Puppy Number FOUR, male
This boy was born at 0416 hours and weighed 4.16 ounces. He has a unique "half-pant" on his left rear leg! I think he will be plated.
Puppy Number THREE, male
Puppy Number 3 is a male, born at 0448 hours and weighing 4.76 ounces. His feet pads are mostly pink, but have some black so I am not sure yet whether he will be plated or roan.
Puppy Number TWO, male
This boy was born second, at 0436 hours. He weighed 3.48 ounces. He should be roan.
Puppy Number ONE, female
The first puppy born was a female, at 0430 hours on May 5, 2008. She weighed 4. 12 ounces. Following the "dirty feet" theory, she will be roan.
Everyone is doing well
Mom and babes are doing well. Eleven puppies was not unexpected, as Confetti was quite large, but that is simply alot of puppies! By the end, Tom was calling out "stop already! It's a vagina, not a clown car!" I am grateful for the couple of weeks when Confetti will do the clean up duty and handle all the feeding needs.
I learned that this is nowhere near the record for Small Munsterlander litters. It is actually quite a common number. Donar has sired multiple litters of equal number. In the United Kingdom, two litters were born to the same parents, producing 12 and 13 pups respectively. The largest surviving litter of large munsterlanders is apparently 19 puppies.

E LITTER PUPS HAVE ARRIVED!!
Our "E" litter munsterlander pups have arrived! We are proud to announce 11 new little cuties; 7 boys and 4 girls. Mom and babies are all doing well. Dad just wants his breakfast! <grin> I will add the individual photos and descriptions soon, but in the meantime, here is a selection of puppy pics! The almost all-white pup is a male. The pup with the star on the back is a female. I marked them with a colored marking pen initially but I think Confetti has since licked off my markings! I will anxiously await discovering which pups are roan! I think I heard Confetti request that I allow only a SINGLE visit from Donar next time!
