Poppy's pups 1 day old

yay photos. You have two very dark merles. Are they a dark chocolate colour? The one at the top in the first photo looks almost black in colour.

Both parents are chocolate merle and they are alway very dark coloured chocolate.

yay puppies!!!! what a beautiful mixture of colours, looking forward to hearing the mischief stories

They are absolutely gorgeous!!

I love the chocolate merle colour of the pup up the top in that first piccie... so beautiful.

Who was the dad again Jackie? you said, but I forgot. <duh>

there's some beauties in there! Boy I wish I was in the market for a puppy! I thinkI like the one by her tail in the last pic. :-)

Smith is the father of this litter same as Poppy's last litter that produced my darling Frazzle and Spud (Mal's star tracker). Puppies are growing like weeds and Poppy is being a better mum this time.

We had a little "incident" with my mum's border collie, Tia who is boarding with me while my parents are away, she pushed the sliding door open on Monday night and got into the house and killed two of the puppies. Unfortunately, Penny the boy you liked and the girl with the white around her neck were killed. I was a very sad day ... Tia now stays in the paddock where she cannot get up to any more mischief.

Poppy is not a protective mother as none of my other dogs have ever bothered the puppies, the pups just scamper around amoungst the older dogs and learn their manners from the adults. I suppose that being so young and small it is not the same.

Well lesson learnt anyway.

oh thats terrible news :( poor puppies

So sorry to hear about the losses in your litter, Jackie. Beautiful colours in all of them.

She really did well didn't she and all with long tails except Weed who we don't know whether she will be strong enough yet she is very very small but a real fighter!!

A lovely litter, sorry to hear of your mishap,sadly these things happen.

Look forward to seeing them grow.

Oh Damn, she would pick on my favorite and 2nd favorite. :-( So sorry to hear this.

That's no good about the pups... :-(

Well I hope the rest get strong and healthy and we get to see them grow

I've just seen this Jackie (I've been away)- what a terrible thing to have happened to Poppy and you. So sorry it has happened. Has Tia shown any behaviour like that to puppies before?
