The puppies are here!

At long last, the much-awaited email arrived this afternoon!

Italia had her puppies two days ago and all is well, she had six in total, five girls and one boy. Porsha had her puppies also, and there are seven puppies, with four boys and three girls, in her litter. Pictures attached of both moms with their puppies, l will be in touch again with puppy pictures once their eyes are open at two weeks,

So five boys, though I'm not sure how the colour distribution is. In the pictures they all look more or less red, but as far as I can tell from having looked at other pictures, it's not necessarily clear right away.

In the first picture is Italia with her six little ones. In the second is Porsha. The little one lying on its side looks like it could be grey, but other than that I really can't say, they look more or less red to me. (Edit: I asked the breeder, and she confirmed that two of Porsha's girls are grey — including the one I guessed! The rest are all red) The two-week pictures will be extremely exciting, and then to see how they develop over the next few weeks after that.


Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go right back to bouncing excitedly around.
