CherAmi is in the early stages of her heat cycle. We will post more news here as soon as we breed her to Hershel. The breeding should take place somewhere between Oct. 12 (at the earliest) through Oct. 16... won't be long now!

Esther only had 1 puppy, born Saturday...a beautiful red girl! We know that is disappointing to several on the waiting list...we are disappointed too that we don't have more than that. Mom and daughter are doing great!

Esther IS pregnant. The BAD news is....it looks like only one or two puppies are in there!! Ultrasounds are not a tool used for "counting" pups ( Xrays are), they are used for simply confirming pregnancy. Xrays cannot be used to actually count puppies until day 51-53 (vets will vary), because the babies' bones do not calcify until that stage of gestation. There may be a pup hiding in the rib cage, but since this one visible pup is so huge, it's possible that this is the only one!
