Enjager Sapphire and Gunalt Overhear 2016

We are pleased to announce that on the 15th & 18th December 2015 we took our stunning Weimaraner Enjager Sapphire or as we call her Saphy to meet Gunalt Overhear, or as he is affectionately known HERO.

This is the second mating between Sapphire & Hero, their first meeting resulted in Enjager Emerald Sunset, who can be seen sitting on top of her mother in the photomontage at the top of the page.

Please see opposite Sapphire's pregnancy scan video, unfortunately the scan doesn’t tell us how many puppies Sapphire has but it confirms she is pregnant at an early stage.

5wks in to her pregnancy and Sapphires tummy is starting to show.

When Sapphire is 40 days in to her pregnancy, we start worming her daily with Panacur until 3 days post whelping, this helps reduce pre-natal worm infections and the transfer of worms to the pups from the mother.

Sapphire acting bashful, but don't believe it for one minute.

Thanks to Scott for helping us make Sapphires whelping box, its a work of art.

We might think the whelping box is top notch, but the real test is what Sapphire thinks and we think its passed the test.

Sapphire's at the stage in her pregnancy where she's always hungry, its important that she eats good quality food supplemented with a condition tablet to ensure she has all the nutrients her developing Weimaraner puppies need.

I see a Weimaraner puppy tummy.

Sapphire deep in thought, while relaxing in front of the TV.

Out for a leisurely stroll and a bit of a sniff around, just to see what she can find.

Another stroll, but this time with her Weimaraner family, all trying to sniff out anything edible and a few things that aren't.

Sapphire's big Weimaraner puppy tummy, hopefully she won't get much bigger, her tummies not far of the floor.

There's always time for a bit of grooming from mum, even if it isn't very lady like.

Weimaraner's, all waiting patiently at the gate, one things for sure, if Saphy wasn't pregnant she would be trying to climb through the gaps.

There's always time for a treat, how big is that Weimaraner puppy tummy now.

We are pleased to announce Enjager Sapphire has been whelping all day to day, she has given birth to 8 beautiful Weimaraner puppies.

DAY 1

After a long day Saphy eventually gave birth to 4 boys and 4 Girls, mother and pups are all well.

DAY 2

Sapphire staring lovingly at her new puppies, while we change their bedding.

DAY 3

Its not easy been the mum to 8 hungry little Weimaraner puppies, poor Saphy won't even leave them to eat, for the first couple of days we have to feed her in the whelping box.

DAY 4

Even at a few days old we start to see little characters apearing out of the litter, the little Weimaraner puppy in the photo decided it was a good idea to suckle mum while upside down, not a good idea.

DAY 5

All Sapphires little Weimaraner pups have their new collars on now so we can identify them.

DAY 6

From birth Saphy's Weimaraner puppies are weighed daily, so we can check their weight gains and make sure they are all feeding correctly.

The little Weimaraner pups grow fast now, they quickly start to look more like Weimaraners, especially when their ears start growing.

DAY 12

As you can see in the photo, the Weimaraner puppies faces are changing fast, their ears and snouts grow and they start looking more like little Weimaraners.

DAY 13

Over the last two days some of Sapphires Weimaraner puppies eyes have started opening, better watch out usually as soon as their eyes open they try escaping the whelping box .

DAY 14

While Sapphire's puppies are feeding, Sapphire is constantly grooming them, its a hard life been a mum to 8 little pups.

DAY 15

A brief moment of piece & quiet for Sapphire, all her pups are fed and groomed and resting.

DAY 16

Sapphire's pups started their two week worming yesterday, fare to say they didn't like it.

DAY 17

As the Weimaraner pups grow, so do their nails and unfortunately for Saphy they scratch her when their suckling, hence we clip their nails regularly.

Sapphire keeps a watchful eye over her Weimaraner puppies, their nearly big enough to escape the whelping box.

DAY 29

Saphy's pups have now moved in to our NEW Puppy Creche, a purpose built puppy area with underfloor heating. This allows Saphy to be able to visit her pups whenever she wants 24/7, but more importantly when she leaves the creche the pups can't follow. This allows Sapphire to have her own time and come and go as she pleases so she can recoup and regain her condition.

DAY 30

We introduced Sapphires little Weimaraner puppies to additional milk yesterday, this helps take some of the strain off Sapphire and helps satisfy the puppies ever growing need for food.
