We Proudly Announce The Arrival of...


IF YOU CAN DREAM...
We proudly announce the arrival of 11 beautiful Brittany puppies and the good news that Treasure and all her babies are doing wonderful.  John and I are proud, thrilled, happy and ecstatic for all the right reasons. Treasure whelped on Day 62 of her first breeding.   The first puppy was born at 10:45 a.m. Sunday morning, October 11 and the last puppy was born at 4:30 p.m. that afternoon.  Treasure is taking to the role of motherhood quite naturally.  The whelping was uncomplicated and uneventful - very smooth sailing, graceful and peaceful.  She had no problem and our assistance was very minimal.  All pups are nursing and thriving and are under constant watch by John and I who are taking turns.   The first 72 hours are critical in all litters, but especially so with a large one like this.  They have each gained well over the first 24 hours and mom and pups go to the vets tomorrow.  This litters average birth weight is 8.5 oz.  There will be a lot more to write about in the coming days and pictures and videos will be forthcoming as well.  John and I are completely exhausted but this is so worth it. I'm thankful that he is home because this is the first time we have ever had this many puppies at once and this is definitely a two person litter!  There are 7 males and 4 females.  5 liver and white pups and 6 white and orange pups. Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes - we are grateful to God for watching over one of His lesser creations and He is faithful to protect ALL that concerns those who believe... and we are seeing the evidence once again.  We feel blessed for a multitude of reasons, and are so happy to share this particular joyful occasion with those of you who care about All Things Brittany!  God Bless you, John and Ann, Treasure and pups, and all the crew
