Mini Doxie Giving Birth to a Puppy; born: 04.19.2009

This vid is of my miniature dachshund delivering a puppy on Sunday evening, April 19, 2009. This is the last puppy being born (5 of 5). The mother dog was tired and also the pup's paws came out tucked in a wrong position, so, the puppy was stuck a bit and had to be pulled out. Once out, the puppy had to be "thrown" some to clear the lungs of the fluid it had ingested (DON'T TRY THIS UNLESS YOU HAVE BEEN TRAINED TO DO IT). This may be a bit too GRAPHIC VIDEO for some to watch... but, it is interesting, especially if you have never seen an animal give birth. It was the first I had seen... pretty gross... but, pretty cool too!

I have a pregnant mini doxen named Reesee and she'll be having her puppies in 2 weeks. This video reminds me of her and all the help she'll be receiving.

Good luck... this dog's name is Snickers and her sister's name is Reese (Reese is a short haired, chocolate, cream and tan double dapple). Snickers had 5 pups here (I kept 2 of them) and Reese had 2 of her own a year ago on Valentine's Day... I kept both of Reese's puppies too. The three other pups that I gave to friend come over and play once and an while too... Sitll one big happy doxie family! Enjoy your puppies when they come!!!

This is an interesting video and so sweet. I also think you should really really back off. It's not right to force her into positions she isnt comfortable in or make her push when she isn't in contractions. Nature tells her body what to do and nature should really be left alone naturally. It looked like she was tired though and maybe stressed from all the poking and poking and poking and pulling and petting. Thanks for putting this up though! Nice video and sone beautiful pups!

Thanks... I am the owner (& camera man). "Snickers" had 5 pups.. she was huge. This was the final pup. The others were easier & she did do most of the work... we did pet her & talk to her. This last pup was pretty big (he still is, I have him too). His feet were turned the wrong way & he was stuck & the bag broke before he got all the way out (took in some fluid). I am glad they all turned out OK. No more puppies though... poor doggie... but, she was/is a GREAT mom.

medical gloves perhaps a good idea?

I'm the camara man (and dog's owner). I was at a safe distance... yep, it was nasty! Momma dog is fine, I kept the first pup and the last one (shown being born here)... all are great dogs.

@dlc55555 My relatives have a Silky Terrier named Snickers. And thank you. :)

I think you guys did an awesome job delivering this pup. Sometimes they need a little bit of help. I have a long haired doxie too, and we tried to breed her, but she just didn't want to mate. We even waited for her to be most fertile and ready, but she's not a mater, I guess... Watching this video helped me feel better...

poor baby. a lot of interference going on there and keep in mind that while the puppies are feeding, it induces contractions which aides in the birthing process. using no gloves was also not good for either human or animal. no offense intended. glad everything turned out ok.

To all of the "leave the dog alone" people, The owner has stated the person doing this was trained, and doing it under special circumstances (last of many, breech, placenta already separated). I am a huge fan of nature taking its course, but sometimes natures course it to kill the baby and occasionally mom too. This is where intervention is a good thing.

Awww so beauiful, but aren't mother dogs giving birth supposed to have their pups in a whelping box ? And is she allowed to stand up and give birth ????

[Erikaax33iily]

AWWW!!

Nice video, but I do agree with PeachMushoroomMario, let nature take it's course.
