The Birds 'n Bees!
Born 04/15/2020 6 Boys and 3 Girls We've nicknamed all of these puppies with the name of a bird or a bee and will ask their new owners to include the name of a bird or a bee in their AKC registered name.

Newborn
The Littles & Bigs!
Maybe we should have named this litter "The Littles & Bigs"! Five puppies were born weighing over 1 pound; four puppies weighed only 7-8 ounces at birth.

Nursing Newborns
Puppies nurse every two hours round the clock in 3 groups: the little puppies, 3 big puppies, and 2 big puppies. Nursing all 3 groups takes two hours, and then we start over.

Mama on Duty
Rainey is being an exceptional mother and never leaves the whelping box except to eat or go outside. She keeps a close eye on her babies day and night.

Meet the Puppies!
The Birds 'n Bees are all gaining weight and doing well so far but we know the first two weeks are critical, especially for the little puppies. If we can get them through the first few weeks, the little ones will catch up to the big ones when they transition to puppy food at about 4 weeks of age. This is a beautiful litter... all of the puppies have very pretty markings.
