There are 4 boys and 2 girls!
Xena made her delivery very straight forward and uncomplicated. She went into labor on the day I forecast and gave me clear signs. She started her delivery late at night and finished early in the morning. Being an experienced mother, Xena was perfect in starting all the puppies nursing. The puppies’ weights were as expected, they had great appetites, and squirmed around well. Say hello to the Cinco de Mayo litter.
Because my special guy Lennon is the father of this litter, the puppies are very colorful.

Xena’s puppies’ colors are as I expect from her and Lennon…a variety.
The boys are: 2 cream colored; black & white; red & white. Girls: sable with white spot on head, red & white with red spot on head.

The Cinco deMayo puppies are all growing nicely. Besides getting bigger, each of their colors are getting more vivid. They crawl around the pen quite well and have no problem either finding Xena or other litter mates.

This litter is behaving and growing just as they should. Several of the puppies have passed the 1 pound weight threshold. They all have their eyes open and are standing…with a bit of wobbling. Their balance and movement will quickly improve. This is also the timeframe when they will get more vocal!
