That would be IX healthy puppies, IV boys and V girls. Birth weights were 5 at 24 ounces, 1 at 30 ounces, and 3 at 22 ounces. It was a good whelping, with a couple of long rest periods in between whelps, the longest being 5 hours.
Ana is a little displeased with me in this photo as I insisted on bathing here bottom-end, she rewarded me by squirting out some afterbirth and re-soiling everything I just cleaned up. LOL

Congratulations! I hope I’m as successful!
We are hoping you will be too. Do you have some pit on hand?
PIT?
Oxytocin
Yep – 3 syringes of it.
I can’t wait to see them all covered in scrambled eggs…
LOL
Good work Ana!! That is a lot of puppies! Lily is very pleased with all the puppy photos!! We’ll start working on those X names.
Thank you!
Yikes – 9 X names? That doesn’t sound easy….
Xavier for a boy sounds handsome and strong.
I agree. I do not think it will be that hard to find X names. You can use X to replace S or EX.
Congratulations! For my own personal reasons, I am thrilled to see such a large litter — especially one with so many females! (I figure it increases the likelihood one will be a match for me!) But the idea of coming up with 9 X names — oh my! After looking through the dictionary — unless somebody is partial to the color yellow — this could be tough.

Wow you x’d me out @Al & Karen
NINE puppies! Ana is a star. Out of curiosity, Julie, what’s the largest litter you’ve whelped?
Xi and Xu — I don’t know what they mean, but they are both valid Scrabble words.
12 and it was about 12 years ago. Tiffany was still living at home, and thank God for that, she organized and kept everything on track.

There has to be a Xanadu in there somewhere. A Xerxes too…
Xcedrin. 🙂
LOL I have to admit there has been a time or 2 that I have needed an excedrin with dogs! Cute!
Male names: Xan, Xavier,Xion, and my favorite, Professor X.
Julie when can we play?? 🙂 I know it’s way too soon, just can’t wait!
Nice sized litter with a pretty even male/female split. Good girl Ana.
I like Xander.
Xion or Xyon

X Mark’s the Spot – Call name “X-Mark” NOT Spot!
And last but not least….
Xylophone – Call name “Phonie” LOL!!!
Great minds think alike, I posted a bit ago X marks the spot too! LOL
Can you hear it now..Phooey Phonie, if you use the German commands.
What a wonderful first litter! Good job, Ana.
