Raising another litter....of 11!!

Yes, I did say 11! Momma had an easy time and all went well--signs of labor started on May 1st, but she was due on May 6th and we managed to keep them all in there until the 5th--all were large, vigorous and active pups! 6 girls, 5 boys...8 blacks, two chocolates and one apricot!

Momma Gliss was very tired by the end of the four hours of whelping, but after a nap she was up and trotting around the yard--she is an athletic active girl who has been a terrific momma! She has finally found a job that is up to her level of energy! All 11 pups are always spotless and well fed. She stays by them all day and dotes on them....and eats like a horse--12 cups of food a day!

Lots of pictures coming--and yes, they are all sold! I co-own Gliss (this means that I raise the litters and share in the sales) and she lives in a wonderful guardian home. They live close by and plan to visit quite a bit--they are so excited to meet her babies!

At two weeks old, they are already filling up the whelping box--I am going to put a pen in the room instead of the box with baby bumpers all around to give them some room! Here they are at a few days old.

and group shots and a few portraits at two weeks old. Eyes are open now and they are starting to wrestle!

Comment by Linda, Charlie Brown and Beau on May 26, 2015 at 5:42pm: Oh so cute - all 11 of them!

Comment by Bonnie and Kona on May 26, 2015 at 1:31pm: Thank you so much for sharing these puppies with us! It's so much fun to see what you are up to and to see those little darlings.

Comment by Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie on May 25, 2015 at 9:22pm: Congrats to Gliss. What beauties. I will eagerly follow your puppy blogs.

Comment by Ginny Nightingale on May 25, 2015 at 8:09am: Yes, they are standard size and dad is an F2 black male with a gorgeous loose curled coat--the pups are as soft as silk so I think his coat dominated--momma has a glossy coat that is wavy, but coarse and she is a shedder (F1).

Three are curlier with more of a poodle look about the head. If you want to PM me, Deann, I can send you to the website to see the parents--all are sold, but we will have more litters with Gliss in a year...
