Over a relatively smooth and quick 7 hour whelp, Mia produced 3 males (2 blacks, 1 liver) and 5 females (3 blacks, 2 livers). All are good sized puppies and heartily nursing today. 

It took a little time but it finally came through. As always, you want to choose puppies from litters in which BOTH parents have at LEAST the minimum recommended testing by OFA and their parent breed clubs.

The upcoming litter may have liver (chocolate brown) and/or black spotted puppies, boys and/or girls, and of course, LUA and/or HUA puppies. 

Here's some photos of Mia & Capra, and the pedigree.

Every show/breeding dog should get health tests. The eyes should get repeated screening to check for congenital problems (those present at birth) and acquired problems (developed with age). Capra and Mia went to Eye Care For Animals and both got "Normal" eye clearance...

Hopefully we will have pups in early 2020!
