Meri delivered 4 beautiful puppies on Thursday. Striker is the sire…a very handsome boy indeed.
Here are pix of Mom and Dad.
This is Meri. Our pretty girl is a Grand Champion. She turned 2 last August and this is litter. That’s me on lead.
And here are the puppies.
And this is Striker. Isn’t he handsome. Striker is a bronze Grand Champion….all owner handled by my friend Karen Warnacke.
We have two boys and two girls. They are almost all white with pretty sable markings around their heads.
Mother and babies are doing well! But Meri did have a difficult time with this delivery so she had to have a c-section. I made the decision to have her spayed because, while she didn’t need a c-section for her first litter, it was a very prolonged labor. I didn’t want to put her thru that again.
All puppies are spoken for.
It has been over two weeks. A few things took precedence…including a 3 day stay in the hospital for me!! I am fine and happy to be on the bright side of this earth. And I am so thankful for my family for taking such good care of the babies!!
Here are a couple videos for starters. The first one is one of their first meals of kibble mush.
And this one is the puppies playing with Fozzie Bear, my 3 month old. He is sooooooo happy to have friends who will actually romp with him!
And now for a Puppy Culture session with Chewy.com packaging!
Here they are lined up at the “milk bar”.!
And now they sleep.
So we are calling them the Country Legends litter because, in between these pups’ arrivals last Friday night, I watched the PBS special on the history of Country Music. Great show, by the way.
So on the top right photo we have Hank (Williams) at 2 o’clock. At 3 o’clock we have Patsy (Cline). At 7 o’clock we have Tammy (Wynette). At 9 o’clock we have Johnny (Cash) and at 11 o’clock we have Jimmie (Rogers).
Just wanted you to see how their little noses, at 1 week, are already darkening!
Tango whelped 5 beautiful puppies last night. We have 2 girls and 3 boys. My boy Tiger, now loved and owned by my friend Pat Crane, is the sire. All are doing well and, as you can see, Tango is a very proud Mama!!
The cream (6 o’clock) and the red sable (1 o’clock) are the girls. The three sable/white pups are boys.
This is Tiger the day he got his Championship with his handler, Darius McPhall. He comes from a long line of champions on both his sire’s and his dam’s sides.
This is Tango with her handler, Christy Collins, the day she won her championship. Tango went on to win her Grand Championship just 6 weeks later!
