amazing! She has yet to
have an accident, slept
through the night, has
been eating up all her
food and is fitting in
perfectly with our

Thanks for raising such
a great dog! She will be

The Birth Of A Miniature Australian Shepherd Puppy ~ Photos
Most often, the mother moves into
different positions.  One minute up, the
next laying down.  It is obvious that she
is trying to find a comfortable position -
and this process helps move the
puppies into the birth canal.
The mother usually chews through the
cord with her teeth - Too clean a cut,
however, can cause bleeding from the
puppy's "belly button".  Generally, the
chewing action from the mother
crushes the cord and stops the blood
flow.  While accidents can sometimes
happen, usually momma dogs have
know how to care for their little ones.
You can see the puppy emerging here.
 It looks strange and shiny because it
still has the protective, fluid-filled helps
protect the baby while it is growing
inside the mother's womb, and also
provide protection during the birthing
process..
mother now, but still remains inside
the membrane. This must be
removed from around the puppy's
mouth and nose very quickly, as the
puppy will try and take a breath as
soon as the umbilical cord is
severed.  If the membrane is not
removed, the puppy can suffocate.
torn open and the puppy's head and
upper body are now out in the open!  It
is able to take its first breath of air!

At this point, it is sometimes a good
idea to gently pick the puppy up and
hold it upside down briefly, as it may
have inhaled some fluid.  Hanging
upside down can allow any fluid to
come back up - If very much fluid is
inhaled into its lungs, the puppy may
get pneumonia and die.
Ah!  Mother takes a few minutes to get
to know her new little one!  As mother
becomes familiar with her baby's scent,
she licks it all over to clean and dry it.

It is good to allow the puppy to begin
nursing as soon as it shows interest.  
This causes a hormone to be released
in the mother's body that makes her
uterus have more contractions.  This
helps move the other puppies though
the birth canal.
Notice the mother looking at her hind
end?  She is beginning to feel more
contractions and she knows a new baby
will be here soon!

The process begins again...
