Puppy Update -- Day 23

The puppies are growing fast.  Their eyes are open and they are starting to eat some "puppy gruel" on their own.  Here are a few pictures taken yesterday.

Happy and her brood 15 days

Here is a picture of Happy and some of her brood that I took today.  They have reached 15 days and are growing fast.  Happy wasn't sure what all the fuss was about and is looking at me with a "Why are you taking my picture?" look.

Puppy update

Day 10 --- the puppies are growing fast.  All of them have gained weight and getting to that chubby puppy stage.  Happy continues to be a great mom -- making sure the babies are fed and kept clean.  It looks like I will have one or two of the girls available to a pet (or maybe show) home.  Feel free to contact me at cardiclarke@suddenlink.net with any questions that you might have.

The puppy pile.  A lot of flashy markings on all the pups

This is the two tri boys

The four girls.  All brindle.

The babies are here

Happy finally delivered her babies.  She had four brindle girls and two black and white boys.  All puppies are nicely marked.  Happy is a first rate mom.  She free whelped all the babies in six hours. She is very attentive -- making sure the babies are always cleaned and fed.

Puppy update

I took Happy to the vet yesterday for a puppy count x-ray.  We are seeing 7 puppies. How many do you count?

Here is a picture of Happy that I took last week.  She has "grown" considerably since then.  She is not happy with me taking a picture of her in this delicate her position.She is sticking out her tongue at me!

Her first due date is November 14th -- but, I am thinking she may go later in the week.  Happy tends to do things her own way -- so, who knows?

Happy puppies ....

We are excited to announce that Happy (Giants Dance I am Happy) has been bred to Keats (Beguile's Suit Up) for a mid-November litter.  See link to pedigree below:

Happy's sire Dickens and Keat's sire Trademark are two of the most influential sires of the Cardigan breed.  We are hoping for a very nice litter.

Both parents are OFA Good hips and DM clear.

If you are interested in a puppy from this litter please contact Mark at cardiclarke@suddenlink.net.

I took Gloria for an x-ray last week.  Unfortunately no puppies!  This is disappointing --- but, will try again next time she comes into season.
