Puppies
On November 26, 2023, Ciccia was mated by the black-and-gold stud dog Don't stop me now Ghipinaldo (aka: Lishi).
He is not only a very beautiful male, but among the 84 on the list https://en.hovawart.cz/database/stud-dogs.php he appears as stud dog with the second best result in the character test (97 out of 100 points).
On December 28th, the vet was able to find at least 8 puppies in an ultrasound. In order to look for more, she would have had to shave some of the fur on her stomach and we decided not to do that for Ciccia's sake. So there can be 10 in total.
The expected birth date is January 29, 2024!
Now it's time to assemble the whelping box, set it up and get Ciccia interested in it
Well in the end it started three days earlier than expected, i.e. during the early hours of January 26th between 1 am and 8 am Ciccia gave birth to 5 girls and 4 boys. The average weight for each puppy
was 521 g

8 days since birth two of the boys have already passed the 1-kg-mark. The average weight of the litter now is 843 g
Our firstborne has fallen asleep at the bar!
You can already imagine how very impressive the markings will be .
The eyes opening a bit further on day 12
Today we are exactly 2 weeks old! We can already walk on all fours! From now on we will demand lots more fun and games from our mother and her master.
Our average weight today is 1278 g. It ranges from 1070-1500g.
By the way: 4 of us are already taken!
Three weeks!
We are now three weeks old and weigh an average of 1.75 kg, (the smallest female 1.5 kg and the largest male almost 2 kg). For the sake of clarity, we have simply replaced the last photo gallery with one from today. Colours refer to the collars!

Ciccia has decided that it is more comfortable for her to nurse just three in her bed in shifts rather than all nine in the whelping box at once. The master is allowed to carry the puppies back and forth. He'll have to do it more and more often in the next few weeks anyway.
The new trend: ball bed instead of water bed
Now that the fourth week is over, we were allowed to take a bath today! To practice treading water and wash the leftover food out of your fur!
