Finally photos of the pups! They are showed from top to bottom in order of birth.

Mum with secret milk producing formula LOL

Then its "ijsbeertje" a boy, "Spot" a girl, "het hertje" a girl, "Boxer" a boy, "Muis" another boy and “foto model” the youngest girl

What a handsome and pretty lot eh!!

Tieka is doing very well. She only leves her babies to go to releave herself and straight back in to be close to them.

On the day of the birth Flecha came to have a look in the whelping box when the first 2 were born, I couldn’t believe my eyes. With the litter before he didn’t have a look for 3 days and even then found them very scary. Now he was so confident and though it was rather cool! He even walked into the whelping box with great confidence after seeing that Tieka didn’t mind, but she did give him a look of “don’t try anything funny”. And when all 6 were born he can and had another look, congratulated Tieka, and went back to bed ha, ha, ha.

Zanna on the other hand was most upset!!!! She thinks her mother is still a bit scary, but the first day she was down right terrified of her and the pups. It’s so weird, Tieka hasn’t been nasty to her. I think the smells have made rather an impression on Zanna. The pups she still finds very strange even after 2 days, and to make them even worst they make funny noises!!! But she is coming closer to the whelping box and I’m sure she will be ok soon. When people come to see the pups they are always people Zanna already knows and really likes so this helps her overcome her fear and she comes closer to the box so she will be patted too.

Pfff it’s a busy time already, and the pups aren’t even walking yet!! But its fun.
