10 puppies!

3 yellow females, 2 black females, 2 yellow males, and 3 black males

Whelping room ready to go!

Isn't it obvious that I am panting in prep for delivery?

Puppies in the warming bed, 8 down, 2 to go!

10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, I can vouch for that! Believe me there are REALLY 10 here!

Let's line up so everyone believes that there are REALLY 10 of us!

My turn, no me, no me, no me!

Let's try some video clips. Click on the links below to hear and see the puppies nursing on Day 5:

You will need a decoder ring to keep this litter straight!

RED- black male

ORANGE- Black female

YELLOW-Yellow female

GREEN-Black male

BLUE-Yellow male

MAROON-Black male

LIGHT BLUE (used to be multi but changed his color)-Yellow male

PINK-Yellow Female

PURPLE-Yellow Female

SPARKLE-Black Female

I think what I will do for the rest of the page is show the pups by color and sex, for instance you will see a picture of a black puppy and it will say Red-male. Let's start out with that approach and see how that works.

Yellows sure do photograph easier than the blacks do!

3 Weeks!!!

Time flies! The puppies have had a big week. They were wormed at 2 1/2 weeks old, began eating gruel, started growling, barking, and mouthing things. Their eyes are fully open, they are walking, and teething!!!! Dottie has begun to feed them while she is standing up, likely to avoid those claws or maybe just all those hot bodies on her. Enjoy!

Aren't these the cutest things you've ever seen?

4 Weeks!!!

Let's see, what did they do this week? Well, they are out of the whelping box and in the larger area in the kennel with access to the outside puppy run via a doggie door. They are doing a great job going to the bathroom outside when we have the doggie door propped open! They also were introduced to a crate. They are soooooo cute!!! But don't take it from me, you decide for yourself!

"Ahhhhhum, yes, I am handsome," says Red boy.

WE LOVE CRATES!!!!!!!!!

Anyone who says crates are inhumane and dogs don't like them need to look at this picture. It doesn't look to me like any of these puppies are under stress!
