Hi Pirateeye

They are just georgeous!! How many did she have? She looks like she is being a good mum. Funny how most animals take to motherhood like a duck to water.

Looking forward to more photos as once they start moving about, that is when the real fun starts.

Best of luck with them. They are just ............:eyes (Cant think of the words)

They are gorgeous! Poor mum looks exhausted, how many are there ~ think I counted 6.

[pirateeye]

thanks
shes great with them now. she had 8 pups. 4 girls 4 boys
in this photo there are only 7
she had had 8 by then but we didn't know. when we took her out to toilet this morning she had one in the field! we had no idea, the grass is so long. thankfully with its screaming its little heart out, i found it. so very cold but now i cant tell which one it is. it was starving. good job the sun was out!
all are healthy and plump, nice size and surviving well.
as much as she loves her husband, she likes doing this task alone:)

yes i will add more pictures for people to see as they grow.

what lovely puppies, so cute, oh what fun you are going to have when they get up and about, and i find a 2 year old hard work wouldnt fancy looking after this lot lol

pirateye congrats to the mum she looks like a very contented mum

[Dadie]

they are adorable. all wrinkles and paws with little fat tummies. awwwwh.
you will be busy when they get up on their feet.

[brandy]

awwww how sweet! are they all black or did i spy a choc. there?

[pirateeye]

no they are all black. surprising because mum is chocolate and there was yellow in dads family so thought there'd be at least something else but no daddies black genes over ruled and all 8 babies are black
