Nika and I are thrilled to introduce her new babies, born in the early hours of Wednesday.  It was a very uneventful textbook whelping and as always Nika is being a fantastic mother. 

This was a black and tan to black and tan breeding and although we knew all four colours were possible, Nika and Sonny decided to have a bit of a parti!

Introducing in birth order;

Starburst, beautifully marked tricolour girl

Rodeo, wild black and tan girl.  I wouldn’t expect anything less than wild 😉

As you can see Nika is in fine form and has already begun her famous ball collection.  Orange one first, and a pink one tonight.  All that white in the box is a bit weird for me.

Nika watching carefully as I take pictures of her crew.  Looking a bit concerned but very pretty.

To more sleepless nights with adorable puppies and their mom. 

I am planning to sneak out for a few hours on Sunday for the Cavalier picnic.  Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend and maybe see you on Sunday!
