Congrats. What breed are the puppies. Thank you! The mother is Mini Border Collie and I believe she’s also mixed with Labrador. The father is a Great Pyrenees (not sure if he’s mixed as he’s not mine). There may be more than one father as well but if so I have no idea as of yet what the other(s) may be lol.

Yay! My lab had pups about eight years ago. Highlight of my day was coming home to see them. Not really any tips I can give because a lot of it is just common sense. Seeing as they're part lab, I'd keep an eye on how much they drink when feeding. Labs overeating is still a thing when they're only a few days old too.

The only advice I can give is to lay on the floor and be mobbed by puppies. Greatest feeling ever.

Awww, bless her! She looks worn out, and I'm not surprised! As for advice, just make sure they've got plenty of warm blankets to lay on, and Mama will do the rest. I can't recall how many weeks it is before you can start giving them food - but they'll only want milk for the time being.

Unfortunately, one of the puppies has passed. My girlfriend found it off to the side this morning and the mother refused to let it nurse and it was cold. We tried to warm it up using a heating pad and feeding it puppy formula but it didn’t make it. It was a runt so maybe that’s why.

I’ve got a 5 year old male border collie, Max. Love the breed. Looks like a happy mom there!
