Fantasy Pups
Happy Summer solstice!
The first 48 hours of a puppies life are the most dangerous. In their new environment, there are many threats and high mortality. Some breeders will not even announce the birth of a litter until this period has passed. Fortunately, we have not suffered that sorrow. We are glad to announce that all of Phantasia's puppies have passed the 48 mark with flying colors. There are still six of them, and now that they are passed this danger period, we are ready to hold them (only as necessary though) and to begin weighing them, They have obviously grown in this brief period, but exactly how much is hard to say as they were not weighed at birth. Below are a few pictures. As you can see, they don't look like puppies yet. Their ears are still against their heads, their eyelids are sealed shut, the bones are still shaped for fitting in a tight womb-space, and fur markings have not yet begun to appear. It will be three weeks before they look like puppies, and six weeks before they look like Schnoodles. So I would not get anxious about which one will be yours -- it is way too soon for that! Looking at the picture of Phantasia with her whole litter, you have to wonder: Where did she fit them all?!
