First Pictures of the Babies
The puppies and Islay have been amazing. I was so worried with so many puppies that we would have to split them up but so far Islay has been wonderful with them!

Islay/Shooter Puppies are Here!!
April 4th, 2011, Islay had her 12 babies, 3 girls and 9 boys. The whelping started at 6:30 am and didn't finish till the last one came at 11 pm. What a long day for her and me!! Fortunately Doris Berry came for the afternoon to help me and gave me a chance to take a little nap while Islay also took a 4 hour rest in the middle of it all. I was most surprised by the size of the puppies. One girl was 12 oz. But everyone else was a pound or more!! I figured she had 15 or more pounds of puppies and afterbirth in her!! Shown here is a picture of my poor girl a few days before the birth.
Breeder of Merit!
