Hi, Listers! Venus' pups are arriving as I write, and I am so thrilled! This is a first litter for both of us after many years of studying, planning, and being very picky so as not to knowingly add to breed problems. Since I am looking for a special bitch in the litter, it is of even more significance to me. So far, we have three--a boy and two girls. Is one of these little girls THE ONE??? I can't help but wonder. I wish I could pick them wet, as some of you do. Right now, though, I am just so glad to see them and to participate with Venus in this event. It is so amazing to sit here and look at my first newborn puppies. Just watching them breathe is beyond good! Venus has had a very easy time so far. I gave her Solid Gold's Concept-A-Bitch during her pregnancy, so maybe it helped. More later!
