Slideshow 1 - Spring 1997 Litter 14 photos 259KB
BEB's very first litter of puppies, whelped 5/31/1997. Nothing real squeamish to look at, but this is as young as they get on film short of a prenatal x-ray. The cross is Lehner's Barney Patch X Shildt's Lacey Patch (pedigree, 10KB PDF); this is the only litter we had with her before she was sold. One of the pups is Lehner's Sluggo Patch - he's now owned by Larry Parrott in South Carolina. Can you pick him out, Larry?
Here are a few out-with-the-dogs photos that will end up in slideshows
