Day 1: Birth & Feeding

Five healthy puppies. 1 Girl, 4 Boys.

Witnessing the birth was an amazing experience. No.1 had a slow start. He wasn't quick to get air and was just lying there. He came around after a bit of rubbing. Some had personalities right after entrance; hence a nickname 'Al Pacino' for #2. He was quite exhaustively struggling in the sac and yelped a demanding cry upon first breath of air. Chloe hadn't even cleaned the 1st one and she was taking care of the second because of his demands. He appeared to need cleaning. Number 3 was the girl.

Two of the puppies are solid black with no undertones - these were the first and the last puppies. The others have a secondary color with the black almost brown or grey.
