The Orlando beauties















The Orlando puppies are now three weeks
old and ready to start on cereal. The three
pups on the left of the photo are Irish marked
with a boa around the neck. The big black
girl on the right has a beautiful head even
though she doesn't have her siblings flashy
white markings.

Amber's Fab Four

























Pictured are the four puppies in Rockville out of CH Blue
Run's She's a Caution (Amber) and CH Kimlyn's Olympic
Mogul (Skee) born on December 14th, 2014. There are
three boys and one girl. All are currently being tube fed as
after the c-section, Amber never brought in any milk. They
are thriving and fat as butter balls.

Amber and Yaya delivered

Amber had four lovely puppies, also requiring emergency
c-section on Sunday night. Thank goodness for wonderful
repo vet Dr. Dove who delivered all four babies without
incident. One puppy was an astounding 18.25 ounces. Ouch!
I don't think Amber could have gotten this big boy out on
her own.
Yesterday, beautiful Yaya produced 6 pretty pups all on her
own. She was helping nurse Amber's brood because Amber
has no milk and Yaya has been leaking milk for weeks. While
visiting, Yaya started to deliver her puppies and three of us
sat on the floor for 9 hours while she brought her two girls
and four boys into the world. Her last litter was born in the
back seat of my van so she is being consistent, fooling us
each time.
So the final count is 5 girls and nine boys with the Orlando
family keeping a boy and me looking very covetous of the
one curly boy who looks like my next show puppy. I hope
never to have 3 litters again in such proximity as it exhausted
me and my wonderful helpers. We always say "it takes a village"
and we really saw the truth of that this week.

Isa's puppies are here

Isa has 4 stunning babies, two boys and two girls. Three
of the four have Irish markings and one is all black. Isa
had to have a C-section and we are still waiting for her
milk to come in. Meanwhile, the babies are gaining well
on bottle feedings around the clock by Isa's co-owners
Ruth Ann and Stephen. It is times like this that we remind
ourselves that breeding is not for the faint of heart.
