5 Beauties
Although Raven delivered 6 live puppies in 2 1/2 hours on Thurs., the smallest fellow was not strong enough to survive. We now have 2 males and 3 females, all curly coats. they have some markings of white on chests and feet except for one girl who is all black.
This is Raven's last litter and, as I have only one pair, this is the end of breeding for me. I have met my goal when I started doing this as a hobby. My goal was to make this breed more common in the Maritimes. From 5 litters, there are 29 puppies placed by Jayfarm Kennels and only 3 of those have gone out of the Maritimes.
I will continue my commitment though, to take back any one of my pups for his or her lifetime if the situation deems he or she needs rehoming. I have had to do this only once because of a sudden health issue. The rehoming happened in less than 12 hours.
So I have 5 puppies available for adoption.

Raven { and I } wait!
A quick note to say Raven is waiting for something to happen. Nature is taking its' course and will not be rushed. She does a lot of panting and seems much larger than her last breeding. She has been walking with me every day although I have shortened the walk by 10 minutes. As soon as the big event happens, I will post it here. I am ready this time with an air mattress so I can rest in a little more comfort instead of on a love seat for 10 days!
