9/3/2022 Leloo is doing much better this litter. Pups are warm, she is not the best at keeping them clean, but is learning. Everyone is resting and growing.

9/5/2022 Leloo did not have enough milk. Leloo had 9 pups total. 7 living as of today (9-5-22) 9/6/2022 Leloo has no milk. Puppies were moved to Pebbles.

Notes from Lois prior to pups being moved:

Birth notes :

pink collar; dark brownish black. heavy bones. white snow boots, pink pads- rear feet. Large female. Loves to sleep. looks like these 6 are even in temperament and content to eat and sleep and not move much.

purple collar was sucking on anything thus vulva juice.

Leloo is now back to sleeping. All pups now have more milk. Pink collar does cry out sometimes. big. I remember she was stepped on 2 or 3 times so this has made her more "aware" than the others.(Ameys assignment is to outcross to a bull dog a large bull dog breed with a smushed in face. Female large bully dog or bull mastiff. bulldogs have better personalities. Need shorter tails and smaller snout to correct a long snout)

Black collar pup: had to take collar off. pup could not move. leg caught in the collar all the time. this upset leloo. She is better now. Maybe now he will gain weight as he can find milk?

Monday:

Tue. cold. not eating. warm blankets. There is no hope.

Grn collar pup, leg caught not able to eat. cold put on warm blanket with black. There is no hope. temp of room 77 degrees.

I can not believe what i am seeing. 9 thriving puppies all dying like before.

Leloo is panting in the hot closet. The bedding is dry. She does not curl up on the pups. She cleans them as she should but i don't think she keeps them warm enough.?

Leloo (no milk) out of Mulan and Qleanna (mr q x saigon). It can not be the Qleanna lines unless it comes from Mr Q.

3/25/22: Leloo had her pups and is possessive over them as is her sister Lucy which just had her pups also. Lucy went over to Ameys house and Leloo stayed with me in my bedroom. She had 13 pups of which only 6 has survived. She eats a ton of food! She was upset about the pups coming out of her and did not understand what was happening. She was so big in the belly she could not get around to the back end to clean anything up back there. She did NOT want her first pup and was kind of scared about it. Because I was there with her, she felt she needed to be at her best so i did my best to tell her that everything was ok. She finally sniffed the pup but it was better to not have them so she could get on with the next one. After the third pup she settled in with them. Her milk is coming in slowly. (too slow). Her sister Lucy enjoys motherhood better than this gal does.
Leloo walks with me without a leash and understands what 'go outside' means. She likes to be outdoors. She loves her kennel outside where it is her own bedroom so to speak. She does not really like other dogs or animals. This will probably be better once she is spayed. Because she was not 'trained' when she was young, this is what one gets, though she can be trained and will make a fantastic guard dog for someone. She is very scary looking. She minds her own business and wants others to mind their own business. She is not a fan of 'strangers' but will tolerate them if on a leash. She doesn't want to be a bad dog, she is very sensitive. Use food rewards.
Unfortunately, Leloo was unable to keep her pups warm enough, and the litter passed. We are currently waiting for the re-try of this litter with Ironheart.
1-29-22: Has been bred with Iron heart? This pup is very sensitive and reads body language. she does not like anything new. It takes time for her to adjust. Like her mom she is an escape artist. We are just now training her to come when called. She is a bold leader dog. In her season she has accepted other dogs but she is pretty much a loner dog. Once she has pups she will understand life better. She doesn't like to be bossed around or told what to do.
