10 star's


Ph.champion Asawood's heaven and earth a.k.a "STAR"



PH. Hof Asawood's Cross fire a.k.a "Bruce"

notice how many the pups here in the picture.. the 10th is still not included in this shot

we have a beautifull dobermann named star! shes loving and infact she is already a ph. champion finished her title in a very young age.. we decided to semi retire her for i while and plan her to be bred, so we decided to bred her with one of the famous doberman named "bruce" which is retired from showing and he is now at his prime 8 yrs old. but still posses the great form of a good dobermann. his owner is also a friend who is dedicated in breeding good quality dogs. it all happened with much anticipation and exitement.. two months of waiting is definetly worth it. on her 60th day i checked on her it was i think 11pm and i had this feeling that she will labor later on, and my hitch was right on the spot. she started giving signs that she will indeed labor later on. i waited and waited... after an hour she started laboring and her water bag broke and i was so nervous that time cause i still dont know if she can handle things(this is her first time giving birth) then came the first pup! it was a girl and i was very excited looking forward to the next pup that will come out... then came the 2nd,3rd,4th,................. up to the 9th! pup and it was already 7am! so literally i was up together with my kennel boy the whole night!!! i checked her and it seems to me that the 9th pup was the last one, so i decided to end the day and have some much awaited sleep!! i dont why but it seems that my body was already tired but my mind is telling me not to sleep yet, weird! but eventually i dozed off. all of a sudden i woke up after 2hrs. of sleep and decided to check on the pups and ofcourse there mom, so i went down to the kennel and glance at the puppies they were fine sleeping and every now and then crying,so i said to myself they must be hungry now, so i checked with there mom and shes literally down and sleeping.. cant blame her you can just imagine the pain of giving birth 9 big pups... as i touched her stomach i had this weird feeling that i seem to felt there is still something inside.. so i asked help from my helper to help her up top her feet for me to feel her stomach. i cant believe what i felt inside there is still 1 inside!!! i said to myself this is imposible... to make sure i asked the help of one of my friend veterenarian. i called him up to check on my dog.. he came and checked on star then to my surprise he confirmed it that indeed one more pup inside.. whew! here we go again wait and wait...... it was a long wait..... it took 24 hrs more! the next day as i went down early in the morning to check on her.. yet still no signs of the next pup to come out! i was i bit worried now... there must be something wrong with this.. im starting to get very worried. what if something happened to the pup inside, what if star really cant do it by herself.. i was thinking already if i need to bring her to the vet and have a ceasarian operation, i really must do something quick now! so i decided to rush her in the clinic and be evaluated by my friend vet. so he said lets still try if i can help her out the force the pup to come out without doing the operation.. so i was like pushing tru her stomach while the vet is trying to get a grab of the pup inside.... all of a sudden i saw the puppy coming out..... wow! i cant beleive it the pup is still alive and kickin!!! it was a relief indeed!!! at last the long wait ended and i am very happy and thankful that everthing went alright.... it was a hell of an expierence,,, but it was all worth it!!
