Hona & Dillon had 2 beautiful blue frenchie babies on November 19, 2020. One little itty bitty boy a whopping 5.4 oz & a little girl an ounce larger than her brother.
It appears they are both blue sables like their momma but we will know better as they get older. They came out of the oven super active with a strong appetite ready to eat. That is what we as breeders LOVE to see in brand new puppies. The little boy did have crackly little lungs for the first 24 hrs but it did not affect his suckling or desire to eat so with an extremely close eye we watched over him and encouraged him to whine/cry as much as possible those first hours.
Crying helps them clear the remaining fluid left in their lungs. When pups are born naturally through the birth canal (like a human baby) most of that gets squeezed out during their entry into the world. During a c-section, they miss out on that step so the fluid tends to need to be circulated out. He did wonderfully and has been gaining weight steadily.
Hona, I’m so proud of my girl, has been an excellent mother. I cannot believe this is her first time. You’d think she has been doing this for years how well she is tending to her babies.
You can see the process from the early signs of labor to the new puppies in our short video below.
Here are a few adorable photos of their babies over the first week of their life.
