4th Pupdate:
These sweeties will start on solid food this week and will start spending more time exploring outside of their puppy pen. They have started to use the potty pan part of the time, which is an awesome start to potty training and will help maintain their natural instinct to by hygienic.
Ms. Pink: 515 grams- little Pink is a sweet little cuddle bug. She LOVES her mommy and has a great appetite. It was hard to get a photo of her this week because all she wanted to do was walk towards the camera.
Ms. Yellow: 870 grams- the wild child of the group! Yellow is an active little one whose tail never stops wagging.
Ms. Purple: 899 grams- I expect that this girl will push the high end of the expected litter weight, landing right around the 20lb mark. She is stocky and blocky like her daddy Rudy, and has an easy going personality.
Ms. Lime: 864 grams- this cutie is so photogenic! She has compact little features and is super chunky, adorable! She is inquisitive and thoughtful.

3rd Pupdate:
Pippa's pups are doing well. Mom and babies are starting to get a little more independent, leaving each other more often. All eyes have opened fully and they can now hear. They have even started to play! Yellow is showing her wild streak already. Pink is a little behind normal development, which is normal for a small pup, but is coming along at her own pace and gaining each day. A fantastic sign!
Ms. Pink: 361 grams
Ms. Yellow: 648 grams
Ms. Purple: 646 grams
Ms. Lime: 611 grams

2nd Pupdate:
Pippa and babies are all doing well. We are juuust beginning to see little eyes start open... and check out those weight gains! All babies, even Pink, are a bit on the chunky side, and have very shiny coats. It is safe to say that all 4 have wavy/fleece hair like their mommy.
I found a couple photos of baby Pippa, and one of her at 6 or so months. Gosh she was a teeny baby. I tried sooo hard not to keep her because of her small size, but she melted my heart and had the most fabulous temperament. I am SO glad I did, because she is a great mom and so pleasant to be around. She inherited her mommy, Bella's, sweet, sweet, personality.
Ms. Pink: 258 grams
Ms. Yellow: 477 grams
Ms. Purple: 461 grams
Ms. Lime: 430 grams

1st Pupdate:
Pippa and puppies are doing well! Puppies are growing and thriving. We are very proud of Pippa. She is a fantastic little mom! Pippa is comfortable with strangers holding her newborns, and with other dogs hanging out in the same room as her babies, which is unusual for a new mom with infant pups. This really shows what a great temperament Pip has! She has started leaving pups for short periods to go in walks around the yard with me, such a sweet girl.
Pippa finally got her full mommy clip-down. She may not be her normal fuzzy self, but she is much more comfortable... a priority when you are busy looking after newborns. She looks itty-bitty next to her half sister, Ginger, who is very hairy and very, very pregnant. See a couple pictures below.
Little Pink is small but growing well and very active. Take a peek at the beginning of this week's puppy video.... look at how active these babies are, they are "rooting" around the soft blanket looking for a place to nurse!
Ms. Pink: 165 grams
Ms. Yellow: 329 grams
Ms. Purple: 327 grams
Ms. Lime: 284 grams

Happy Birthday! 4 Girls
Ms. Pippa gave us a HUGE Christmas surprise! 4 beautiful girls.
We find that the majority of our dogs deliver around day 63 after their 1st honeymoon. Pippa's due date was January 2nd. It is very unusual for a dog to deliver any more than 5 days before this date, so we have our guardian girls come back to Red Spring Farm 7 days before their due date. Pippa's guardian home lives in my hometown of Asheboro, NC, about 3 hours from Roanoke, VA. The plan was for me to visit my family in Asheboro on Christmas day, and bring Pippa back to Red Spring Farm with me the following day. I have been really enjoying a rare break from puppies, and was excited to be able to travel and visit my family for the holidays (I spent last Christmas delivering a litter). Pip had other plans!
Pippa's fantastic guardian identified signs of early labor on Christmas morning. She delivered Pippa to my mom's house in Asheboro, and I monitored Pippa throughout the day between Christmas meals and family time. I suspected she was experiencing Braxton-Hicks (where her body is "practicing" for the big delivery) and that she wouldn't have her babies for a few more days. Boy, was a wrong! Pippa waited until after dinner to start showing active labor signs and had her pup very shortly after.
I just want to emphasize what a FANTASTIC little dog Pippa is! Despite all of the less-than-ideal hustle bustle, she was friendly with everyone (which is not something that you find in all laboring moms), relaxed in the new setting, and remained calm throughout her delivery in my childhood bedroom, with limited whelping supplies! Pippa behaved like a seasoned mom who has delivered 2 or 3 times... a natural! 3 pups were born on 12/25, and 1 pup (Lime) was born at 4AM on 12/26.
Pippa was going to get her maternity haircut after getting back to Red Spring Farm- but since she delivered early she is all hair! She will be getting a cut on 12/28. I know that families are anxiously waiting to hear if they made Pippa's list! I will be reaching out to those at the top of our reservation list on 12/28 after we get Pip trimmed up.
All pups are all thriving! One pup is slightly smaller than the other 3, but she has been lively and thriving since birth. We will be keeping an eye on her, and we will NOT be assigning a family to the 4th spot until we know that she is all okay. All pups appear wavy, but we won't be able to tell for sure until pups are a little older, between 1-2 weeks. A couple of the pups have some white markings.

Ms. Pink: 122 grams
Ms. Yellow: 222 grams
Ms. Purple: 224 grams
Ms. Lime: 202 grams
