Kisses delivered a total of 9 pups, 6 boys and 3 girls. Mr. Blue was our first pup, arriving at 6:44 pm on April 1st. It was after 4am before our last puppy, Mr Yellow was born. Puppies weighed between 11 oz (a little girl) and 17 oz (Mr Yellow) with most puppies around 14 oz. Kisses settled into the routine very easily even giving birth to one of her babies while she was sound asleep! |
