Daisy & Weylin's new litter has arrived......

The first pup born with a red ribbon and is a clone of Weylin (left bright spot) is being presented to the waiting adults on the other side of the nursery half door. Grandpa Basil is in the back, next row is Dove, Holly & Sunny.....next is Bee & Weylin, next is Cherry and Charlie and front row is Garnet's eyeball! Daisy exhausted.

Girls have white/pink/purple ribbons.


They weighted from 6oz to 8oz....all perfectly healthy and very active.

It was a very long process whelping this litter. The first one, a lovely cream boy the image of his Pop Weylin, came at 6:50pm last night. By 10:25 we thought we were through. We had four boys and two girls. Daisy settled down and began to nurse/clean her new babies. This morning at 4:30 she was panting hard, so I turned off the heating pad thinking she was too hot. And again counted the puppies to be sure none were under her. Seven. I shut off the light and settled back down flashlight in hand. Brain dull.....but suddenly alive......seven? There were only six!!! I turned the light back on to find a wet little girl, no ribbon crying out for help. I dried her off, wrapped her in the little warming blanket and we cuddled for the next two hours giving Daisy time to rest. This morning all are healthy and active and very beautiful. It looks like we have some red/buffs in this litter....and are very surprised there are no chocolates. One beautiful solid black girl is the only color other than shades of buff. The formal individual photos will be taken and posted on the Newborn page of the web site....hopefully by this afternoon. Wait list will be shown these photos so they can make their choices. In the meantime, I've taken the above photos so you can see what Daisy is proudly presenting. When the Newborn page is complete, I'll post the link here so you can see for yourself what a lovely group of puppies this is. While I am working on the photos, Philip is watching over the new litter making sure everyone gets all they can eat and keeps warm so Daisy can take a well deserved nap. She's eaten four eggs, cottage cheese, my breakfast and some kibble. She will be getting her T-Bone celebration dinner at noon. Life is good at SBG!
If you're on the wait list and see a puppy from the above snaps and have decided, let me know. There's not a clinker in the bunch, as my Dad used to say about the five of us kids!

Congratulations Daisy!
So glad the birthing is over and all are healthy and happy. I like the way your fellow SBG members wait outside the room to give you their support until they see it is over. Helps to have friends like that! You have a beautiful family!
Love you,
Janice
