Celebrating the Arrival of Our Adorable Puppies Born from Lady and Draco

The joy in our hearts is overflowing as we share the exciting news of our adorable puppies! After a successful mating between Lady, our beloved female, and Draco, her charming male partner, we welcomed a lively litter of puppies on September 17, 2025. This post will guide you through the joyful journey of this incredible event, from the mating process to the ecstatic moments of welcoming these little bundles of joy into our family.

The Mating Process

In July, we took a significant step by mating Lady and Draco. This was a carefully planned event. Both dogs underwent health checks to ensure they were physically ready for this important milestone.

Lady has always shown a gentle temperament and nurturing instinct. She is known for her calm nature, making her an ideal candidate for motherhood. Draco, celebrated for his spirited playfulness and robust build, proved to be the perfect mate.

The mating process was a success, filling us with hope and excitement about the future.

The Waiting Game

After the successful mating, we entered an exhilarating but anxious waiting period. We carefully monitored Lady's health and well-being, ensuring she received optimal nutrition during her pregnancy. She consumed high-quality puppy food rich in protein and essential nutrients to support her and the growing puppies.

Regular vet check-ups were crucial. We recorded Lady's progress and kept track of her weight, noting that she gained about 15% more than her regular weight, an encouraging sign of a healthy pregnancy. As the weeks passed, we prepared for the arrival of the puppies, gathering supplies like blankets, whelping boxes, and nursing bottles to create a cozy space for Lady’s delivery.

The Big Day

September 17, 2025, was a day we eagerly anticipated. As the day drew near, the excitement in our home was palpable.

When the time finally arrived, Lady began to nest, signaling that she was ready to give birth. We stayed by her side, providing comfort during this life-changing moment.

The experience was nothing short of magical. One by one, twelve puppies arrived, each more adorable than the last. They varied in color and markings, showcasing their unique traits even from birth.

Welcoming the Puppies

Once all the puppies were born, we took a moment to appreciate the miracle of life. Lady was a remarkable mother, instinctively caring for her newborns.

Each puppy began to display its unique personality characteristics early on. We noticed one puppy, the smallest of the litter, being particularly feisty and always vying for the best nursing spot. In contrast, another puppy was notably laid-back and content to snuggle up next to Lady. The bond forming between Lady and her puppies was heartwarming, as she nurtured and protected them with unwavering love.

Caring for the Newborns

Caring for a litter of puppies requires time, patience, and dedication. We quickly realized that each puppy needed individual attention. They required proper feeding, socialization, and health check-ups to thrive.

Lady was attentive, yet we stepped in to support her whenever needed. We ensured the puppies received the right nutrition and care, with each puppy gaining an average of 0.5 to 1 ounce daily in their early weeks, a crucial indicator of healthy growth.

As they grew, we were delighted to witness their playful antics and adorable interactions. Watching them build strength and coordination as they learned to explore their surroundings was a joy that made all the hard work worthwhile.

As we continue to care for these adorable puppies, we look forward to finding them loving homes where they can thrive and bring happiness to their new families.

Thank you for joining us in celebrating this special occasion! We can’t wait to share more updates as the puppies grow and develop their unique personalities.
