Puppies born October 9 2025 after Cazan and Nova

Ingrid-Helene with Aviâja

We are high on oxytocin sniffing newborn puppies!

Nova was mated by Cazan on August 3, 4 and 5. Estimated due date 63 days after the first mating was October 5. 

But Nova was in no hurry to become a mom again! Finally, on October 9th she was ready to give birth! 

It’s been three years since we last had puppies—and I had completely forgotten how utterly exhausting and nerve-wracking it is to be on midwife duty for so many days—waiting impatiently and longing for the big moment to happen!

I was wishing for lots of boys in this litter, and after the first four arrived—all boys—I thought that was it! But then, the last one made her entrance—a beautiful little girl-with colors just like her mom-fullfilling my wish!

Here they are - half a day old - in the order they were born:

Snykovet’s Sulis 🩵 Ink black and white - just like his half-brother Nome, 490 g. The name Sulis is an abbreviation for Sulitjelma (Northern Norwegian place name). Born at 15:15.

Snykovet’s Nuka 🩵 Dark like his father, 510 g. The name Nuka is Greenlandic for «little brother”. Born at 16:30.

Snykovet’s Siku 🩵 Cream white just like his half-sisters Tulita and Mirabel, 515 g. The name Siku is Greenlandic for «sea ice». Born at 16:50.

Snykovet’s Nure 🩵 Dark like his father with a small white heart on his neck, 475 g. The name Nure means «light» or «something that shines.» Born at 18:20.

Snykovet’s Aviâja 🩷 Takes after her mother Nova in looks, 490 g. The name Aviâja means ‘cousin’ and reflects characteristics like expressiveness and positivity, also signifying kinship and optimism. Born at 19:00.
