After having problems posting to the website - we are back up and running!
We have new puppies and all sorts of things.
We’ll do a better job of updating soon!

We are just days away from the birth of our Extravagant litter. Momma Maylea is starting to get uncomfortable. You would be uncomfortable too if the X-ray showed as many puppies as this one does.
Our trusted vet has said there are at least nine puppies pictured and possibly a tenth one. So only time will tell how many babies Maylea and Clark will welcome into the world in just a few short days.

Aprilm15th Velvet (Ch Sterling Something Wicked) gave birth to 8 beautiful black babies. Proud papa Clark (NSD Ch El-Shaddai's PS I M Superman) was very happy to learn that all his babies and his first love, Velvet, are doing well.
​Congratulations Jaqi & Velvet!
