Life happens...

I hear so often that I have such a great life, spending my days with dogs, training, raising pups and don't get e wrong, it is pretty amazing, most days.  This past summer life with dogs took a turn for the worse and what is usually a fun and exciting time became tragic.

I was excited and looking forward to a wonderful litter of pups to arrive, the mom, Bea a gorgeous Fiddle and Beamish daughter.   Bea lived with my friend in Wisconsin and obtained her American championship with four major wins.  Bea, a funny, outgoing girl came to me at the end of July to deliver her pups.  Sadly, and for the first time, we lost Bea during an emergency c-section to deliver her 11 pups.  This was devastating to me, a breeders worse nightmare. 

I had little time to mourn the loss of the beautiful Bea as I had to work day and night to feed and raise her pups.  It was an intense 3 weeks feeding the pups every few hours, little sleep but, I am happy to say they have thrived and are now almost 5 weeks of age and normal happy pups in every way.

I have a Puppy Blog that follows the birth and the raising of Bea's pups, have a look they are sure a lovely group of pups  http://beapups.blogspot.ca/
