UPDATE!! PUPPIES!! -- The puppies have dropped

[Corinna]

Jordan does a local shelter have momless pups you could foster that would solve a problem for 2 pups.

I'm sorry there's only one . I really like both the call name and registered name that you're thinking of calling him.

Though it is a bit of a bummer that he's the only one... is she being a good mum?

P.S. You know PTers, we don't want to be ripped off on puppy pics. We will want 8X as many pics. Can't wait for them.

Thanks everyone, I took some pictures of Solo, I just have to upload and resize them. He is a major cutie patootie, I just love him. He' so black and shiny and such a whiner. I don't remember Kelly's puppies being so noisy and active at this age. He's crawling around the kennel like a madman making little "merrr merrr" noises. Singletons really are tough, Visa has a bloody panic attack when you walk away with the puppy and if you take him she will stare at you. When there are more puppies the mom won't even notice. He also gets cleaned SO much, she won't leave him alone for two seconds. Not to mention he's fat LOL. He's average size, 12 ounces at birth which is very normal, but he's already gained an ounce since lastnight. He's adorable.

I thought the exact same thing! The SPCA doesn't have anything but I'm going to ask around and see what I can find.

So I've decided that instead of Dillon I may breed her to Loki first and then Dillon the year after (depending on Loki's temperment -- right now I don't find him suited to Visa). It's just that, if she didn't absorb the puppies, it may be a fertility issue, and I'm not going to spend over $1000 mating her to Dillon when no pups will come out of it. So I may as well try her with Loki, who won't cost me any money, and if she has another small litter we will know it's an issue with her fertility and I won't go ahead with the breeding with Dillon -- it would be heartbreaking to spend over a grand and not get my next puppy out of it. Loki wouldn't be a poor match, his problems thus far are more of an environmental thing if you ask me, but he is an insecure dog and I don't want to mix that with Visa's drive. If he proves himself in the future to be a nice, secure dog (and he's already getting better) I will be comfortable. They sure as heck would be GORGEOUS pups, Loki is stunning, and his temperment is lovely, just mixed with Visa's I'm not sure yet. We'll see.

Pictures coming up.
