After a long wait the puppies were born in the early morning hours of August 10, 2016. The labor went relatively smoothly and quickly on such a hot humid morning! Lilly did great and has been a natural mother just like her mother was! After the first puppy was born she figured out quite quickly what was going on and took over from there. It's been a hectic few days from frantically working to finish the renovations in the whelping room, to having puppies, to heading off to the Iowa State Fair to watch my children do what they love to do. I've been a little behind on getting pictures updated, so my plan is to make up for that in the next few days! Hope you all enjoy the next few weeks as you watch the puppies grow and change, and of course get tons of attention! The way I look at it 5 puppies (2 female, 3 males) will get plenty of love an attention!
