California Airedale Puppies 4 Weeks Old

4 week old Airedale puppies playing here in San Diego California.

Yesterday was the puppies four week old birthday! Annie, the Mom, had nine puppies, three females and six males.

Of the nine puppies, we only had three females. Here are their photos, from left to right, the colors are: yellow, red and purple.

The birthing pen, was left open so any could enter and exit any time she wanted. To keep the puppies in we put a small corrugated plastic separator between the gates, so Annie could just step over this to enter, but the puppies couldn’t get over it to get out.

Airedale puppy birthday!

Happy Airedale 3 week puppy birthday!

Yes, on 1-2-2019 in the afternoon all nine puppies were born from about 2:58 PM to 11:50 PM.

After the first few days of birth, I went back to letting Annie naturally feed her pups. Well, in just 3 days, I would say it was a partial success. Now, for you folks who believe in letting things go all natural, I’m sorry to say I did have to intervene to help Annie out, but, just during the first few days..

Airedale Terrier puppies Southern California

Three day old Airedale Terrier puppies born in San Diego California.

This video was taken when their eyes still had not opened. It was about a week before their eyes started to open. Even when the eyes are open, the first few days, I don’t think they are seeing correctly. It takes a little while for all the pathways to develop for correct vision.

at 9 days old….

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

The Airedale is the largest of the British terriers. They weigh 19–25 kilograms (42–55 lb) in fit condition and have a height at the withers of 58–61 centimetres (23–24 in) for males, with females slightly smaller. The American Kennel Club standard specifies a very slightly smaller dog. Larger Airedales, up to 55 kilograms (121 lb) can sometimes be found in North America. They are sometimes referred to as “Oorangs” as this was the name of a kennel in Ohio in the early 1900s that produced this much larger variation, or Roosevelt Terriers. All right

Airedale Newborn Pups

I guess for Annie,feeding nine newborn pups was a bit much. On the second day, she would actually walk out or hesitate even walking into the whelping area. So, I decided to intervene on nature’s way, and feed the pups about every two hours, but not all at once. I’ve been keeping the pups in a separate blanket lined container and taking five out for the first shift and then the other four for the second shift.

Airedale Puppies

Nine AIREDALE TERRIER PUPPIES born on 1-2-2019

First of all, Annie, Judi & I would like to say thanks to all my human Airedale companions who expressed great interest in this joyous occasion. Also, a special thanks to the professional breeders and local home breeder who offered great advice and put up with my calling for advice as situations arose.

We were well prepared for the delivery and what to expect but sometimes things don’t always go as expected. The stillborn of puppy number four was totally unexpected and very sad for us. Continue reading “Airedale Puppies”
