Labrador puppies due soon!

[puddledub]

Last night I managed to talk my stud vet into scanning my labrador bitch (he is an equine specialist vet and hasn't done dogs for years so was 'napping' it a bit )

Anyhow, the exciting thing is that not only is she in pup, but looks to be having around 9 puppies.

Her due date is 4 weeks on Saturday, but my bitches normally go a few days early, so expecting them anytime from 4 weeks from now really.

She is black and 3rd generation of my breeding and has a very impressive field trial pedigree being by Field Trial Champion Rod wallace of Leadburn, her mum was by FT CH Shortthorn Tommy and her granny was by FT CH Symington Clarerone.

The pups dad is a very well thought of dog who is regularly in the Scottish team; FT CH Emmawood Drake

I am very excited, as I think this will be a particularly special litter
....... but I am NOT keeping one!

Oh I wish I could have one however we already have 3 labs and a rotty!

Yes, this is Walla's last litter of pups (well labs anyway, she may have a litter of 'doodles next year )

Are you going to come and see them Caroline?

Am I invited??? I love my Puddledub lab so much.... she is the most affectionate lovely character and I would love another but my hubby says he doesnt want to dilute his love for Sapphie by having another one...

[puddledub]

of course you are welcome! ;D

I thought she would have had them by now, but she is hanging on. I have had so little sleep recently, that I could do with her waiting 'til tomorrow rather than going tonight.

However, will make an announcement when they arrive!

[puddledub]

Walla has had her puppies - (well I think she has finished) and we have 8 lovely healthy looking puppies. Seven black and one yellow, but rather unfortunately (due to booking requirements) only one bitch puppy.

She hasn't had a puppy since 7.45pm and has had a couple of oxytocin injections and although I thought there may be one more I feel she would have had it by now if that was the case.

Will get pics and post in the next day or so ;D
