Airedale Terrier puppy birthing

Annie, our 4 1/2 year old AKC registered Airedale Terrier had her first litter of puppies in January. This video shows Annie letting her first three puppies nurse on the day of birth.

Actually, the entire Airedale birthing process took approximately eight hours. Except for two puppies that were enclosed in the same sack and burst at the same time, each puppy was born individually. So this video shows Annie letting her first three puppies nurse before the fourth puppy arrives. Read more

Airedale Puppy Tail Docking

Two day old Airedale Terriers at the Vet for tail docking and Dewclaw removal.

This is what the AKC says on the subject of tail docking and dewclaw removal: Many owners of specific breeds wish to maintain their dog’s historic practical function by having their puppy’s ears cropped, tails docked, or dewclaws removed. While some unfamiliar with the breeds believe that this is purely aesthetic, these procedures actually enhance the dog’s ability to perform the tasks it is meant to do. Read more

California Airedale Puppies 4 Weeks Old

4 week old Airedale puppies playing here in San Diego California.

Yesterday was the puppies four week old birthday! Annie, the Mom, had nine puppies, three females and six males.

Of the nine puppies, we only had three females. Here are their photos, from left to right, the colors are: yellow, red and purple.

The birthing pen, was left open so any could enter and exit any time she wanted. To keep the puppies in we put a small corrugated plastic separator between the gates, so Annie could just step over this to enter, but the puppies couldn’t get over it to get out. Read more

Airedale puppy birthday!

Happy Airedale 3 week puppy birthday!

1 week old Airedale puppies

Yes, on 1-2-2019 in the afternoon all nine puppies were born from about 2:58 PM to 11:50 PM.

After the first few days of birth, I went back to letting Annie naturally feed her pups. Well, in just 3 days, I would say it was a partial success. Now, for you folks who believe in letting things go all natural, I’m sorry to say I did have to intervene to help Annie out, but, just during the first few days..

Airedale Terrier puppy

I got today’s idea for a post from a comment by Ann, on my Facebook post yesterday showing the first puppy to open its eyes. She said ‘Your peace is over'” Personally, I think I have a little more time before real bedlam sets in.

You know what? I’m looking forward to every minute of this experience. Sure, sleeping on the sofa to be next to them when Annie goes in for an evening feed, really breaks up my sleep cycle but I’m getting used to it now. As with any growing family I’m planning expansion of their play area and new little puppy bowls so they don’t crowd each other out when it’s time to eat semisolid food. Read more

Airedale Terrier puppies Southern California

Three day old Airedale Terrier puppies born in San Diego California.

This video was taken when their eyes still had not opened. It was about a week before their eyes started to open. Even when the eyes are open, the first few days, I don’t think they are seeing correctly. It takes a little while for all the pathways to develop for correct vision. Read more
