Pug Puppies Arriving Anyday

[Maya]

My pug Gracie is looking fit to pop at the moment. She is coping well, a little uncomfortable in the heat and keeps growling in her sleep :rolleyes: I think the babies must be moving around and annoying her. She is due this weekend but im thinking she will pop before friday!

She has been scanned with 4 pups... I guess they must be big ones! :eek:

Picture taken 2 weeks ago:

And on Sunday:


http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w230/silverbriar/Gracie/P1160524.jpg

Im just hoping everything goes ok. This is my first pug litter and they are not easy whelpers, so fingers crossed!

[nobarkus]

That's great! She looks good. Post some pics of the pups when you can.

[tanza]

Good Luck Maya.... and I was going to ask how Pug's were to whelp.... I thought that I had been told that they are not easy whelpers....

[renaultf1]

How exciting!!! She looks like she's ready to have the pups any minute:D:D. Do keep us posted.

[Basenjimamma]

Wow, she looks like I felt right before I had my 8+ lbs son. Bless her heart. She is carrying the weight good though;). I hope she will have them soon, and that whelping will be as a much of a breeze as it can be. I can't wait to see the picks of those little flat nosed guys and gals..Good luck..

[YodelDogs]

Wow! Are you sure there is only 4 in there? :p

She doesn't look like she will be able to bend enough to bite the cords on the first couple of pups. Is this something that occurs in the breed?

[Maya]

Well, the lady who scanned Gracie only saw four, i guess there may be more. Im told pugs dont chew the cords, and very often have no maternal instinct at all!! So we have to be prepared that if she does have a healthy litter we may have to be very hands on with raising them.

I will certainly post pics!

[snorky998]

She looks very proud of her impending motherhood. Prayers to you that all goes well.

[Rita Jean]

Good luck to mom and babies and the human also. Mom will do fine. When our Shiba had her only litter she was not sure as what to do and would not tear the bag off her first puppy. Spice wanted to hide it in the blankets I was happy we were there to help her. For some reason she had her smallest puppy first and middle size in middle and her largest was last he was big. She did ok after we helped her with the first one. Good luck let us all know. 4th of July could really be banging and going.

[Janneke]

After seeing these pics.. I'm sooo happy I'm not a pregnant pug.. :D :D

She's huge.. ;)

Fingers crossed everything goes well! And don't forget to post pics!!

[thunderbird8588]

Hope everything goes well for Gracie, she looks fit to burst!
Can't wait to see pics of the babies.

[nobarkus]

There's a Pug that comes to the dog park and he so friendly. Buddy tries to play with him but Buddy's too overwhelming and the Pug hides between my legs and looks up at me with tail wagging.

[ibi_n_sane]

I cross my fingers too, and I hope it will not be as hot weather as it is here when she delivers her puppies.
Abou tthe size of the puppies, I hope they will not be too big, my basenji was hughe her second litter too, but had 4 puppies, they were big but not abnormal big for a basenji newborn. My ibizan hound was also big, but I never thought she would have 11 puppies of quite a big size for such a big litter ( 490-570 grams )....so you might be surprised ;)

are you going for a natural labour or a CS ?

[tanza]

Wondering too, is it usual to do a C-Section for Pugs? I know they have problems whelping....

[sharronhurlbut]

Wow, and I thought my tummy was big! *well it is* but this little girl is sure caring a load.
Best wishes for all.

[kiroja]

Aw, she looks like she's ready to burst. lol Best wishes for a smooth successful whelping! Can't wait to see the little smooshy puppies.

[Maya]

Thanks for all the replies! :D

We are going to see how it goes naturally and will opt for a C-section if she has problems. Gracie's mum has had two litters naturally so hopefully Gracie will too. The scanner said that one pup was a fair bit bigger than the other three so we just have to hope that she has that one ok. If she has that first with no problems the others should be easy, we just dont want that one to get stuck!!

[Buana]

We''ll keep our fingers crossed for gracie.. she looks so huge!!!!

[moetmum]

I hope it all goes well for Gracie, lots of pics please!

We met some adorable pug pups at Blackpool on the caravan park.

[Maya]

She seems to have settled back down now after giving me a little scare yesterday (i was sure she was going to have them last night - on her birthday!!) so maybe she will go to her due date!

My mum is looking at buying a caravan for the shows next year so she can make a weekend of it for each of them and take all the dogs along... So i keep getting dragged around Caravan showrooms...!! Will be nice to know some people at the caravan parks for if we do go though! Maya will love it im sure.

[moetmum]

You will love caravanning (the dogs will too), my daughter and I spent many a weekend trawling caravan showrooms! You will meet lots of people, you don't need to know anyone, I should think it would be good for you with the different breeds. I have found that people will offer help, especially when I am on my own, a lovely man with a Winnebago helped us put up the awning in the wind!

We met someone who had 16 Siberian huskies, a GSD and a Lurcher with them also someone with 10 Chi's, the Pugs owners also had Papillons and French bulldogs, you wouldn't believe there were hundreds of dogs on site, it was so quiet.

[Benkura]

My dogs LOVE the caravan. They get excited in the car as they can see 'the big white thing' following us! :)

[Basenjimamma]

We did have an Airstream for all of three months in our driveway. We never used it, ended up selling it on Ebay..one day though I want one again..it looks like so much fun, especially for the kids and dogs. on day..
Keeping my fingers crossed Gracie is doing OK.

[Maya]

:D

[basi]

Aww they babies are adorable Jess:D

Did everything go ok?

[Maya]

Yes, she popped them out with no problems, cleaned them and everything, she was really good!

I managed to miss the whole thing (ooops!) as my phone died last night and i didnt realise, so my mum was leaving me voice and text messages i didnt pick up til this morning lol!!

[basi]

I managed to miss the whole thing (ooops!) as my phone died last night and i didnt realise, so my mum was leaving me voice and text messages i didnt pick up til this morning lol!!

Whoops!!

That's good that she managed all by herself:D What sexes did she have?

[Maya]

She's got 3 of each :D

[basi]

She's got 3 of each :D

That's nice:D

[moetmum]

Well done Gracie!

That seems a lot of puppies for a small dog, no wonder she looked so huge. Is that a normal number for pugs?

[Maya]

Its not unheard of, but its certainly a large litter for a pug. Generally they will have 3-4 in a litter. Just keeping fingers crossed they all pull through as the first few days are such a worry with pugs. They are all very active (and vocal!!) and all feeding well so a good start at least.

[Schouiffy]

Congrrrrrrrats!!!!!!!!!!

[ibi_n_sane]

woooowwww congrats !!! and a natural birth too!! fantastic!! it really is a big litter for a pug!
but she didnt wait hey? ;)

[Basenjimamma]

Well a huge congrats to Gracie and you. They are so adorable, and yes quite a few for sich a small dog..She must have done outstanding. I am sorry you missed it.
Thank you for sharing pictures so soon..

[Maya]

Thanks all!

Im not sorry i missed it - far too messy and traumatic lol!!

She certainly didnt wait. Yesterday evening when i left there were no signs of imminent birth at all. I guess she just got sick of carrying the little monsters around :D

[ibi_n_sane]

I cant blame her, when you got the same temperatures over there as we have at the moment in the Netherlands :D

[Quercus]

Awww....so cute! Congrats! So the dam lives at your mom's, or just whelped there? I had no idea that a pug could even hold six puppies!!!

[Maya]

The temperature today is almost unbearable - it is SO hot. She is certainly happier not carrying all that extra weight around!!

Gracie has lived at my mums for nearly a year now. She and Delilah, my female pug, do not get on at all. They cant be in the same room without trying to kill each other!! Very sad as they were inseperable til Gracie was about 18 months.

[Ninabeana26]

Awww. The puppies are adorable! Glad to hear that Gracie had a nice delivery :)

[Buana]

Congrats!!!!

They are sooo cute.... :D

Glad to hear everything went well with gracie and babys!

[Rita Jean]

Happy for you that all went so well and babies are just beautiful. Give mom big hug job well done.

Rita Jean

[Janneke]

Aaww.. just adorable!! Congrats!!

[nala121498]

Congrats! Well done, Gracie!! How sweet they are!! More pictures when you can, please!!!

[Maya]

Thanks everyone! Will try to take some more pics when i do some babysitting this evening :D

Gracie is being a fantastic mum, except she wont clean them to make them pee/poo! She's cleaning faces and bodies, but not bums. Cant say i blame her lol!

[snorky998]

Congratulations Gracie!! Beautiful brood.

[thunderbird8588]

Congratulations to Gracie and Jess. The Pups are gorgeous and Gracie must be so relieved not to be carrying all that weight around in this weather.

[renaultf1]

Gracie is being a fantastic mum, except she wont clean them to make them pee/poo! She's cleaning faces and bodies, but not bums. Cant say i blame her lol!

Congrats on your new brood! Six pups...wow!!! Glad Gracie and kids are doing well.

Oh, and just wait 'til she tries to kiss you after she does some of that cleaning! :D:D

[Maya]

Yuk! No thanks lol!!

Heres some more pics!

All babies still doing fine. They had their dewclaws removed today.

[Basenjimamma]

oh my goodness they are so tiny. Have you given them names yet? Gracie looks so relieved, no more weight in her tummy.

[basenji_fan]

Awe big congrats, they are all so cute!!!

[AndrewnShango]

Congrats! What a great experience!

[Maya]

Sad news.... We lost one of the babies last night :(

He was the smallest of the litter and he was a bit slower than the others with putting on weight but he was fighting on and doing well. But he dropped some weight a couple of days ago so we started giving him "top up" feeds from a bottle between his feeding from his mum. But yesterday he went downhill very fast and there was nothing the vets could do for him :( Gracie is very upset. She is really, properly grieving. She just keeps cuddling around her other babies when they're feeding, like a cat. Poor girl. We've only lost two other puppies before. I always find it so hard to lose them as you really do get attached to them...

RIP little man.

This is him a couple of days ago... So gorgeous...

http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w230/silverbriar/pup.jpg

[Janneke]

How sad.. I'm so sorry for your loss.. :(

[thunderbird8588]

So sorry to hear about the loss of the little Pup, poor Gacie, give her a hug from me.

[Basenjimamma]

Oh, that is so sad. Give Gracie a hug from Otis and I and know that we will keep Gracie and the pups in our thoughts...

[moetmum]

Such sad news, I am so sorry you lost the little boy, big hugs to poor Gracie.

[Maya]

Thanks all. It is terribly sad, and they had all been doing so well, it was quite sudden really :(

Gracie is very protective of her babies now. If anything though, its made her a better mum! She is suddenly cleaning them lots (including bums which she hadn't been doing!!) and spending much more time in the whelping box with them. Im told that she is much more settled now. I think she was really upset last night when we lost him, poor girl..

[ibi_n_sane]

I am sorry to hear about the loss of that puppy, that is the down side of breeding :(

[nala121498]

Gosh, they are so adorable...but I am so sorry for the loss of the little boy...((hugs)) to you and Gracie...please keep those pictures and updates coming!

[JISGARD]

I am so sorry to hear of your loss.

Steve.

[sharronhurlbut]

Hugs for your loss.

[MacPack]

So sorry for your loss, he was a sweet little boy. Hugs to Gracie.

[Buana]

I'm so sorry about your loss :(
A hug from us..

[Maya]

Thanks everyone.

[Elscodobermann]

Just discovered this thread - been busy at work. So sorry to hear you lost a pup Jess - i know what its like - twice i have had the same bitch whelp 2 pups, then lose 1 -at least your bitch still has 5 to keep her occupied.

best of luck with them.

Scott

[dmcarty]

I lost one puppy to cleft pallette - once 11 years ago - the cleft was so far back you could not easily see it but it affected his ability to suckle and no amount of hand feeding was going to do anything so we had to put him down. Even the vet was crying.

I'm sorry to hear about your little ones loss.

[Maya]

Thank you all for the replies. At least with the little man we lost it was quick, he went downhill very suddenly. And he died asleep, snuggled up to his mum... Poor little man..

BUT, the other 5 are thriving. Gracie is just being the best mum, she loves her babies and is so proud of them. These pictures were taken about 10 mins ago! Im off work for a week now on puppy sitting duty, im loving it! :D Expect loads of pics lol

They're getting so big!

What great shots! She looks like she's doing well with her newborns.

[basi]

They are just adorable, never get bored of seeing puppies;) keep them coming:D

[moetmum]

They are so cute, they even look like little puglets now!

[Basenjimamma]

absolutely adorable...I just love those little squished faces...lots of puppy love going on.
Gracie is looking very pretty and relaxed.

[MacPack]

They are so cute, with fat little bellies. Gracie looks quite content.

[Quercus]

OMG, they are sooooo cute! I love how the mamas put a paw around one in a hug...Bella did that too :*)

[Buana]

They are soooo cute...

[Maya]

Thanks all :D

They are turning into proper little pugs now. Their nose pigment has come through SO quickly (i have been told that some dont have their full nose pigment through at 10 weeks so these have been very quick!!), everyone has their eyes fully open and their cheeky characters are coming through now. They come waddling over if you go near the box and climb over each other to try to get attention when you pick one up :D A couple are having a go at standing/walking as you can see in the pics, and all the tails are starting to go up and over. Im told they start to curl at about 5 weeks.

Anyway, pics taken about half an hour ago:

Every home should have a pug! :D

[basi]

Awww Jess they are adorable:D 1 question though how do you tell them apart? At least with the b's and even when we had the Buhunds they were quite easy because of markings.

[Maya]

They each have little marks (nail varnish) in different places ;) A lot of people use the ribbon things around the neck but i'd worry about them strangling each other!!

[renaultf1]

All the new pics are cute, but that last one is ADORABLE! Glad the pups are all doing well.

Ah right:D

[Basenjimamma]

So cute. Their little paws absolutely melt me..adorable.

[thunderbird8588]

Gorgeous, just gorgeous!

[ibi_n_sane]

oowww I just posted in you other topic a question on how the PUGLETS :D are doing, but I can see they are doing great!! I cant say puglets are beautiful, but I do think they are adorable :)

[Maya]

Hi,

Thought i'd post a quick update for anyone who's interested. The pups are coming up to 4 weeks now and we've just started weaning them onto proper food after they were taking too much interest in mums dinner (see vids below!! lol). They are all growing well, they are such adorable little characters. Still very wobbly on their feet but they do go galloping around chasing after each other regardless!!

Anyway, the pics and vids are poor quality, sorry. Took them on my phone. But thought i'd share. And sorry that the angles on the vids are a bit odd lol God knows what i was doing...

I am just loving these pics Jess they are just sooooo cute:D 4 weeks:eek: times flies doesn't it!

[Elscodobermann]

Keep on posting them Jess - they are lovely!

[Janneke]

Wow, they are too cute...! Just adorable! They are starting to look like real dogs now :)

[dmcarty]

enjoy while you can - my podengo babies I put them outside for 10 min and they come back in an inch taller!

[JISGARD]

They really are adorable.

[thunderbird8588]

I see what you mean about being interested in Mums dinner,lol.

[moetmum]

Ah, bless them, they are so cute.

[Nemo]

I never realized how cute pug puppies are. Such cuties!

[Maya]

Thanks everyone!

I just cant believe 4 weeks have gone already, i love them when they get to this age though. they're just starting to play, its so cute!

I will try to get some more at the weekend but im having to stay away from the pups a bit. Got 4 people from work off with confirmed swine flu and im paranoid about passing something on to the pups...!

[moetmum]

Fingers crossed you don't get it Jess, I am almost resigned to the fact that there is a high chance of me getting it, we meet so many members of the public at work, at least two local schools have been told that they may not go back until October because of outbreaks!

I don't think you can pass it on to dogs but I think I would worry as well!

[Maya]

So far i do seem to have avoided it. I just get so paranoid when we've got babies incase they pick up anything!!

But anyway, millions of new pics taken about an hour ago:

[Basenjimamma]

Simply adorable pups. I sure y'all won't get "the dreaded flu", We had it here bad in some schools right before summer, but so far so good..

[moetmum]

They are really coming on, I love the pics of them playing, so cute.

[JISGARD]

You can really see their individual characters coming out.

[renaultf1]

They just keep looking better & better...love the updates!!! So cute! :D:D

[crystalncody]

Awe! They are so sweet! It's really cool to see how much (and how fast) they have grown over the past few weeks.

[Maya]

Thanks everyone!!

Here's another video taken last night, just of them playing :)

[thunderbird8588]

Love the pics and the video of the pups playing, so i guess you are keeping two?

[moetmum]

They are looking a real handful there!

[Maya]

Love the pics and the video of the pups playing, so i guess you are keeping two?

Yes im planning to keep DeeDee and Michael at the moment. My mum will be keeping 2 (definately "Jeanie" as she just adores her, but not decided on the other). We will probably end up keeping the leftover one too, at least to run on and see how they all look. Theres really not much between them at all at the moment :D


Theyre definately a handful......!!

[Maya]

More pics!! Taken on my phone so terrible quality...

[Basenjimamma]

Simply adorable..especially the second pic of Michael and the alst pick of them all sleeping..too cute..

[nala121498]

OMG! They are so round and adorable! It's almost like you can see their personalities from the photos...

[moetmum]

They are coming on, its lovely to see them outside exploring the garden.

[thunderbird8588]

Im sure they are getting cuter and cuter, my fave pics are the top one of Michael, the Black lab looks like its hiding :) Also love the one were the pups are all in their bed.

[Maya]

Thanks for the replies! :)

Michael is a cutie isn't he?? DeeDee is a fiesty little thing, she is definately taking after her mum, Michael is just a cuddly little sweetheart though :D

[Basenjimamma]

Maya, maybe you have already told us, but I don't remember so I am asking again..are you keeping any of them?
It would be really hard for me to not keep at least one..they are the cutest little things, I love the second pic with the two pups coming towards the camera with their mouths in attack mode..and the third from the bottom, how cute, with all those little puppy rolls..shoot, I love 'em all.

[Maya]

Between me and my mum we are keeping them all! :D

DeeDee and Michael are my two, we still havent decided who will take the leftover one, probably me though lol. I couldnt bear to part with any of them :D

[Buana]

Keeping them all?

Wow!!!

[thunderbird8588]

I dont blame you keeping them all, they are so cute:)

[nomrbddgs]

You've got it-Baaaaaadd! What are your going to do with the next litter? LOL

[Maya]

Lol probably end up keeping all of those too :D

[nala121498]

"Maya's Zoo", perhaps? ;) You could charge admission for all of those adorable and beautiful animals!!!:)

[moetmum]

Thats why I only had one litter! (I kept them all)

[Maya]

We did some "standing" yesterday, what a disaster that was!! Little wrigglers lol!!

[Basenjimamma]

[renaultf1]

Super cute!!!! :D:D:D Pixie looks like she might like being a show dog. ;)

[Maya]

Absolutely adorable. I think they did good.

You didnt see all the "outtakes" :rolleyes:

They all really enjoyed it actually, but they are SO tiny and fast we were paranoid they'd charge off the edge of the table mid-wriggle :p

[Maya]
