Well my Great Dane was pregnant and delivered 12 live puppies and one dead one. The mom was doing great, until the second night when she suddenly got sick and died. We have been hand feeding the puppy's. Finally got most of them to their new family's. We lost two of the puppies, but the rest seem to be doing fine. The puppy's are half Great Dane, and half English Mastiff (known as Danniff's). We where only going to keep one of the puppy's, but decided to keep two of them because them mom died.

Here are the two we are keeping . They are 7 days old, and the male weighs 2 pounds and the female weighs 2.6 lbs. The female is named Cloe (which was her mom's name) and the male we are thinking of Draco.

Dang helo sorry to hear that. It sucks to lose a good family pet. I hope y'all get lots of enjoyment from your new puppies.

Sorry Brad! Looks like ya'll have your work cut for you also, trying to raise two puppies.

Thanks guys. We where raising 12 puppies, and we never got done feeding. But right now we have 3, and should have the extra one gone either tonight or tomorrow. Takes about 15 minutes each to feed, and they need fed every 4 hours.

Here are our 2 puppy's. They made 3 weeks old yesterday and the male Draco weighs 5.1 lbs and the female Chloe weighs 6.1 lbs.

Them are going to be some big dogs. Sorry to hear about the Mom

When will they be old enough to not bottle feed?

Thanks


They will be off the bottle on Monday, yeah.

Are you offshore until then?

Yeah, weather permitting I should be home Tuesday night.

I guess we will get to meet them on Friday then.

Yeah buddy, looking forward to it.

Those puppies are gonna be HUGE LOL!! Glad they are doing ok. Sucks about the mom.
