Hopefully Babies for Langarni Basenjis.

[Shaye's Mom]

Oh they are so cute! Good job, Ochre. She and the puppies all look so strong and healthy - wonderful news.

So cool. I didn't realize the babies started out so dark (relative to the red of the mother) – at least that's how it appears in the pictures, which are a pleasure to see. And those adorable little twizzlestick tails!

Congratulations!

Just been to look at the babies - gorgeous and mum must be so pleased with herself. Puppies always make me feel broody - and sorry that we won't be having any more. I now have to take joy in viewing other peoples'!

I noticed too that in the preamble you said that the scan showed 2 to 3 puppies!! Well done Ochre for doublinfg that! Typical of a Basenji!!!!

Thanks everyone for the lovely comments… Just starting to feel hooman again, just ;).

Ochre is doing very well indeed, and Im sooooo very proud of her. She has settled into motherhood like a real pro...

Bubbies are all gaining great amounts of weight, feeding well, and are just such time wasters :D. Got a friend coming down tomorrow to do the dew claws, something Im NOT looking forward to, although she reassures me the pups will probably cope a lot better than the humans will :).

Will try to get some individual pics of them, either tomorrow or the following day :)...

Wonderful update..can't wait for pictures..you know we are picture hogs..:)

Good luck on the dew claw removal, does not sound like fun times..

[saba]

Well my gorgeous little bubbies are 6 days old today, I cant believe just how quickly that time has gone :eek:…

They are doing soooooooooooooo well, feeding well, too. In fact they have all doubled their birth weight at either day 5 or 6 :eek:... Im blown away by that... Is that normal ??? Im used to the ACD's doubling by about day 10, if they did it this early, I would be concerned !!!

I have pics of them at 4 days, on my website www.langarni-rajacadoo.com if you want to have a look at them :D:D:D

[Buana]

I want….. And I did....

And I want another Basenji...

[Basenjimamma]

they are adorable, Jennie..so cute..

[saba]

Could be a tad biased, but I agree, they are soooooooooooooooo cute, such timewasters

[lvoss]

Yes, they usually double their birth weight in about a week.

Congratulations, the puppies are beautiful

Just a quick update, to say that the pups are 11 days old now, and they continue to do really well :)… I did not enjoy being a part of taking the dew claws off, but I was interested to see just how quickly they all settled down after it was done...

So proud of Ochre, she is doing a great job feeding them and cleaning them. She is having a bit of time out of the whelping box, and yesterday she was re-intrduced to Saba, (who I might add, was VERY pleased to have her company again :)), and she enjoyed the company as well. They even did a housebound B500 ;)... Too cute...

Day 7 pics of them are up on our website :)...

11 days later but many congrats to pups :D!!!
Enjoy these first weeks until they grow to little devils :D.

Just a quick update…

All going well. I have the 3 fatties all reach the kilo mark yesterday, while the 3 skinnies are all in the high 800's grams

I have 2 week shots of them up on my website, www.langarni-rajacadoo.com They will be 3 weeks old this Sunday. Ochre is coping really well, doing a fantastic job. She spent her first time down in the dog run with Saba this afternoon, and I think she loved the freedom she had… She didnt quite do the B500, I think those large mammaries got in the way :D...

Finally opened their eyes on about day 17-19, very slow compared to the Cattle Dogs who are open between days 8-10 ;)...

Just in the process of thinking up registered names, thats a fun part I reckon

[tanza]

Yup this is the fun time!!!! Glad to hear all is going well…. My pups usually opened eyes at around 12 to 15 days, girls first and then boys.....

[Kipawa]

Just checked out your website and the most adorable photos of the puppies! I just want to grab a big blanket, put them ALL in there and have them on my lap! What cuties.

[Basenjimamma]

So happy to hear that all is good..love seeing the pictures, keep them coming.

[saba]

Thanks guys :)…

Kipawa, I have heart failure about once a day, cos my daughters keep taking one to have a cuddle, and the head count is wrong... So there's me shouting... "Do you have ...... ???", Yes, Im giving ...... a cuddle up here" ;)... I wont mention putting all 6 in a blanket and taking them ALL upstairs :eek:

3 weeks old yesterday, new pics up on the website :). I tried to take pretend 'stacked shots' of them all, didnt work ;). Legs all over the place...

[Lysh]

Ooo pups! Congrats!! How are they all going? i have found your website - its great.

[saba]

Thanks Lysh :)…

They are going really well, growing like weeds !!! They are just beginning to play with each other a bit, up on their wobbly widdle legs :D...

They are just starting to be at the fun stage... Love watching them. Real time-wasters too ;)...

Just about to go and find my registered names for them all... Exciting :)...
