The Spring Litter: Willow, Root, Fig, Twig and Sprout

This litter was born on the same date as last year's litter!  May 16th!  Must be our lucky day! Prada had a tough time moving the puppies down the two uterine horns so we took her to the Emergency Vet to make sure she was OK.  As soon as we got in the waiting room...BAM! She has her first puppy!  They got us into the Exam room and Boom! Another puppy! The Vet said she was fine and wouldn't have any trouble having the rest of her pups....and she was right! She had all 5 of them in about 3 hours....that is after starting contractions 24 hours before.  I'm a newby breeder, this is only my 3rd litter so I wanted to be safe rather than sorry.  Long story short, everyone is fine!  Three girls and two boys! All huge and healthy.  They are 13 days old and peepers are starting to open!
Willow is a blue merle female with lots of bling!  Root is a hunky dark blue merle male with lots of dark copper. Sprout is a gorgeous black tri female with full white collar and dark copper.  Twig is the smallest and is a black tri male with 3/4 white collar and the most gorgeous copper on his face.  Fig is a beautiful black tri girl with 3/4 white collar and lovely head and copper.  They are all unique and beautiful in their own way.
Prada throws beautifully marked puppies! I hope we have some blue eyes but it is hard to tell yet.

You have a beautiful litter Tracy! :) I had forgotten how truly amazing the mothers are with their pups (Baby, Beagle, had a litter...seems like a life time ago). Root has become out favorite. Could you move him into the #1 slot? Have a great Memorial Day!

    I'm just a dog lover and hobby breeder of Miniature American Shepherds in Middle Tennessee.  I have excellent bloodlines (by the grace of several long time breeders) and health tested dogs with wonderful temperaments and who are a joy to live with.  With each litter, I strive to match the correct male with my female to "design" puppies that adhere to the breed standard as closely as possible.  Beauty, health, brains and great temperament are present in all of my dogs.

    I also follow the puppy culture protocol for raising puppies.  They are given new toys/experiences almost everyday.  
    ​Go to www.puppyculture.com to see what I mean.

    I love to take photos of flowers and dogs. My dogs live in the house with me and we do lots of activities together.
