******Well, we can't take ALL of the credit for this gorgeous litter. . .actually, it was ALL Star's and ZZ's idea! :) We would have opted to wait until this fall, but such is life with wiley little bRatties!******* In the wee morning hours of --, our gave birth to outstanding puppies by our - delightful girls and handsome boy! ********Sadly though, we lost * of the precious *s the same night due to an umbilical cord injury at birth, but nonetheless, we are VERY thankful to have these robust and thriving puppies to love!******* *******We have a particularly wee babe, "", who weighed in at only . oz. upon birth. But *'s every bit as strong and healthy as the rest of 'em (just at about half the size - so cute!).******

* delivered all of their babies with her usual expertise, and she is taking great care of them. Each and every one of the puppies are beautiful, healthy (getting chubby!), active, and strong. They carry color genetics for and most likely and ('s sire is a ). It looks like the s' estimated finishing size is going to be more in the smaller " range ( might be a tad larger, though), and they should all have absolutely ideal conformation with particularly muscular builds and super-sturdy boning, wedgey heads, and very strong standing ears most likely. Tails docked, dewclaws removed on --, 1st shots and wormings done here to 8 weeks of age. These puppies should be "ready to go" on -- (for pick-up or partial-delivery) or -- (for shipping).

This is a repeat breeding that we are extremely excited about. China and Dapper produced their first (and only other) litter together 4 years ago. Each of the 5 puppies born in the litter finished simply amazing! You may view photos of some of these puppies on our Puppy Gallery albums. Their names are Spencer and Bella. This is the very last litter that China and Dapper will produce together. China will be retired to much-beloved-pet status once the litter is raised. We plan to keep both of the special little girls in this litter for ourselves to carry on in their parents' pawprints!

**********I just HAVE TO add that these are going to be some VERY intelligent and people-oriented puppies! From as young an age as only 2 and 1/2 weeks, they have shown signs of being extremely outgoing, friendly and delightfully affectionate, like their momma! At this very early age, they already started getting up on their feet and wobbling to the doorway of their den (WITH THEIR TAILS WAGGING!) every time they heard my voice. They come clamouring up to be petted, played with and held. . .and they give endless KISSES!**********

***********At 6 weeks of age, these puppies are downright EXCEEDING all of my expectations. I always thought this breeding would yield some phenomenal puppies, and I can't help but boast. . .how right I was! :) These puppies have really inherited the BEST of both of their parents. They are highly affectionate and friendly with everyone they meet. . .delightfully spunky. . .and just as absolutely GORGEOUS as your heart can take. They will make terrific companions for ANY lucky home, and they simply are outstanding representatives of the breed!*************
