Puppies have arrived!

Our very first litter sired by CH Atlantis Wildcat Victory (Victory) and CH Dalmino's Victory Vegas (Vegas) arrived 1/2 yesterday and 1/2 today.  The biggest puppy was born first at 9:00 P.M. yesterday, and I was really sweating it whether she was going to need emergency help.  It took her 1 3/4 hours of pushing to get the first puppy out and he was a very large, vigorous, and intelligent liver boy.  He immediately latched on and started sucking, and has no problem finding his way to food!  The second puppy born at 9:15 P.M. yesterday is the runt of the litter, another liver boy. He is not sucking very well, and not finding his way to the food, or even accepting help finding his way.  I'm worried about him.  The 3rd puppy was born at midnight, and I think is a black and white girl.  The 4th puppy, a boy was born at 12:10 A.M., the 5th a boy at 1:00 A.M., and the 6th, a black and white girl at 2:00 A.M.  We finally got some rest at 4:00 A.M., and up again at 6:00 A.M. to start the day.  Having puppies is not for the faint of heart!  Vegas is being an awesome mother, cleaning the pups, staying in the whelping box with them, feeding them, and just being a very wonderful and concerned mother, but accepting all attention from us, her family.  Here are a couple of pictures.
