After a long day and night of unproductive labour that resulted in a trip to the emergency vet (where all the pups were born), our Portuguese Water Dog pups are here! Eight in total, a nice even four boys and four girls. They're beautiful.

Major congrats to you and your mom!! Beautiful puppies! It looks like both mom and the puppies are doing very well. Can you tell with porties at this age if they are curly coat or wavy? Will you guys be keeping a boy or girl out of the litter? Are they all spoken for yet? Aww, they kinda make me want a portie now!!

Thanks everyone! I've been on the night watch over the week-end and am exhausted, but we're thrilled with how great the pups look and that they're all doing well. Darcy had to stay with a friend for the week-end, as he was quite stressed out by all the goings on.

Yes, they're doing really well. Friday was a really tough day, 7 out of the 8 births were breach and we had a close call with the 8th when labour stalled again and she was in the birth canal for a while. While they were at the vet's office, my mom and her friend still did all the work delivering. But they're all thriving now, and Ziggy is going to be a great mom.

You can pretty much tell coat at birth. The wavies look completely smooth, like little labs, and the curlies have a slight crinkle to their coat. We have 4 wavies (3 girls, 1 boy) 3 curlies (2 boys, 1 girl) and 1 boy who looks like a soft curly or curly wavy. Time will tell!

I'm not sure what we'll keep, just depends who has the working ability my mom wants and the temperament to fit in with Ziggy. Oh and of course the structure to show, although this may be the last litter we ever have, we'll see. We're most likely keeping them for 9 weeks so have lots of time to decide!

As for homes, we have 6 or 7 so far. So we may have a couple available but not many. We'll see how it goes, we are getting lots of enquiries, so I don't think we'll have any trouble placing them.

Cute! Are they all black or did I see one with white on it (other than toes and chins)?
