May 12, 2010 NO LITTER
We have some very disappointing news. The litter that we expected on May 7 arrived on May 12. The litter consisted of only ONE puppy who arrived around 11:55 am. This puppy presented in the breach position (hind legs first). On her way out, she became stuck and had to be pulled out. It was a difficult birth because Lola screamed whenever I pulled. Unfortunately the puppy was still born. Mom is a very small pug and the puppy may have been too big to deliver comfortably. Sorry Lola. Apologies to everyone who was on the wait list. Believe me - we wish it had been 4 healthy puppies instead.

We are pleased to advise that Lola has been bred to Tucker. We are hoping for a litter of fawn colored puppies around May 7, 2020.
Here is Lola at 9 weeks pregnant. She looks like she's carrying 4 babies not one!
The Whole Gang namely Tucker, Ebony, Lola and Karma are mourning the loss....

Birth Announcement - September 1, 2019
Farrah and Jim are proud to announce the birth of two shiny black girls born around midnight on September 1, 2019.
Both puppies were breach births. The first one became stuck (with nothing but her hind legs dangling out) for a long period of time. I was finally able to get her out by wrapping her In a terry towel dish cloth and pulling her out gently. She gasped for air upon arrival but did not move around for the first hour of her life. We kept massaging and rubbing her under a heat lamp until finally she began to move. Then she let out a small cry of protest. We knew at that moment that she would live and we both gave a sigh of relief.
The second puppy arrived three hours later. This one came out kicking and fighting! As soon as she was rubbed dry, we put her on a nipple where she settled in for a big meal.
The two girls are quite large for newborns – weighing in at 8 and 7-1/2 ounces respectively. In the past we have had puppies who only weighed 3-1/2 ounces. The average is about 6 ounces.
This morning the puppies are doing well, eating and sleeping; eating and sleeping some more. Farrah is such a good mother. The babies rarely cry; they are content, which is unusual for newborns.
