Born yesterday...very large blue heelers - mom is a red heeler & blue heeler mix - dad is full blue... They are white when born except for the black markings & masks - body color starts coming in around 3 weeks, in order #1 - #5: boy, boy, girl, girl, boy Total labor/delivery started at 3am finished 2pm then a quick trip to the vet - Mom had a very tough time with #5, who was the largest pup, and breach... and I noticed about an hour later, Mom wasn't breathing properly... Both Mom and babies are all doing fine now - Mom was low on calcium and had somehow developed pneumonia of all things - vet thinks she probably swallowed water down the wrong pipe and pneumonia set in... Thanks for looking! ;D

It is good that you caught it and got her to the vets! Looks like the puppies are all healthy! I was going to say those pups don't look anything like the mom but I read what you wrote and learned something new! Very cool dogs! Fran
