Mitten
Mitten is just under a week away from her due date and now beginning to "nest". She spends a majority of her day resting by the fire fueling her pups. Her days are relaxing and she's becoming somewhat familiar with the whelping box (even though she doesn't care to be in it for more than 5 minutes).
At this time, Mitten's puppies are fully developed, all have fur and are crowded inside her. They are very active as they prepare for their upcoming birth. The next blog posting should be a birth announcement!

Maple
Maple has just entered into her 7th week of pregnancy. She is still growing rounder and wider but she looks so small in comparison to Mitten. Maple is due to whelp March 5th. She will now begin shedding the hair on her belly in preparation for the birth of her babies.
Maple's puppies are well-developed, and will now begin attaining size. Often times, we can see and feel the puppies' movements inside of Maple. This week the first hairs will appear on the pups and their skeleton will ossify.

Helpful References
Here are a couple of helpful references for Puppy Parents, I will be adding to these weekly. This is a great way to learn and prepare for your upcoming Airedale as well as learn about what your breeder is interested in! Again, just for reference. If you have any questions feel free to comment on the blog or email/call directly.
