Since my last post we have good news and bad.
All our Shiba litters have arrived. Unfortunately, Tina's litter of 3, didn't make it past 24hours. Tina is recovering well. She seemed depressed and confused the first day or two, but is now back to her old self. As for the other moms and pups, all are doing excellent.
Cincin had a beautiful red litter of 3 girls and 2 boys. They were born July 14th. Now 3 weeks old, they have already mastered walking, fussing and being so darn irresistible. My favorite out of this bunch is the smallest boy. He was the same size as the rest of his siblings until this past week and a half. Now he is about half the weight of his brother and still fitting in the palm of my hand. I think he might be a Mame Shiba (Mame meaning bean ... a name they choose for smaller Shibas reaching around 10lbs at adulthood). This little guy is also they most outgoing and curious right now. As for the girls, we are plan to keep one from this litter as we are rehoming Cincin this fall. Our little girls' name is Libby. We will pick her out around 6-7 weeks of age.
Winnie was the next to have her pups. Born July 27th, 3 boys and 3 girls. We were hoping for a least one or two Black and Tan pups to be born as it has been awhile since we have had that coloring be born in our home. To our surprise she had 5 gorgeous Black and Tans and 1 Red Sesame. We plan to keep 3 puppies. One male and two females (including the Red Sesame). Their Names are Ruxpin, Ebony and Bliss. We look forward to watching them grow.
Molly had a interesting litter of 4, born July 28th. She was bred to Shubert, our cream male. She had 2 dark creams, 1 red and 1 solid black pup. We were very excited to see a solid black, just like her.
Mitsue's pups are growing so fast. Already at 4.5 weeks old, they have started eating puppy food and started developing their own personalities. The girl, Ginger, will be going to a home in New Foundland. Two boys have also found homes, here in Alberta. Only one boy left. Check out our website for more stories and details on the pups.
