After several failed pregancies, Rosie finally gave birth to four healthy puppies on August Bank Holiday 2006. Labour wasn't easy, but she proved to be an excellent Mum.

There were 2 tri-colour little girls and 2 orange roan little boys, each weighing nearly 8oz at birth. In the photo above, the pups are about two weeks old.

 

                           

 

                        

 

From this litter, we kept Bramble, the last one born and the tri-colour with the black spot on her side.
