Hello All!
Okay, I 'fess up I've been holding back on you all!
My Tri-colour girl Cherry was mated recently to a Ruby lad, I have long wanted a wholcolour and am on some lists but most breeders keep the best girls back for themselves and rightfully so! So I used a Ruby who carries a lot of Blenheim in his background and is similarly bred to Cherry! She conceived and had a easy pregnancy, nothing fazes her anyway!!
On the 1st October, and with almost a week left to go I was called to school to pick up Josie who was poorly, I was gone all of 15 minutes, so you can imagine my shock when I walked in and Cherry was delivering a puppy!! My very first Black and Tan!! 20 Minutes later we got a Ruby and a further 2 hours later another Black and Tan! Although quite early they all were fine and were very big weights, the first pup was 7 Ounces, the Ruby was 10 (that is BIG!) and the 2nd B/T was 9 Ounces!! All 3 are boys!! (Darn, I wanted girls, back to the drawing board on that part!)
They are all doing extremely well, I have never had a litter gain weight so easily whilst appearing to barely feed at all!
A few pics for you, This is Cherry with the boys at 3 days old
First born B/T "Barnaby" just a couple of hours old here
Ruby lad, "Roly" also just a couple of hours old here
Second B/T boy "Buster" again just a couple of hours old here!
