The puppies were born!!! During the course of the day, 4 males plus 5 females came into this world. Instinctively, Tara mastered the situation perfectly well. At 2 p.m., the first puppy, a female, was born.  Six more puppies followed, only minutes apart, so that at 3:16 p.m., 7 puppies had been born.
After taking their time, two more puppies were born. The last one at 7:20 p.m. Tara was in great condition, doing very well, and all of the puppies were extremely lively.
Right away, all puppies seemed to have picked the same pastime. It's called "empty Mama completely" or "suck all you can". The little monsters have even managed to increase their weight within the first 24 hours.
All of us would like to take the opportunity to thank "godmother" Corinna and "kind of Mother" Sabine for their support.
And here are the pictures of their first day alive:
 

In the beginning, there was complete chaos … Everybody tried to get to the milk first …

Okay, we're getting there, looks much better already …

Hey! Way to go! That's what's called life experience :. Everybody lined up perfectly well. The largest girl (orange) had already knocked herself out before the rest got organized.
