Two nice males from Brooklyn and CHopper breeding

Tyra has 8 puppies -3 males and 5 females:

One of the puppies was born green – he s name is Shrek:

“Sometimes, when a puppy is born, the amniotic fluid mixes with the placenta and dyes the coat of the puppy and it almost always happens to very light colored puppies,” says Anna Zorrilla with the Louisiana SPCA.

She says the puppy will likely turn white in color in a few weeks. She also says the puppy’s health is not affected by the color.

“There are not health concerns,” Zorrilla said. “It’s really just a discoloration in the birthing process.”

Stage One of Labor:
During the first stage of labor the cervix begins to dilate and uterine contractions begin. These contractions are painful and perplexing to the dog. She will appear quite uncomfortable and restless – pacing, shivering and panting. She probably will not eat and she may even vomit. Some dogs whine persistently. Others occupy themselves building a nest. Uterine contractions, although occurring, are not as easy to see as in humans. This is the longest stage of labor. It generally lasts six to eighteen hours. By the end of this period the dog’s cervix will have completely dilated for the puppies to pass. During this period keep the mother’s environment quiet and calm. I usually shut them off in a darkened area such as the bathroom.

Hi Kinga & Martin,

We realized yesterday that exactly 1 year ago we came out to pick up our American Bulldog puppy Bentham!

He’s doing great.  We had him weighed at the vet last week and at 14 months he’s 115 Ibs!  He ‘s measuring 26″ at the whithers and 24″ around his neck.  Bentham has really started to bulk up over the past few months and his chest is getting really big.  He is such a handsome boy!  Everywhere we go people stop us to meet him.

Personality-wise Bentham is very outgoing.  He still has a lot of puppy exuberance and gets pretty wound up; he is definitely high-energy for an american bulldog!  We’ve done 3 levels of obedience with him and are starting agility.  This summer we moved out to a farm and have 50 acres.  It’s great to have so much space for Bentham to run and play.

In terms of health, Bentham is doing really well, but it’s taken a while to get here.  He was really sick for a long time and no one could tell us exactly what was wrong.  His immune system was really weak and he caught kennel cough twice last winter and developed demodex.  We treated him with Advantage-multi for the mange, but he was still having trouble with rashes, inflammation between his toes, itchy ears, chronic bowel irritation, etc.  Finally we switched vets and our new vet had him tested for allergies right away.  Poor guy has TONS of allergies!  He’s now on a hypo-allergenic kibble (California naturals) and he get injections every 2 weeks.  Things have improved 300 percent since his allergy testing and his mange is totally gone.  He is a very active and healthy guy.  We love him!

best wishes,
Catherine & Christopher
