Hope's first litter consisted of:

2 chocolate girls, 4 chocolate boys, 4 black girls, and one (large) black boy! = 11 pups!

ALL VERY HEALTHY!    Mother and puppies are doing fine.

WEEK ONE UPDATE:

In the first week of life the pups have bonded with mom and are growing like weeds, and our house is very active. Mom is very attentive. Dr. Hutch's assistants all commented on how our life was going to be very busy! I nudged my husband, and whispered to him "We have Pirate and Hope puppies"! Everyone came out with drive and desire, and told the whole room about it!

When they went back to Dr. Stone for the dew claws at 3 days of age - his jaw dropped open and he could not believe how healthy and how "shiny" their coats were. We have a great group of boys and girls that will accomplish so many things in their lives!
