Taking a well earned break with big sister Pixie.
Isla was successfully mated to Tux for the first time on 17/07/2013. This makes the puppies due anytime from 18.09.2013. Tie two took place on 20/07/2013 and a final (we think!) tie on 21/07/2013
Pregnancy confirmed - litter due 21st September.
Pregnancy confirmed - litter due 21st September.
Isla at 7 weeks.
Isla has a lovely rounded belly and we have high hopes for a lovely sized healthy litter.
The whelping pen is placed at the heart of our home at 7 1/2 weeks.
This means all our puppies grow up being used to household noises and a variety of visitors. It also means they are never out of sight.

Isla slowed down a lot in the latter stages - we now know why after delivering 9 puppies!
Whelping takes its toll on all the family!!
