We've tried two other times to breed Darla and she has not conceived. She would not allow another male to mate with her (she simply sat down! lol!), nor did she conceive through artificial insemination. For those who know, this is very odd behaviour in the dog world!.

I thought that if anyone could convince her, our gentle and sweet Casanova, Yogi, could. And sure enough, they're now both very proud to announce their beautiful litter of 8 puppies; 5 boys and 3 girls.

Our theme for this litter is named after Guitar Brands: The boys are Fender, Gibson, Martin, Seagull and Yamaha. The girls are Epiphone, Ovation and Taylor. There's a large variety of colours and sizes in this litter. I believe the pups will likely grow to be 55-80 lbs.

Both Darla and Yogi are gentle-natured dogs so we'll see as time goes on how their babies turn out. These pups will go to their vet visit on August 12 and choosing will start shortly after that. They'll be 8 weeks old August 20 and I can start letting them go home starting on the 21st at the earliest.

I've done an experiment with my last four litters to allow some pups to stay here up to 12 weeks. Any pup who is going to become a service or therapy dog, or if your family has small children, or if you don't have experience with rearing puppies, this time is recommended. There's a $50 per week charge for any claimed pups staying after 10 weeks of age plus $20 for any needed shots to keep them updated.

Please contact me if you're interested in Darla's pups or if you have any questions.
