Pearl is due again today. ;D Same sire, the only reason we are letting her have this final litter is we want to keep one of her babies. We saw more of her pups at Christmas and we were hugely impressed. They are fantastic dogs, big and solid and with awesome natures. Macca, How are Pearl and the puppies?

Well, some pretty devastating news on that front I'm afraid. Pearl had 15 puppies again!!! 3 born dead, the rest looked awesome. On day 3 we woke up to find 4 dead, 5 more very sick, and Pearl not looking happy at all. To cut a long and sad story short, after vet trips etc, we lost all bar one puppy over the space of 24 hours, Pearl got sick and lost her milk and we have had to hand rear snoopdog. According to the vet's best guess, Pearl had been carrying a virus of some description during her pregnancy, and it was passed to the pups. An incubation period of 3 days, then the pups got sick, very fast. Snoopdog, the surviving pup is fantastic, a really cool dog, and looking for a caring and loving home. He was hand reared from day 3, although still lived with his mum. Missy and the girls were devastated, so heartbreaking for them.

That's really devastating news. How are they doing now? I like the name Snoopdog. Don't you want to keep him? Would you rather have a female? The pic of Pearl with her serious face is very cute. I guess she is very nice dog.

We wanted to keep a bitch unfortunately, and yeah, Pearl is a real nice dog.
