Tizzy Wing started panting during the night and was very restless at 3am. My other dogs wouldn't settle and I wondered if she needed to go out, so I got up and checked her for the 3rd time and let her out. A few seconds later she was happy (she peed on the driveway at the door quickly) and chuffed off to the room again. No sooner were the lights out, and I heard some panting again. Time to call Sam to get over to my house... I was pretty sure that labour had started! At 4am I got up and made up the whelping room (in the middle of a downpour with thunder)..... did my phone-a-friend thing again, and Sam came over. By 5am we were ready to rock 'n roll, and soon after the first pup appeared!
To all the prospective puppy owners, I thought that you would like to see the photographs, videos, and updates of the Mackland puppies while they are still with me. These Border Collie & Shetland Sheepdog puppies are lovingly bred and raised in my home. This blog lets me show you step by step how your baby is raised. It highlights each step from mating to 8 weeks old. I hope that you all enjoy reading about them as much as I enjoy having them in my house!

Day 58 - SURPRISE!!!
Well, what a shock to have a girl in labour so early.... exciting and very stressful.
Tizzy Wing started panting during the night and was very restless at 3am. My other dogs wouldn't settle and I wondered if she needed to go out, so I got up and checked her for the 3rd time and let her out. A few seconds later she was happy (she peed on the driveway at the door quickly) and chuffed off to the room again. No sooner were the lights out, and I heard some panting again.

By 5am we were ready to rock 'n roll, and soon after the first pup appeared!
I will give more on the pups later... here are just a few pics of this morning 5-8am
