Vanda's babies are here :-)…

Congrats! I found with my last litter that I had to 'rotate' the fat puppies with the ones that weren't doing as well. I find, sometimes, the puppies just don't get enough with their favorite teat and they have to be moved to a different one. And then, there are the little hippos that take all the milk! Good luck!

LOL same here Arlene and hippos cover it. Glad the pup is okay. I actually use Karo syrup to rub on their gums to give them a boost. I had never heard of liver juice! Congrats on the pups.. where are the pictures!

Congrats on a nice "bitch" litter… gggg The girls will keep that one boy in line!!! Pictures, we need pictures. Fingers crossed that the Tri-ing will suit the purpose!!!

[Shaye's Mom]

Congratulations on your little ones - we need pictures as soon as you are able.

[krunzer]

Babies!!! I can't wait to see pics. I am glad that everything went well and all the baby hippos(heehee) are doing great!

Congratulations

Thanks guys…

Tried to get some pics up of them, but Im completely useless with technology, so will need Mr Saba to help me !!!

They are now 9 days old, and all are thriving. Vanda is a wonderful attentive Mum, and Im over the moon with how she is doing. The little boy is doing well, and all have well and truely doubled their weights.

This is the second litter, (the other is the ACD litter I had last year), that I have fed adult food all through the bitches pregnancy. Previously I have always put my girls straight onto puppy food from the day they are mated. Both this litter and the ACD one, the pups have doubled their weight, within 4-7 days. When I have been feeding the puppy food to the bitches, the pups usually doubled their weight by about days 10-12, and I was happy with that, (and they always dropped weight for the first day or so). Mmmmm is there something in that !!!

Many congratulations. I always love a litter with majority girls but i know that's a matter of opinion. Glad the boy recovered. He'll possibly be the 'lazy' one. I'd never heard of the liver juice solution and it just shows how useful this forum is - you can never be in this breed long enough to have heard it all! Thanks for the tip.

I so look forward to seeing the pictures.

None of your information is useless!

I'll never be a basenji breeder, but I can tell you that I have learned so much on this forum since I joined a few years back, SO much useful information! I'm so happy to hear that the little dude is doing well, as all the other little divas seem to be. Hopefully we'll get to see pictures soon. Congratulations on what sounds to be a lovely litter!
