Carina Delivers DMAR Chablis on 1/30/10:
There was no doubt in our minds that Carina was in labor. She is one of the first to the feeder in the morning and on the 30th she had no interest in eating. She stood still just humming. I called a client who never saw a cria being born and advised that Carina was in labor, but her normal birthing usually occurs around 12 to 1 pm. Therefore, they had plenty of time to come on out.
At around 12:30 pm Carina still didn’t look very dialated. I thought she would hold out until even later in the day. However, at 1 pm she kushed and then laid on her side. This is it I advised my clients. I then went on to tell them that Carina has given birth to all her crias laying down. For her this is normal. At 1:22 pm Chablis pulled her own legs out of mom and started moving around frantically. My client’s seven yr. old daughter was amazed at the whole site.
DMAR Chablis weighed 17 lbs at birth and is white. She had little problem nursing and is gaining weight. She is simply adorable.
Carina is doing well too. She loves her cria and is very attentive to her. When Chablis started to walk she tripped going onto the deck. Carina ran over to her humming hard. When Chablis tried to get up her back leg went to the side and she fell onto her stomach. Carina shrieked loudly. The clients were stunned at how worried Carina was over her cria.
Chablis’ sire is HRAZ Lock & Load. This is Lock & Load’s third female cria out of five offspring.Click Here for more information on HRAZ Lock & Load and his stud fee.
