Week Old Today !

Sally's first litter is a week old today !
In a few days , we'll start the pups on soft mushy food .
We have 9 pups to see the vet today , with mom for checkup . The littlest one life's struggle is over . As a breeder one has to understand Nature , the strongest survive . This is why we don't promise pups until the nervous stage is over . At three weeks , hearty pups that are eating well pass the first test of Mother Nature .

  5. Hope people understand Mother Nature & responsibly of my Stewardship to the Cardigan Breed . In large litters it is common to have a weak pup . Our goal is to produce sound healthy pups . Sometimes we will lose one , no matter how had we try .

  7. Bruce, we have had 2 of your Cardigans over the last 12 years or so. Followed many of your litters. We realize you are responsible and caring. We trust you. The emotions you read on this blog are sadness for the poor pup, not any criticism of you or Kate. We hold you in high honor.
