Not so many weeks ago Judy's litter ( top ) & Belle's litters were whelped . Now they're paper trained & working on crate training .  No accidents so far ! It's just a matter of not rushing to soon on training ,  restricting food & water a few hours before bedtime , & giving a last call potty run .

Sounds good but when you try to separate 6 puppies within ear shot of 11 adults , expect howls in various pitches . Then there's the escape artist . 3 times last night I found one pup in the kitchen chasing his mom ! Like kids they quieted down soon .  Good thing about Cardigans , even the puppies have the Neatness Gene , making housebreaking easier than most breeds .

A few Black & White pups to go & all the misadventures with these litters will blurr with all my other litters misadventures . Each pup I keep comes with their own pedigree of stories !
