We have MORE puppies!

Well, Galena did it again! Last November our vet had counted six pups on the ultrasound but she gave us six. Now, I am very pleased to announce that Galena surprised us in the wee hours of Sunday morning by giving birth to EIGHT beautiful babies, rather than the seven our vet had counted at the end of June. Cumin is the sire to this litter as he was to the last.

We have:
Puppy #1: male, 201g, caramel, born at 12:38am (Qibli)
Puppy #2: male, 238g, chocolate silvered phantom, born at 12:56am (Apex)
Puppy #3: female, 187g, light caramel, born at 01:21 (Mica)
Puppy #4: male, 255g, chocolate with white chest, born at 01: 49 (Bruno)
Puppy #5: female, 209g, chocolate phantom, born at 02:06 (Brooke)
Puppy #6: male, 250g, very pale cream, born at 02:53 (Zeus)
Puppy #7: female, 233g, solid chocolate, born at 03:17 (Piper)
Puppy #8: male, 221g, dark caramel/red, born at 03:22 (Flame)



So yes, my daughter Tristan and I had a pretty sleepless night, getting to bed around 4am (once we were sure she was done) and sleeping in until around 11.

This means that the winner of the Guess How Many Puppies contest is Catherine, who guessed eight puppies with the first born on 24 July at 3:00pm. When she submitted her guess, I remember thinking “24 July? No way, that’s way too early!” So much for my assumptions! In fact, Galena had been scheduled to come to us the afternoon of July 24, but her Guardians called up mid-Saturday asking if they could bring her over that evening as they didn’t think she would last until Sunday afternoon. Were they ever right!


Three of these puppies are already reserved, leaving five available. If you know anyone who is thinking of getting a puppy, send them our way!
