It is with great pleasure and excitement that we announce our very first litter! Yesterday, our Miss Sophi (Can Ch. MillerTime's Sophisticate Style) (Sire Am&Can Ch Sirius Park Worth the Trip; dam MillerTime's Current Style) proudly presented us with 9 beautiful black and tan puppies! The puppies were sired by Am/Can/UKC/INT Ch Mustwyn's Bad Company Am/Can CD, TC, CGC, HIC, TDI, NA, NJ, CL2-R, CL2-S, CL3-F, CL3-H, UKC-UG1 (Ch. T-Ho's For Whom The Bell Toll's sire; Barque's be Still my heart v T-Ho TC dam). Mother and puppies are doing beautifully - Sophi is doing a fantastic job as a first time Mom! Labor started about 8:00 pm on Friday and the last puppy was born Saturday morning at 4:30 am. Boy, are we exhausted but thrilled beyond words! No words can express the rush of going from 6 to 15 dogs in a blink of an eye!!! I think our daughter will finally have us committed!!! We can't express our love and gratitude enough to Cindy and Craig Miller for their friendship and support over the years - you are the absolute BEST and you mean the world to us - thank you for being such AWESOME mentors!!! None of this would have happened without you! Time and time again you teach us, help show us the way! You've opened up your hearts and home to us countless times! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! Thank you too to Tami Howard and Margo Maidlow for getting these two awesome dogs bred and for opening up their home to us while we got the breeding done. Two other great mentors!!!! All we can say is that we are so very fortunate to have made such awesome friendships with Cindy and Craig and Tami and Margo - people that care and are so dedicated to the love of the German Shepherd breed. We count our blessings everyday to have these people in our lives. Look for our 'kids' in the spring!!
