Good morning !! It's been a little bit rough the last week, neither Kaia or mocha are having puppies which means no English mastiff puppies.π Raven was due with her pure bred cane corso litter on December 18 but went into labor on Sunday morning. I was originally pretty worried about it because puppies 10 days early won't survive. The first puppy was born at 8 am. Large, alive, breathing and fully developed. I was super confused because there's no way this is possible. Fast forward to Sunday evening, raven had been straining off and on without much intensity all day but towards evening I knew there must be a puppy stuck. I took her to an emergency vet 1 and a half hours away and they did an x-ray and ultrasound which showed 4 large puppies with heartbeats, and 4 small not fully formed puppies with no heartbeats and then one large puppy stuck with no heartbeat. They performed an emergency c section and saved the 4 still alive which brought the total live puppy count to 5.Three boys 2 girls. It came together in my mind what must have happened, our English mastiff male Mudge must have bred raven at some point before I ever took her to the cane Corso stud which then bred her October 16. So she was carrying puppies from two different studs, sired about 10 days apart. A very rare happening for sure. Anyway all that to say, I'll be starting to accept reservations on the pups starting December 30. If you have any questions or want to video chat to see the pups let me know !!
