Newfound Mastiff puppies GROWING!

Technorati Tags:

Here’s more about those puppies that were born to our family about seven months ago.  They are growing up really fast.  Out of the 15 pups born to our AKC Newfoundland, Annie, we were able to find wonderful forever homes for all of them and then some.  However, we kept three of the pups and now we have the Three Musketeers.  We, of course, still have Annie, their mom, and together they are a handful.  I won’t mention the other pets we have but I will say that our entire family is very busy with our four legged and feathered family members.  These photos were taken while Evie and Hammie were getting supper ready for the critters.  Margy and Martin are entertaining the pups as they waited.  Martin finally came up with a plan to prevent his face from being “slimed”.  He put on his helmet that he found at the local Salvation Army thrift store for $2.00.  It worked!

Below are photos of Annie with one of her pups.  Annie is the bigger one but not by much!  The photos are a bit dark but it was snowing and at around 9:30 a.m. the sun is just beginning to peek through the heavens.  By the way, these babies just love the snow!

Puppy Pictures!

I finally managed to get my photos off my new cell phone and into my computer. Here are just a few photos of our Newfound Mastiff puppies.  They are about two weeks old in all but one of these photos. This Friday they will be three weeks old.

Yum.  Helping Mom with feeding.
Too many puppies!

He's two weeks old and
his eyes are open.

No milk?  Hey wait, this isn't my mom.

More puppies!

Oh my goodness!  Annie, our Newfoundland dog had 15 puppies 7 days ago!  I certainly don't have to tell anyone how this happened except to say that Annie was secured in our very large eight foot high chain linked enclosure.  For several days a beautiful pedigree Mastiff came acourtin'.  Around the third day of this pining away between the fence we came home from work and found Annie had dug a deep hole and was free.  Needless to say the mastiff fulfilled his need and was gone...leaving no puppy support...only a smiling Annie!

I was about two weeks off on my due date calculations and Annie surprised us last Friday with 15 sweet newborns.  Of course I didn't have any whelping box ready.  In fact she gave birth under the porch.  Bless sweet Margy, my 14 year old niece who spent the entire day and evening under the porch with Annie.  She took just a few forced breaks for a rest and some food and then back under the porch she went to help her Annie.

Thanks to a friend of ours that raised Shelties for coming over and calming us down telling us that everything will be fine.  She gave us the name Newfound Mastiff's the name of this new breed!

They are truly beautiful.  Anyone wanting another love in their life just might want one of these precious pups.  They are black with some having a bit of white on their chest and/or paws.  Three have white tips on their tails.  There are seven females and eight males.

I hope to get photos shortly.
