The pups of the Presidents' Day Litter are 7




Myrna, the mom
Two weeks before the whelping Myrna was jumping over 40 inch gates, because she was the boss and needed to be over there.  This has not changed in 9 years.  This was the litter that came with a large surprise: 16 pups, of which 14 were viable.  We were expecting about 12, but when the pups went into distress after the first was whelped an emergency c-section resulted in 15 more.  The clinic was busy with everybody (and I do mean everybody) resuscitating puppies for hours.


Cuilke is still with us, but we do not have a recent picture.
