It is probably caused by eating the placentas after each puppy. There are a variety of views on that, but it's a whole different question... as long as her stool returns to normal tomorrow it is nothing to worry about.

Each pup will have half of its genetic material from each parent and it's the combination of genes that decides the coat colour. A dog with a yellow coat might have a gene for a black coat for example, it's just that it's not part of that dog's phenotype (the dog isn't black) because of the action of another gene. It's possible to have all 3 coat colours in a litter. My yellow lab had pups with a black lab and the pups were all black with the exception of one chocolate pup. Wikipedia currently has a very good article on this, go look it up- I can't copy and paste at the moment. What colour was the male labrador? It's also possible that the ***** had pups by more than one male, if she wasn't kept in.

This is very normal. It is from the left over blood from the birth. My dogs have had puppies and this usually happens. Just watch it and make sure it clears up.

You should call the vet & let him know - some breeds (Doberman Pinschers & Scottish Terriers in particular) are prone to a bleeding disorder called Von Willebrands (a type of hemophila) that will often show it's first signs after having pups. They can bleed to death then. It may just be normal for your dog, but call & ask the vet's opinion to be safe.

It's all just a matter of personal preference. I actually have short hair and guys such as it. And i prefer a man with short hair over a man with long hair because long hair tends to make guys look as well girly.

Yes it's normal if you let her eat the placenta. It'll clear up in a day or 2.

It is quite common if they ate placentas!!!! They are full of blood, so there will be blood in the stool!!!!!!!!!!

This means blood in the stool
Call and ask your vet.
