Yarrowfell Dalmatians

Gold's Puppies


Soon after the puppies were born

On Monday 6 December Gold, Ch Yarrowfell Supermodel ET, went into labour and delivered 6 puppies, 2 of which were stillborn. The father was Chips (Trailblazer Mr Chips) owned and bred by Joy and Brian Venables of Bungendore.


The four puppies at one day old.


The puppies at one week of age.

The times and weights of the puppies are:

Number Time Weight at birth Weight at 1 week Sex Name Comments
1. 0515 10.5 oz 24.5 oz Male Blue Born outside on the lawn!
2. 0815 5.75 oz Female Stillborn
3. 0930 9.5 oz 21 oz Female Peach Born in the vet's carpark
4. 1020 Female Stillborn
5. 1047 10.5 oz 24 oz Female Magenta
6. 1130 9.5 oz 21 oz Male Coffee


The puppies at three weeks of age.

Gold suffered from Uterine Inertia and required injections of Oxytocin. Those stillborn spent too long in the birth canal and we could not revive them. In hindsight we should have physically assisted with their birth especially the 1020 girl.

To save a few emails from people who are interested, all of the puppies already have homes. We maintain a waiting list of prospective owners of puppies (some people have been on it for two years), and all new owners are extensively "vetted" before we let them have one of the pups. This involves, at the very least, visiting our farm prior to the birth to see the fully grown dogs, discussions on what to expect from a Dalmatian and how to train them, and a commitment to undertake basic obedience while the puppy is growing up. As someone once said who went through this process "It's like trying to adopt a child getting a puppy out of you!".

These photos were taken at the "Puppy Party" held when the puppies were seven weeks old.
