Charlotte with the puppies shortly following their birth.
Charlotte decided that she would give her puppies one of her Primal Freeze Dried Nuggets in case they got hungry when she was not in the whelping box. We thought it was a sweet gesture.

The puppies have increased their weight by at least fifty percent of their original weight. They are all gaining steadily.
Charlotte & Noble had six puppies on March 16th, 2018.
When Charlotte was a puppy, she quickly became our niece's favorite dog in the house. She has made it a point to bring her special gifts over the years. She made a request when Charlotte was still a puppy that if she was kept in our breeding program, she would choose the temporary puppy names for Charlotte first litter.
Charlotte & Noble's previous litters turned out so beautifully that we chose to repeat it. When we announced that we were repeating the breeding, our niece claimed naming rights on all of Charlotte's litters. She enjoys the process of choosing special temporary names for each puppy. We chose a 'Spring' theme for this litter.
The girls: Tulip and Spring
The boys: Bud, Sunny, Rain, and Peep

Bud is a male that is black in color with white tips on his feet and chest.
Tulip is a female that is black and tan.
Sunny is a male that appears black in color, but he is sable. His head is turning more and more gold each day. He reminds us of Noble as a puppy :o)

Peep was interested in the hoola hoop the moment we set it in the play room. Since it is very light, he picked it up with his mouth and proceeded to carry it throughtout the room.

Peep's all time favorite toy ... a fleece ball that makes a rattle sound :o)
