(Emotional Video) Things Didn’t Go As Planned But The GUARD DOG PUPPIES Are Here! 

Hi, I was a breeder of Chinese Shar Pei for many years, so thought I'd offer you a little new pup advice. The puppies have to stay above 90°, or you will run the risk of losing them. If you really want her in the whelping box, move it closer to the place shes laying, and take the straw shes been laying in, and put it in the box... the box doesnt look like it has enough. If you want her to stay in the box, put a gate over the opening, that latches... I would also put blankets over the box to make it warmer... if you're going to leave her where she is, I'd hang a blanket over the fence, and tack it up on the other wall, like a roof, to keep in the warmth. Put a couple hay bales to cover the end behind her. The other thing is, she will not be hungry enough to leave her babies for a couple days... she just ate 10 placentas... natures way of giving the Mom nurishment, so they dont have to leave the den for a couple days... if you want to feed her, give her warm food, with warm water in it, and take it over to her, so she can eat it without getting up. Since she has 10 pups, and only 8 teets, you are going to have to watch them. If you see any looking smaller, or weaker, you may have to take the bigger pups out for an hour or two, and let the little ones nurse, or just them in 2 groups regularly... it will take her some time in between feedings to build up more milk, so, leave a space of abt at least hour or 2 before you put the 2nd group on her... The easiest way to do that, is tie a little piec of colored yarn on each pup, either 2 colors for the groups, or a diff color for each pup. If she doesnt have enough milk, you will have to supplement with bottles... looks like you have some nice pups, there... good luck to you all!

Thank you all for patiently waiting! We're getting so excited to share this with our beloved HHF Family.

21:00 the goats knew she was getting ready that's why they were staying so close . The MoMA goats knew she was in a vulnerable state so they were standing guard for her this time . Livestock will do that to their protector dogs they will return the favor you could say

Leave the puppies where she has them. You keep messing with them and she will move them out of the barn. She is a great Mama. She'll be fine. Feed her puppy food. It will give her the extra vitamins and minerals she needs.

She will keep moving them every time you do! If you’re not careful she will hide them! Just let her keep them where she wants ❤

Kora’s guardian angels, the goats are watching over her. They are giving her emotional support.🌻

I love how the goats and kids are determined to sleep beside and keep chores company. .... Even after you kicked them out lol and then she moved and had her babies on back side of the goat pens. I think Cora and the goats had an understanding.❤

Oh my gooosh! I dk why people can't leave animals alone?? She was trying to get away from people, the lights, the noise and the heaters. Let her have them where she wants to. She probably got hot. She will keep those puppies warm but giving birth is hard work. If dogs aren't comfortable they can stop the process and thats probably why she waited to have the second one. I know its wonderful to be there and see the miracle but.... just give her some space.

When I was little, I shared a full size bed with my twin sister. In the middle of the night, our German shepherd had her litter of puppies on our bed, while we slept!!! That was quite an education at around 6 years old, and something I remember clearly to this day, when I'm 61!!!

The reason she might not want her puppies in the box is because she still wants to guard her livestock. So the box might not be ideal for a livestock dog. She just wants to have her puppies close but also wants to be able to do her other job also.

When it comes to babies, Mama knows best!

Those goats are doing their job now😊 and protecting their guardian dog at all cost 😊 barn animals will do that Someone gave good advice about keeping mom and pups warm in one of these comments!!

She wants to keep doing her job and the sides of the welping box hide her view of her herd she’s protecting. She’s like ALL moms and multitasking now🙂

I know it's another comment, but it's funny that she was comfortable in the whelping box when the goats were there. When you removed them is when she got anxious and wanted to leave it. She's such a good dog wanting to watch over the goats while in labor.

What a great parents you are I was worried at first because it was so cold. Thank you for giving her a heat lamp turn it on as you can for her and the puppies.

You can add some puppy food to her meals as well, she needs it for that big gang❤❤❤

I love the way the goats wanted to be by her just like she's by them when they birth.

Just draft proof the area she chose to keep her pups in. I see light coming in the crack behind her on the right. I wouldn’t stress her trying to move them again. The louder the pups are, the closer to them she will stay. If she gets up to use the potty they will scream for her when they get cold. Nature’s way. Ours are Great Pyrenees, our heart breed. Please keep us updated on the herd of dogs! ❤ From the mountains of Virginia. ❤

WHISKEY IS SUCH A GOOD BOY HES LIKE CAN I HELP YOU MOMMA

Leski is sure interested and being a good Dad.

From the Kennel Club site. "In your whelping box, don't use hay, wood shavings or straw, as these can damage the puppy's skin and eyes. Also, don't have lots of small blankets or pieces of cloth as the puppies may crawl underneath them and either be smothered by them or may be crushed by their mum - one large piece of vetbed is ideal." You can use a couple of old blankets covered with a sheet. Then just change the sheet and the top blanket at the end of the day. Wash and dry and you're ready for the next day. Straw can poke and straw dust isn't good for puppy lungs. Staw is ok for livestock, but puppies are not like goats, horses, or cattle. Straw works for them. Please use "best practices".

It’s almost like she wants the comfort of the goats around her at security. I thought the goats might’ve been a problem being so close to her while she’s delivering but she wants the goats. They’re around her which is good she’s very close with them that’s a good guardian dog, she loves her goats and she wants him around her good protection for her❤❤❤

I've seen other guardian dogs with "midwife" ffrom their flocks to help keep puppies safe and in some cases warm. Seen puppies once up and about nursing off mommas from the flock too.

Your stalking emu gives me the biggest laugh every time you come on. 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤

I am crying with how sweet Leeske is being and Kora is being so strong

Now that the puppies are 5 or 6 days old, will you tell us if they 've all made it and are healthy? What a great mom Kora turned out to be.

I’ve never had a dog carry on and cry so much as she did d before having the pups. I would have taken her to the vet.

Oh my goodness. I feel like running out and buying 10 tiny onesies. Good idea? Ok i guess not. Much love to you all.

I have watched for a long time, but I don't comment. This video calls for a huge 'Attagirl' to Cora. The circle of life is amazing. 💯

Wow!!! Congratulations on 10 Puppies!!! That is Great she had no problems!!!! Let her decide where they stay!!! If not she may try to hide them from you!!! God Bless Us All!!!

Awe how sweet daddy and goats there support for mama👍😁😁💎💎💎

Beautiful, healthy lookijg puppies! And, Cora's a good Mama!

I am so happy, and breathing a sigh of relief, that Cora has had her puppies!! 10 of them, all chubby and healthy looking!! Leeske was such a good "nervous father" pacing the barn, staying close to her, but giving Cora the space she needed. You and Rachel did an awesome job as a first time human puppy parents. Now looking forward to these 10 little ones bouncing all over the place 😊 Thank you Lord for answered prayer! 🙏❤️🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕❤️🙏

Leeski placed himself between Kora and the goats as the first pup was coming - what a smart boy! I had an elkhound that had ten pups, we had to bottle feed to supplement poor momma's milk. As they grew, we had a basement full of pups.

It's amazing felt sorry for her crying and papa dog worrying about her.

LESke is so sweet trying to protect & help Cora & the goats wanting to give her emotional support too.A testament to the great relationship they all have.❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

Can you imagine as a human Mom having to deal with this many births at one time! God is amazing! Good job Cora! You’re a great Mom! And to Leeskie for standing guard like a good Dad would do! Your RU-vid family loves you both and your beautiful puppies! Kevin, you just have to trust Cora’s instinct with where she wanted to have the puppies. Perhaps the smaller space gives her comfort.

I love how Leski is watching over her and the puppies . He doesn’t know what’s really happening but he’s making sure she’s ok 👍🏻. So sweet. The way she went back to look at her puppy was cute 🥰….

❤I'm so glad she had her babies

Oh my gosh, I love the sound of the babies 😍🥰♥️😍🥰♥️

That went well didn’t it . Birth is a harrowing business for humans and critters. I’m so pleased for everyone that the family is fine ,and that Cora is a natural Mama.

Your goats and that dog have an amazing bond your dog wouldn't have had the pups with a goat in there if she didn't trust them ❤it's a beautiful thing to see a real LGD ! I hope people understand that amazing bond ❤❤

I came upon you by mistake. This was so much fun to watch you with the new puppies. Thank you for sharing.

Congratulations it’s all puppies!!!! 🎉🎈🎁🎂😃

I think she wants to be closer to the other animals. She feels more comfortable with them. Congratulations on the 10 puppies Kora! ❤

As for the colors of the puppies remember they are not only combo of Cora & Leeske they are also part of Cora & Leeske parents. Also their colors may change as they get older. - also remember they all must be vaccinated & weened & on food before you sell them. God Bless. Thank again for making all of us part of your family

You can also take those egg shells dry them out and then make a powder out of them and sprinkle it on her food

She knows what she’s doing. She’s in a spot she’s happy, cosy, dry - she’ll take care of the puppies!

Leeskie looking like a typical worried first time dad.❤❤❤❤😊😊😊

Kevin, please block off that wire thing so pups cant get stuck on other side n not b able to get to the lunch bar...congrants to all. 🎉❤

What’s really cute is one has a different birthday … so sweet ❤🐾

You are some beautiful people! Taking care of Gods creatures the way you do, I so wish yo could come there to help you all❤❤❤ congrats

Give treats to Kora and Leaskie, congratulations on all the puppies.

This reminds me of the birth of baby Jesus! The goats and Leeski knew something wonderful was going to happen and then Cora gave birth to 10 beautiful pups with her goat family around her!! So precious. So special!!

Congrats! I use to give my shepherd eggs, goat milk, vanilla ice cream (not too much), raw chicken legs, liver, sweet potatoes, and a couple other things I can't remember at the moment. But they help with milk production. My girl had 6 puppies but unfortunately only 3 survived (1 was still born, 1 was born with a burst hernia so the vets had to put her down, and the runt passed away in my arms 5 days after birth. I was in the ER Vet literally 5 times the 1st week trying to keep that lil baby alive.) I kept one of the puppies and momma got fixed right after she had this 1 litter. I let her have 1 litter so I could keep her bloodline with me, hopefully for generations to come!

❤ Kevin, the puppies will be fine, just leave them alone and Mom will do the rest, don't move them, she will put them where she thinks best.

I love that the other animals wanted to be with her to keep her company. You moved some of them when you arrived, but I imagine she felt not so alone with her friends there with her. Looking at the video, I think she probably moved to get closer to them.

Thank you so much for showing the birth of these beautiful puppies. My heart is overflowing with love and excitement. Cora is an amazing first-time mama. Thank you Lord Jesus for these precious, healthy puppies. Thank you again Kevin and Rachel for sharing your family and farm life with us. I pray God continues to bless you and your children and to supply your needs. I pray God strengthens you, gives you rest, patience, and diects your path for each new day and give you peace. Love and God's promised blessings, Diane from Hagerstown, Md.

just listen to that little gang of hooligans!! 🥰🥰🤣🤣 good job everyone!! 🤍🤍

I see a lot of foals born but my dog having 16 pups was the most anxious I've ever felt...what a LONG affair it was. We then had to bottle feed as there were so many. That heat lamp would be soothing her pain a bit... What temperature is it ...looks freezing (oh you said 15 degrees...) You can get heat mats which might be safer than heat lamps. I'm loving the pups...and love the silver with the socks ! Don't forget to give her calcium....she will need it with 9 pups... There is always a lighter one like there is a heavier one....usually a runt is a LOT smaller. You have to watch newborn pups because they can get fading puppy syndrome where they just start to fade away and not feed...and everntually die. Watch for the puppy which isn't eating as well and make sure that puppy is always on the teat.. With our big litter we would weigh them daily in a kitchen scales, just to see they were gaining weight (so eating well).

Our lab had 8 puppies her first time and they were all males. I remember how nerve wracking that can be. You guys did so good with Kora and then managing the other animals too. The love you have for your animals really shines through at times like this. She had a wifi feed straight into your bedroom and you buy her side at the first whimper something was up. Very endearing. You are a special family at HHF. Thank you for including us in your journey, it was so much fun. Oh and it’s not over yet, watching these pups grow is going to be a treat. Great job you guys and thanks a bunch!❤😊

She did a great job. Just respect her space at least for the first few weeks. She knows how to care for her babies. The Lord gave her everything she needs. If having the goats near makes her comfortable leave it. It didn't look like it was bothering her. As far as a runt. No worries there. My vet couldn't believe that the runt ended up much bigger than her mother. 😂 She was born without a tail. Mom didn't want anything to do with her. I took her from her bag, cleaned her, and got her breathing. I kept her, and 13 1/2yrs later I laid down next to her while she took her last. If you need a name, hers was Grace. We called her Gracie. She was a beautiful girl.

Their colors will evolve and not always a runt…it’s noticeable when you have one. I give mama chicken livers…super foods and babies get lots of milk. Then when the puppies start eating I give them chicken livers also. I save egg shells and grind them up in the puppy gruel. Congratulations on a beautiful healthy litter. Cora did great and has so much support. 🎉

I don't get to watch your videos often.bad net..but today I saw Kora as a puppy. Then a full grown dog..and now a proud moma..crazy. wonderful..got your hands full now

Thank goodness she had the puppies. I hope she didn’t have any major/minor issues with the birth. Congrats to you all, to Leake and of course to kora for her hard work. Mojo is now an uncle and sherif skeeter has more work to do. 😂😂

You can move them in there once she is settled. One of the biggest dangers is a puppy getting chilled, they can’t regulate their body heat for the first 10 days.A heating pat on low would be a good idea, they will move away from it if they get to warm. if they are piled up it means they are cold, when they spread out it means they are warm😊 I would love to have one🥰

Oh my , one nanny goat and kid is in with her for support I guess 😮 that’s funny cause daddy wants to help too 😊☺️ Aww I thought I counted 11 but your there ☺️😁 Yes she will move them when she wants too hopefully she won’t move them out of your reach ❤😂❤❤what a blessing 10 puppies 🥰💝💘 I have had 2 dogs with large litters first was a collie she had 16 puppies her first litter and 14 lived one we didn’t know it was in bushes and another was stuck so she have to have emergency c section and we lost that one also , so 14 out of 16 puppies oh my , we had to bottle feed 1/2 at a time to help her oh it was a job for those puppies 😮😢❤❤❤

I love you it's so obvious you have a personal connection with all your animals, and the lovely way you talk to them. Thanks for brightening my day 💖

Congratulations Cora and Leeske and family. Cora will be happy to allow you to hold and pet her puppies. She trusts you, and the more you pet them and hold them later on the better they will be for their next family even if they are farm dogs they still need to be good with people, a lot of farms have children and need to have trustworthy pets, especially when they are so large. Good luck to you all!

The suspense is been killing me. Waiting to see how Kora did and how many puppies she had. Waiting

Congratulations Cora and Leeske! So happy that the babies are doing so good ❤

Cora and Leeskee, Congratulations, 10 beautiful puppies. Cora is a wonderful Mom. Leeskee is a great Dad. Protecting Cora and their puppies. Thank you Rachel and Kevin for shaaring Leeskee and Cora's 10 little miracles with. Blessings and love to you all. ❤️🐕

CONGRATULATIONS to y'all Cora and Leeske. So glad everything went good for Cora and the puppies. Leeske acted like he wanted to comfort Cora the way he was hanging around her. GOD bless y'all.

Awww,look at leiskey being so concerned,,so sweet🐾🐾💙💜🐾🐾

It’s funny. You look like you have a stalker following you. Every once in a while you see his head pop up over your shoulder. So happy for Kora and the puppies. Love watching you and your family.

What a good boy watching and worrying about his girl and his pups!! Hims very good!!

My concern is for Miss Kora…

Congratulations Kora and Leeski! Kevin I think Leeski deserves a treat for being such a great partner and first time daddy. Kora is an awesome mom. She did amazing for the first time. ❤🙏🏽

Great job mama! 10 beautiful pups! Those colors!!! I wish we had smellivision...PUPPY BREATH ❤ Leeske is a doting daddy. I noticed her 2nd pup was bigger than her first. Runt can be born in no particular order. Congrats everyone ❤🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕❤🐕🐕🎉🎉🥰

If you put her on puppy chow she will get everything she needs. Congratulations

Finally the video we all have been waiting for-The Puppies. I hope all went well and Kora and the pups are doing well. How are you and the family coping? I bet the kids are excited seeing them. I cannot wait until 5 pm comes to see how well all the animals are adjusting to Kora's babies too in the coming days. Congrats to Kevin & Rachel. She did it and will be a good Mama. I bet she had 8-10 puppies. How's Leeske doing as a new dad? Has Kora let him see his babies yet?

I keep searching but realize you have your hands full plus editing. Please hurry. Thanks guys Kora & Leiski

Glad Kora did so well. That is a lot of puppies even if she is a big dog.

Kengals… best dogs ever. Highly intelligent & protective

I found runts to be a rare during my 30 yrs of breeding. No runts is a sign mom had good nutrition and plenty of room in her womb. Block off that opening so there isn't a draft on those pups. Don't mess with them because that may cause a new mom to walk away. In the colder temps keep watch the pups are staying warm and raise the ambient temp with a heat lamp but remember, puppies aren't like chicks. They can't move away if too warm so simply keep the ambient temp raised as needed with blankets, boards or what ever you have to help the lamp keep some heat in there but don't put the lamp directly on them. Mom needs a lot more calories and a lot more water and have it so it cannot be spilled and she has access to both at all times. When those pups reach 4 weeks you can start introducing soft food. Don't wean before 8 weeks. These large breeds are genetically engineered to grow fast and they not only need mom's milk so they have great bone growth, they also need the socialization they get from each other and mom teaching them what is rude and acceptable behavior. Always tempting to wean when the pups eat good but in the wild they'd stay on mom at least 12 weeks. The longer you are able to go to keeping the litter together, towards 12 weeks old, even if weaned by then, the better the pups will do socially and psychologically through out their lives. I never sold puppies before 12 weeks. And I only sold to people who could give me references and would sign a contract to give me back (no refund) the dog if it didn't work out for them. I only ever had two come back but I took those dogs back without delay or question (both times were health issues for the owners). It kept those dogs out of the rescue system. That's what responsible breeders do. When they go to the vets for vaccines, keep litter and mom together in the vehicle and the vet's office. Dogs really don't step on their pups much. They are really quite careful. Get the parvo shots done as soon as vet says they are old enough. That is the most important one to do because puppies have no internal fat to draw on if they get parvo so they die. Adult dogs can survive parvo because they have internal fat around their organs to help them survive the starvation phase of the disease. Most of all, have fun watching them grow and change as they do.

She was happy in the box with the goats who were comforting her and keeping her safe and warm. When the goats were removed she no longer felt safe and moved to a different spot….. You guys did the best you could considering the circumstances. So happy for her and you guys and the Father (can’t spell his name 😂). Love how thoughtful you try to be toward her and all of your animals! You guys are great parents. 😇🙏🙏🙏

A great surprise to find Kora having babies❣️ Never a dull moment on the farm.

Not always a runt, I’ve had probably 5 -7 over 15 years breeding. Glad they are all healthy. 😊❤❤

Awe I loved how daddy was right there with her the whole time trying to help her out that was the cutest thing ever. And Coria did so good it is so cute. Good job Coria you are such a good momma. Thank you for letting me be part of it.

TEN? TEN BABIES?!!!! WOW!!! And Miss Kora is showing herself to be a GREAT mama! Knew she would be, esp. after watching her help take care of those baby kid goats!! She's amazing, as is Mr. Leeske, who is showing himself to be a good protective daddy.....so congratulations to all, and to Uncle MOJO, of course!!!! What a wonderful farm family you folks are!!! Thank You for allowing all these glimpses into your private farm life!!! And THANK YOU for being such wonderful loving grand-pup-parents to these precious new baby souls!!!!

Gods Miracles. You have a wonderful place. 🙏🙏🌺🌺🌺❤️❤️❤️🌺🌺🙏🙏🙏

1st time ever seeing your channel! Lucky for you,your wife, Cora, Whiskey ,oh NOT WHISKEY ! HAHA it's LEESKE(?) and TEN PUPPERS! Your video landed on my Recommended Watch thread!!!! Hope this $50 provides some HEAT !!! Wow.. .what an amazing event to see the Papa so diligently standing by and awesome seeing the Goats in pre-birth support group mode!!!!!!! Blessings to you all!! ❤✌❤👩‍🎤

You’re Welcome... Thanks for having us along on Cora’s Journey- was Great!!! What Beautiful Pups-All 10 of them, lol... What a surprise!!! Leesky must be a Proud Papa!!! Can’t Wait for their firsts-playing, zoomes, etc... Ever notice how first growls sound like a can-opener??? Heheee!!! SO Happy For All Of You!!! God Bless, 😇 🙏🏻

My vet recommended we feed our mama wet puppy food while nursing (in addition to whatever dry). Helps with their milk production and keeps them in good body condition. Congratulations, they’re beautiful 🥰👏👍

Wohoo 🙌🏼 I was right 😂 I said 10. They’re very vocal 😂 Well done Cora 🎉 🐶 💖 Sending you belly rubs from Scotland good girl 💖😊

The goats were probably giving her comfort and warmth.

You have to make this video perfect for us. Just raw footage of what you ended up with will be fine. From personal experience a first time momma and dog owner will be a bit harried trying to figure out what needs to be done and what doesn't need to be done. I look forward to seeing a bunch of healthy puppies and a dutiful momma.

I loved watching how attentive and respectful Leeski was with Kora. Such endearing love between the two was so cool to see. ❤

Most breeders PUT LITTLE RIBBONS around puppies to identify them and weigh each puppy DAILEY to ensure they are all gaining weight. There may be a few smaller that may need to be bottled fed. Since there are so many. Helping momma to feed them. Otherwise if left to nature you may lose 3 or 4. If you do need to bottle feed the runt, a regular old fashion human bottle nipper works perfect.

Really cute and healthy looking puppies! I was very touched with how the black dog was trying to get those goats away from her while she was in labor, very smart dog he even put himself between those black goats and the box. Please don’t move the puppies anymore but try to block them in that area she could hurt the puppies trying to move them. She won’t stay in the box because she does not feel safe in the box she feels trapped in there with the goats and other dogs she’s very upset. I hope you keep the other animals out of her space. I think it’s important to handle the pups check them daily to make sure one is not losing weight the smaller ones sometimes can’t fight the bigger ones for meals if you see this you might have to make sure the runt gets to nurse. She needs to extra meals now she is nursing it’s taking a lot out of her body she should get three small meals a day for now being a large breed she could get bloat so feeding at least 2 x a day. Organ meat is good for her as an add on to her meals we used to cook chicken livers, hearts and add to kibble and the eggs are good. Remember she is just like a human with a new baby you want quiet peaceful environment.
