Payback has had her puppies
Born April 27th.
7 boys and 3 girls

Mother and puppies are doing great even though it was a long hard delivery lasting 16 hours!!!!!!!!!

The first puppy was born at 7:31 pm on the 27th and the last puppy was born at 11:32 am on the 28th!!

This is Payback's second and last litter.  Sixteen hours of labor is just to much to put her through.

Having regained her girlish figure, Payback was spayed 7/24/07.  My mother's intuition was right, Payback could never have sustained another pregnancy and might have died according to my Veterinarian.

ALL THESE PUPPIES ARE IN THEIR FOREVER HOMES.

Eight weeks old

HUGS ON THE BROTHER LT GREEN AND LT BLUE

WHAT A WONDERFUL GROUP, PAYBACK HAS DONE HERSELF PROUD!!!!

Please remember that I work to support my dogs and the hobby of showing them.
Puppies raised the way mine are require a great deal of time and committment.  They are raised in my familyroom, underfoot with the other dogs, my six cats and macaws for company.
Tuesday through Saturday, from the day they are born, mother and puppies go back and forth with me to my grooming shop where they meet so may new people and so many new sounds.
It is a labor intensive endeavor which I love.  I would do it no other way.  I cannot imaging leaving puppies and mother home alone for 8 to 10 hours to fend for themselves while the owners are at work, to me unthinkable.
By the time I get home from work with puppies in tow I have my home chores to do.  PLEASE be patient with me if I do not get back to you immediately.

More pictures of Payback can be seen on the 2006 litter page.  She is a great mother and a wonderful friend.

Please look on the "Wonderful Michael" and the "Beautiful Payback" pages to see more pictures of the parents.
