Hopefully Babies for Langarni Basenjis.

[Patty]

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.....

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 :)...

[Lysh]

naww

what are you going to do with their reg names - have you got a theme or something you will go by?

[saba]

Yep theme is right…

They will be Langarni African ...... The last name will be african, beginning with A, (cos its my A litter), with some sort of applicable meaning :)...

They had their first try at some minced beef last night, and then again this am... LOOOOOOOVED it :)... Ochre was very keen to help them, and she enjoyed cleaning up the mess later, as well
