Finally here! Seven pups!

2 Dark Red (1M, 1F)
3 Red/Apricot (3F)
2 Chocolate (1M, 1F)

More photos tomorrow, I'm bushed. I had terrible light about midnight, but these photos show the color fairly accurately. More photos in natural light tomorrow. Mama and babies are resting peacefully under the heat lamp.

This morning starts day 65. She's off food, laying in her spot, and acting strangely. Hoping today is it. Getting a bit worried and antsy.

Looks like more than 4 to me - what about you? This is a still shot from our security cam and it's post-shavedown so it's not the most gorgeous pic...

No pups overnight but we are watching closely. Today is day 61 of 63 (+/- a few) so it could be anytime. She delivered her first litter 3 days early at day 60.

Thank you everyone for your interest – At this time the deposit list is full and we are no longer accepting deposits. If there are any changes in availability, I will publish them as soon as possible.

Poor mama went to the groomer today for her pre-birth shave-down. She looks pretty funny right now and is "all belly". If she could speak English, I am sure she'd bemoan all my pregnancy comments and probably secretly snarks at me when I'm away from the house. But I bet she appreciates relief from the heat of carrying a full fleece coat in this Indian summer.

I've set up blog pages for all the pending pups and will auto-feed them out to Facebook when the time comes. Check out our facebook page to get updates in your feed!

We have some live feed cameras around the house that we use to keep tabs on the dogs when we have to step out for a while. Papa dog is seen here literally "chillin" on the floor - dog bed must be too warm for him today!

For those who have reserved puppies, we will issue unique passwords to our live feed cameras at some point after the puppies are born.

Pet insurance is the hot new item on the market. After researching several companies, we decided to partner with Trupanion to offer a free 30-day trial certificate. The videos below really illustrate the upside of having pet insurance and also the benefits of Trupanion as compared to other popular market options.

That common phrase "in dog years" is often translated to mean 1 dog year is the same as 7 human years! It seems it's not quite so - with accelerated aging happening in the first two years of life. Find the whole article at this link. Photo copyright Dogster.
