On June 24, Quick went into labor and the first puppy was born at 9:13 in the morning. The third puppy, a female, was still born at 12:30 P.M. A sixth puppy was born at 5:10 and all action stopped.

When Quick still hadn’t whelped another puppy at 9:30 P.M. the vet said to bring her in. X-rays showed four more pups and it was decided that the best option was a c-section. Around midnight we learned there were five more puppies. We finally got home around 3:00 A.M. on the 25th.

Regretfully we lost the second puppy, a male, later on the 25th leaving us with six males and three females.

Quick doesn’t have enough milk for nine puppies so we are having to help out by bottle feeding.
