We have no Lab or Pug litters planned for 2008 at this point in time. We will update this page if our plans change. We will list litters from reputable breeders that we know personally when we hear of available pups.

Our last litter was in December, 2006 -- Cori was bred to AM/CAN CH Lor-als Got Our Power Play CD MH (Blades).

Here are photos of our winter litter. (all puppies have homes)

Cori's pups 24 hours
Puppies were born on 12/20/06 (first 3) and 12/21/06 (straggler via c-section). We have 2 yellow females and 2 black males. Pups were all about a pound each.

Here are the photos showing how they grew from day one through week 8.

Cori and Ali sharing parenting job.
Ali, who last had puppies 2 years ago, loves to help with Cori's puppies to the point she will clean them and let them nurse on her (she does not have any milk)! Ali is in the foreground. Each of them always takes two puppies when Ali joins Cori in the whelping box!

1/28/07 They toddle all over the kitchen/dining/office area when we are supervising them, otherwise they are safe in the x-pen. We are introducing them to the grooming table and teaching them how to stand as well as introducing the "dremel" to them for nail trims.

Mr. Navy lounging in the agility tunnel. The pups love the tunnels and often take their toys in there to play (or hide them from their litter mates maybe).

2/6/07 7 weeks old....time flies. Eye exams were done at the vet school -- the puppies' first road trip on a very cold (high just above zero) day but they all did great. On the return home they got their first feel/taste of snow. Now they are going outside for short periods a couple of times daily. The end of next week they will be going to their new homes.

2/14/07 8 weeks old -- typical puppy schedule:
Wake up, play, potty, play, eat, go outside to do business, play, sleep. Repeat schedule 3 or 4 times per day!

Favorite things -- retrieving toys, carrying around turkey feathers, playing tug with each other, racing through agility tunnel (now curved), chewing on legal or illegal items.
Here are a couple of our precious "Valentines" in a quiet moment.

8 weeks old and meeting their new families.....time goes so quickly when you only have 8 weeks together but we know these puppies will all be very loved.

Mr. Yellow going home with his new owner. This is one smart boy. You may see him in the agility or obedience ring some day after he finishes training his owner.

Miss Pink going home
Miss Pink with her new family. She has a big brother "Bear" waiting for her at home. This little girl also has twin girls to dote on her, pet therapy work and agility training are in her future.

Oh and what about Mr. Navy? He is now known as "Zamboni" and will be staying right here!

Thinking of getting a Lab? Please read this information to see if one is right for your lifestyle.

Here is a recap from our 2/05 litter that we have left up so others can see the work and loving care that goes into raising a litter of puppies at our house.

We hope that sharing some of our experiences with this litter will be informative to those thinking of purchasing a Lab puppy in the future or possibly breeding their Labrador Retriever.
