We've had 5 puppies delivered so far. One was still born. Four are crawling around. Two of those are pretty small.
Picture later tonight.
-
Congratulations Papa Dave. :)
-
Congrats, they make great quivers....... ::),,,what its a joke!
-
4dog, that was in poor taste. We have one puppy that died and birth and 2 more struggling for their lives. Bad judgement IMO.
-
I want pics gramps! Nothing cuter than puppies.
-
PD, I'll get pics posted when I get off work at midnight.
We have 4 liver, one lemon and one white puppy. The lemon is having breathing problems. My wife has taken it to the vet. The white one is the runt. I didn't think it would make it. But, it's being a little scrapper and has found a teet, so hopefully it will make it. This is Puddin's first and last litter. She's 7 1/2. She's been a real trooper and is doing fine.
-
Congrats Dave! Always nice to be able to keep the genes of your beloved dogs in the family. Wish we hadn't had our Jack fixed until she had some puppies :(
-
I hope they pull through Dave. I know you guys are doing all you can to help them.
-
Wish them the best, Dave.
-
Hoping for the best Dave now get some pic up lol
-
Congrats grandpa. What kind of dogs are they?
-
We ended up taking the runt to puppy neonatal icu, also. It was rooting around but couldn't manage to suckle. We lost the lemon that was having breathing problems. The runt is still hanging in there. It's hooked to feeding tube and is in an oxygen tent. It's a scrapper, so we have hope.
Pat, they are Brittany Spaniels. Besides being great pets and really good bird dogs, they have as bout as good of pedigrees as you'll find anywhere.
Here's a few pics. Some of the pics have the white runt in the middle of the pile.

Ok i apologize for my post, i have dogs, i have bred my dogs (Boston Terriers) and i can see how it may have offended you,perhaps my bad attempt at lightening up and making ya laugh at a hard situation, but i truly thought i made it plain it was a joke, again conratulations.
-
I want one!
-
Dave has some fine dogs Pearly. I got to meet them at his Moontree gathering.
-
Man do I love puppies! I sure am sorry you lost some Dave. :( On the brighter side, seeing the rest of em all rooted in there for chow sure put a big smile on my face! ;D. Thanks for sharing them with us! Josh

4dogs, no problem. It was just a very stressful day.
The runt is back home from puppy ICU. It was sucking on a bottle, so the vet thought it would be fine. Re-introducing her to Puddin' was a bit tense, but it worked out.
Pearly, we have 5 puppies. The owner of the stud dogs gets one and we're keeping a girl. So, there's 3 we will be selling.
-
Mama looks like she's doin' fine. Good luck with the puppies.

Never owned a Brit, but I have been blessed to receive the hard work of a few out in the field for pheasants. I can only imagine the waves of joy getting down in the floor in a pile of those pups could bring.
I never had enough dogs growing up. But then, if I would had a hundred I could and probably would say the same thing. Give my best to Mama Puddin'.
-
Awesome. I like the last pic of the mama dog - she looks proud of herself. :)
-
Thanks guy for all the kind words of encouragement.
JW, I hunted over my first Brittany in the winter of '90. By spring I got my first one. I've had them ever since. They make great house dogs with loving dispositions. But, when they see pull out a shotgun, it's all business. I usually, put shock collars on them just in case they need a little reminder in the field. It's so funny to watch them when I get the shock collar case out. Both, Puddin' and her mom, Jas, run over and sit at my feet with their necks stuck out so I can put the collars on them. They know those collars mean they get to go hunting with Dad.
-
Congrats on the Pups Dave ! My English Setter Izzy does the same thing. Get out the shotgun/collar or God forbid She hears the tinkle of the Her bell when I get My vest out - She starts bouncing off the walls and running to the back door, ready to get in the truck to go Huntin' . Gotta love pics of Puppies and Kids -ALWAYS puts a BIG grin on My face ! Bob
-
Nice litter Dave! Always a bummer to lose one :(. I'm with Pappy, I favor runts and had an English Pointer because of it. Best bird dog ever. Hope to see the new addition next spring at Moontree.
Tracy
Oh yeah, I hope my wife doesn't see the pics and please disregard her pm Dave >:D

That right there speaks volumes for you as a dog trainer. Far too any people do not use e-collars correctly and do nothing but ruin a good dog. Frankly, I would bet that a good 95% of all e-collars in use are doing nothing but ruining the relationship between the dog and the handler, causing the dog excessive confusion, and making the handler think their dog is being "bad" or "stubborn".
To your dogs, the e-collar represents the opportunity to go do things that please you and reinforce your relationship. And after all, that's what a dog loves doing.

Runts make the best dogs in my limited experience. Growing up we had a number of dogs, and the runts were always among my favorites. Congrats on the new additions.
-
The runt has lost weight, so she's spending the night back in puppy ICU with a feeding tube. We're still hopeful.
-
Dogs, IMO, are better than people 90% of the time.
Growing up, I had a doberman, as an only child she was with me ALL THE TIME and my best friend.
My wife and I have had boxers. Fantastic breed, especially with kids, and about the funniest breed on the planet. One of the few dog breeds that wag not just their nubbin tails, but their entire back half....ours touches head to beeehind all the time.
So, that said the Stonedogs and Charlie the boxer are sending boxer wiggles, kisses and good thought from the hoomens!
-
sorry to hear the loss of one Dave.i'll be pulling for the runt.like Pappy said,i'll take the runt.heck,i was the runt of the litter and turned out fine.good luck Dave.
-
We talked with the puppy ICU vet today. The runt gained .5 oz in the last 24 hours. It's eating well from a bottle. We decided to leave her there another day. We're taking Puddin' and the pups to our regular vet tomorrow to get the pup's tails bobbed. Puddin' and the other pups travelled well yesterday when we took Puddin' in for a check up.
-
that is good news Dave.
