Our beautiful China gave birth to 11 pups on Tuesday! There are 6 boys and 5 girls.
The first pup was born at 0824, the last at 0020 next day, a rather long 16 hours of labour with up to 5 hours between births!
China is fine, rather tired, but very motherly over her little pups. She has good awareness for a first time mum, and is very doting not wanting to leave them for too long. She loves falling asleep with her lovely head in our lap with her pups feeding.
Will be posting a video of the 1 day old pups soon, once we get a few minutes!

China is now in full pregnancy, very large with only 1˝ weeks to go before she is due to give birth. Would not be too surprised if she gave birth a couple of days early as she does seem to be very full and large with her pups!
She is eating for England, and has quickly realised that she is being pampered! A few wags of her lovely tail, coordinated sideways movement of her head plus a few grunts and ‘talks’ usually results in her getting a chicken wing or chew or some other treat as we all dote over her! Lol!
Since her pregnancy she has become a clone of her gorgeous mum, Alaska. Her resemblance to her is uncanny with her actions, movements and cheekiness! Her confidence and character has bloomed with her pregnancy, lovely to see.
Updates; Macintosh (litter 7), Henry (litter 2). Pictures to the right as well.
Latest picture of Macintosh to the right unmistakably Thunder’s son, with his mothers, Alaska’s coat and lovely trimmings.
Henry’s picture taken in the snow brings out his striking dark features, very similar to his dad, Otto. |

This lovely chap is Mactintosh, litter 7, at just a year old… looking rather tall with his back end only a couple of inches from the work tops!! |

This stunning chap is Henry, litter 2, looking majestic in the snow as he reaches maturity at 4 years old. |
