-24 Two weeks pregnancy

Still impossible to be sure about the pregnancy - but if feels right.

 

   

2008-04-19

A week after the mating. It is still to early to say anything solid about the pregnancy. But Diba has definitely changed behaviour - she is not so keen on running and she follows every step we take. Her stomach also feels a bit more firm.

 

   

 2008-04-11

Diba have now been mated to Sputnik.

If all goes according to plans, puppies will arrive around June 12.

Magic Colour Scent of Gold - "Sputnik"

Airescot Jenny Lind - "Diba"

 

Diba has gain the SW's trippelpris

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 2006.

Sputnik is from our first litter after Carla (Airescot Scented Silver). He is a powerfull male with a nice and friendly temperament. He is doing well on shows and is entusiastic on the Lure Coursing track. He is a promising youngster.

 

We hope to get lovely puppies that can do well in the show rings as well as on the Lure Coursing Field.
