Pregnancy
Ustajala arrived at DKV Rottweilers as a recent European import while expecting her first litter with us. She quickly settled into her new surroundings and showed us her friendly, social personality.
Angel placed her on a carefully managed program of nutritional and supportive care, and within a short time, the improvement in her overall condition was remarkable. Ustajala made herself right at home, remained happy and comfortable, and enjoyed a smooth pregnancy from start to finish.
Delivery Day
Ustajala’s big day began around 2:00 a.m., and it turned into a very long but incredible day at DKV. Her first puppy was a little difficult for her to pass, but once she made it over that first hurdle, she seemed to figure everything out and handled the rest like a pro.
As the hours went by and Ustajala became more tired, something really stood out to us: the amount of trust she placed in Angel. She would simply lie down and allow him to help with whatever was needed, assisting with deliveries, cleaning and checking each newborn, and placing the puppies with her to begin nursing. Considering how recently Ustajala arrived at DKV, seeing her already feel that safe and comfortable with us was pretty incredible.
By around dinnertime, the final count was in: 6 males and 3 females, a whopping 9 beautiful puppies! After such a long day, Ustajala was more than ready for a large meal and some sleep.
A good nap apparently did the trick, because she woke up completely devoted to her new babies. She has absolutely blown us away with how attentive she is to every single puppy. With nine little ones to keep track of, she somehow seems to know exactly where everyone is. She doesn't want a puppy wandering more than a few inches away, keeps them impeccably clean, and is constantly checking and caring for them.
For a first delivery with us, Ustajala could not have impressed us more. Mama and her nine babies are tucked in, comfortable, and doing exactly what they should be doing.
Now it’s time for some much deserved rest…
for Angel. 😂
