I am proud to announce the birth of 6 beautiful babies, 3 girls and 3 boys!  These photos show 5 puppies, because we thought we were done when I did the photo session.  Zelda surprised us with a 6th an hour after the other pups were born.  Hopefully I will not have to update this with yet another addition!!  We will see.

Birth order with weights is as follows:

Girl –  Dark with white Blaze – 9.75 oz
Boy- Dark solid – 4.625 oz  —- TINY!!
Boy – Dark Solid – 7.125 oz
Boy – Dark with white Blaze – 8.75 oz
Girl – Dark Solid – 10.75 oz
Girl – Dark Solid- 11.625 oz

We will not know if any of the pups are blues until much later, around 8-12 weeks.  When faces are shaved at that time, I should see some highlights on any blue pups.  Maybe some blue around the ears.

All Six Puppies!!

The little boy is nursing, but I will be picking up some formula just in case.  He seems very eager to do well, so I have high hopes!

Our first bath! Mom is thorough!

Price for a pet is $1500.00.  If you are interested in this litter, please contact me soon.  I have three homes waiting for this litter as of today.  These pups should be suitable as performance dogs, therapy dogs, and wonderful pets.  The parents are very stable dogs with outstanding temperaments.  They will probably be small to mid size as adults (20-25 inches at the shoulders).
