Pups are 4 weeks old and growing fast! Last days before they go out to the workshop for more space to play.

Rolo's pups, 12 days old and coming on really well. The smallest black bitch is now 3 times her birth weight of 8ozs but so too are her siblings which look really large by comparison. I'm about to order some full fat goats milk for next week to start weaning them

Day 2 and the pups are growing well. We have one black bitch left to be reserved

Photos taken this morning

Killyrudden Miranda produced 7 healthy puppies yesterday afternoon: 4 black bitches, 2 chocolate bitches and 1 black dog. The sire is the hugely talented dog, FTW Deerbridge Lawrence owned by Liz Barnes who carries a little known working chocolate gene and so this litter should be of interest in the working chocolate world. There is certainly one black bitch left to be reserved and possibly the black dog both of which will carry the chocolate gene. I'll send pedigree and further details on request.

Think I'm going to be up all night!

Delighted to tell everyone that we have had Killyrudden Miranda scanned this afternoon and she is carrying 7+ pups. She was mated to FTW Deerbridge Lawrence. Pups due 26th November. If only the scan could tell you the colour of the litter which statistically should be 50:50 black:chocolate, life would be simple! Excellent pedigree and health screening on both sides of sire and dam - pm me for more details.

Like this a lot! Killyrudden Brigand with owner Liz Mossop training with Pippa Williams in Cumbria

Really good news for all the new owners of the latest litter: Verrad Firefly, the stud dog we used has come 2nd at the Midland Counties open cold game test yesterday. This is his biggest success to date. This dog is going to go far - and so will your puppies if you give them the chance!

Good news yesterday - Killyrudden Surefoot of Flypatch was first in the Midland Counties novice. Owned and run by Tim Brain, this pup was in Solo's first litter. We have the litter sister, Killyrudden Bootlace here who is coming on well and we hope to breed from in the near future.

Who knew a sock was so exciting?
