Rocky x Promise litter!

On March 13th, 2019, Promise whelped a litter of 6! Our St. Patrick's Day-themed litter consisted of 2 females and 4 males! Promise did an excellent job, and took this mommy-thing in stride! The first puppy was born at 2:07am and the last puppy was born at 8:30am.

At 21 days of gestation, we confirmed Promise's pregnancy via ultrasound! The black, spherical shape on the left of the image is the amniotic fluid-filled sac of a developing embryo! The larger, black shape to the right is Promise's urinary bladder!

At 28 days gestation, we checked again to view the puppies' heartbeats! Such an exciting experience!

At 60 days gestation, we performed radiographs so we could count how many puppies Promise was having! There's 6!!!
