Hello Pup Pals! Now that the dust has had a chance to settle, I'm going to play a little catch up.

As each of you on the wait list are aware, Getka welcomed her litter of 12 precious babes on the 21st. Each one loaded with potential that is Doberman. I look forward to getting to know each and every one and getting them through their first eight weeks before officially handing the reins over to their new families.

There will be many photos and updates here in the coming weeks so check back often. And don't be shy about commenting. Questions and or comments. The interaction makes blogging considerably more fun for me. Additionally, if you have questions there's a good chance others may have the same ones.

So, the past few days have been busy ones... Getka began the nesting process around 11pm Thursday night just as I was getting ready to turn in. Exhausted. And I thought, oh boy.... here we go. It's showtime.
But, fortunately for me she settled and we both got some sleep. Her first pup arrived at 7am Friday. It's not too often I'm blessed with a daytime delivery. But when they occur, they're always appreciated!

The whelping process and the lead up always create quite a bit of anxiety for me.  But with each successful delivery, that anxiety slowly began to dissipate. It seemed my girl was likely done around five.  I quickly changed out the birthing bedding with some fresh sheets and settled in to simply relax, watch some TV and hang out with Getka and our new arrivals. Watching and listening... monitoring.

Our last pup arrived around 5pm... at least the last one I witnessed. But she had a holdout providing me with a morning surprise. One more than I counted the night before.

All in all Getka, with such a large litter, did a great job of fulfilling our current reservation list. Especially on the female side of things. We did come up a little short on males but Hopefully Ritz will soon step up to the plate and fulfill those requests.

Yesterday was another day of watching and monitoring. And some relaxing. I also made my calls to update all on the reservation list. The list has been adjusted accordingly, and a new "upcoming litter" tab added above. With just one red male and one red female, Mitch (and Holly) as well as Dalanda can watch the blog and their pups specifically right out the gate. The rest of you will be held in anticipation until roughly the 6-7 week mark when the selection process begins. The pups will begin their outdoor excursions around the 4 week mark. And by 6 weeks each will have gained some confidence and some personality will begin to develop.  I'll try and make the wait and the process enjoyable for all.

I'm happy to report my girl has settled in well to her role as mom. She was a bit of a nightmare with her first litter. But as they say, practice brings forth perfection.

Below are a few pics taken the day and evening of arrival.

Practicing my hearts... can't comment with a heart from my Mac but phone and tablet allow it. Not sure why the one I added to your comment shows grey. It's the most basic main heart used elsewhere and always shows red. In messenger it sends an upward avalanche of hearts.
Probably not worthy of mentioning as you know me well enough to know my heart's in the right place. But still.....

I'm so proud of getka and thankful for your tireless work in bringing these special companions into the world and love them until we take them home to their forever home. I know I don't have a puppy in this litter but I am still so excited to watch them grow in anticipation for my baby Blitz from the next litter. Thank you guys for all the hard work.

We've been having pretty restful nights. I, lulled to sleep each night by the sounds of content new babes. I love listening to them.

What a great job Getka and Deb! Thankfully no losses either. Its been years since I had kids but it sure feels like daddy is eager again!

Thanks Mike. While I don't have kids myself, it seems there are a lot of similarities between raising pups and raising kids. Lots of love and an equal amount of patience. Time and commitment required for both. But pups grow physically as well as mentally a lot quicker. So boundaries and discipline are also a factor that comes more quickly.

Great to hear from you Mel! And yes, she certainly did. Very proud of her. She has brought lots of joy and eager anticipation to a lot of people. Going out with a bang as this is planned to be her last litter. Time, condition and continued health testing though will be the deciding factor. Maybe one more... but doubtful.

I'm anxious to see what she's hiding! I expect she'll be a bit earlier than her June 1st expected date based on her progesterone test. A bit surprised she conceived actually based on her level at time of breeding. She's not overly large at this point so I don't expect an overly large litter. Contemplating X-ray for count but not sure yet. X-rayed Getka for a count of nine or ten. A bit off from the 12 we got. Just not sure how valuable they are.
Expected Getka a little late based on the calendar. Called that one right. We'll see if I'm right with Ritz... have been getting prepared for her though.
Cut some boards for a new whelping box before Getka whelped. Had one heck of a time finding hinges with removable pins! Glad I began collecting supplies early!!! Today working intermittently on covering the boards with plastic wallboard. My kitchen is currently construction zone central. Tomorrow it's on to sewing a waterproof cover for the pad. Will set her up in her own private room Thursday if not tomorrow night. Ritz is going to have her own suite. My computer room. Will be camping out on on a combo chair and multiple ottoman set up when her time comes. Hopefully I don't fall through the cracks! Challenging but have a good plan going forward. Getka's pretty settled with her babes. I'm always home so I'll be making the rounds throughout the day in normal daily travels. Daytime with Ritz and my blog. Nighttime and some TV with Getka. Getting it figured out!
