Surprise Blue Pitbull Litter?

Angel was beginning her heat when Allen and I went on vacation in early May. So she was due to go back into heat right about last week. But we think Polu may have left one last gift. Angel's belly is looking fat. She hasn't been around any males in a while. Ho'o and Li'i have just finished their heat, so Koni's been cabled up in his kennels for weeks. Also, tonight, we just noticed milk dripping from Angel. This usually means that she will give birth in about a week.

Surprising? Heck yeah! That means she went into heat about 2 months early. That's never happened before. We weren't even looking out for it because it wasn't time. We didn't bother to separate her from Polu. They always cruise together, but usually in the beginning of heat, we'll notice Angel growling at him every so often. That's part of what tips us that she's starting. That didn't happen this time either. Plus Angel is a very, very clean dog. Even if you're looking for a sign that she's in heat, you rarely see any blood. If she is indeed expecting a litter (and we've never seen milk except before a litter), it will be one, unexpected, final chance to get a puppy from an established, quality breeding pair, Angel and Polu.

As you've seen on this site, they've produced great looking pups such as:

Elekoni
Squirt
Storm
Shasta
Nenny
Amaya
Kaulike
and Roxy just to name a few.

So if Angel is having a litter, we'll definitely let you know. We're guessing it'll be in about a week. We'll be keeping a close eye on her as we can usually tell about a day or two before she's ready to have her pups. If our guess of about a week is right, pups will be ready right around the second week to mid-Jan. Here's a picture we just took of her tonight.
