Our two and a half week old bull terrier pups!

For fun here's a follow up to my previous post here- things ended up well for our first and only litter for the time being, despite needing an emergency c-sec/spay for mom due to freakishly giant puppy (thankfully the last in line!). We opted for the spay for mom's sake, she had a high risk of having a damaged uterus, cervix + a high risk for uterine infection as the pup was in there for some time before we could get the operation under way.

Casper had a total of 6 but the giant one had suffocated before surgery was done and one girl was born still despite our best efforts(being a breach pup).

There are only 4, one of which we will keep, not sure which though! :D

Xray of the giant stuck pup, nose got stuck right at her pelvis. I knew something was wrong as soon as I did and internal exam and felt it. We are lucky she didn't rupture her uterus and bleed out pushing this pup.

Cute pups, no clue how you will pick just one! Sorry about the other two : (.

I know! I do like the tri with the small blaze on his nose (2nd pic). :p They are already walking pretty well

It was very sad but it's the risk of breeding. However, Casper is just fine and we have 4 very strong healthy pups, that's all you can ever really ask for :)

Beautiful pups! I really like the tri-color.

Btw it may just be a coincedence but I could have swore that I heard that Bull Terriers usually need a c-section for some reason, maybe the pups usully come out too large for momma. If thats true, that sucks for Bull Terrier breeders.

Cute babies. My husband absolutely loves those dogs.

I have two boston terriers. age 7-8. I know my wife wants a french bulldog, and bull terrier is high on my list. It would tough when our two boys pass :tears:

I love the tri boys :)

It's about 50/50. And, unlike in some breeds where certain lines may almost always free-whelp or need c-sec, bull terriers seem rather random. They can free whelp some litters and then the next time they can't seem to whelp them.

From what I've found most do at least need assistance in pulling them. In our case I had to keep them from slipping back up when she was between contractions by pressing from the outside. We also had to clean them because Casper just cared about the placentas at the time lol

@4ballz- Awww boston terriers seem like such wonderful little dogs.

Awww there so cute, i want one lol!!! I love puppies :)

I'll take the white one with the brindle ears ;)

those pups look nice i like the all white with the black ears.. congrats on the pups
