All born a massive 1lb 8oz and all had gained a further 1lb by the time they were 6 days old. Eyes hopefully open by the end of the week when i will post some more pics.

Despite the litter being bigger than expected i only have 1 girl available and a few applications for her that i still have to check out, i'm notoriously fussy where my darling pupsters go.

They look so healthy... well done to Mum !!!! Plump and adorable.

I don't blame you on the vetting. We were positively paranoid when It came to who our puppies went to.

More pics when you can BC please. It will be lovely to see them grow here.

This is the available girl, all the rest were booked before birth. Mum was scanned with one pup so i had warned everyone it was unlikely they would get a baby and to look elsewhere, fortunately a few hung on hoping.

5 were born, just shows you should never give up hope and your dreams WILL come true.

In Scotland we say - if its meant for you, it wont go past you.

I just showed the pics to Mr O and he's been cooing and arrhing also.

They are absolutely adorable. Thank You so much for sharing.

The worst part Is parting with them as I know all too well. You become so attached In just a short time. All our 3 litters had nicknames, such as Mr Bunny, Mr Fluffy, Mrs Perfect etc. Have you given them any nicknames yet?

My nephew has Japanese Akito's and the pups look similar at birth.

buttercup · Post by **buttercup** » Thu Oct 06, 2011 12:39 pm

Well the available girl is nicknamed Princess, you kinda have to give them wee nicknames eh?

My problem is always giving them up, bawl my eyes out when they go but all my puppy owners stay in touch and i class them as friends, that's the bonus of being a hobby breeder compared to a commercial one.

I truly have been blessed as some friends of mine who breed have lost contact with their puppy owners, i don't honestly know how i would cope with that, far too horrible to imagine.

We bred 18 Parson's, 6 In each litter although I have never forgiven Scully for giving birth on Christmas day with one litter.

We stayed In touch with all of them and the one's born on Christmas Day, get a Birthday card. Sadly, some of them we lost contact with and It still haunts me as to where they are and are they happy ?

One of the most touching was puppy Mr Bunny. He was totally white except for one black bullseye on one eye. He was perfect kennel club standard and went to a couple In Bristol to be a companion for another dog but after three weeks they asked If we would take him back as the elderly dog was becoming Ill and all Mr Bunny wanted to do was play.

We re-advertised him and an elderly couple contacted us. They had two dogs and one had just died of old age. The female, Belle, was distraught and since her companions passing had refused to come out from under the kitchen table. She really was pining away and they were so worried about her. Given his previous home, we were dubious but they wanted him so much. We knew he would have a wonderful home so decided to go for It on the understanding that should the same thing happen, we would keep him as our own.

We took him over and spent some time there with Belle peering at the young whippersnapper from under the kitchen table.

The phone rang at 7 am the next morning and It was the old lady, so excited because she had awoke to find Belle, curled up with Mr Bunny In his new basket.

They re-named him Zak and they spent a few years together before Belle died of old age.

When I advertised the second litter, my advert said 'Pups seen with Mother and Father'... This woman rang and asked that from our advert, we obviously had the male pedigree Parson. She asked If he could oblige her bitch who was about to come Into season. She lived about a mile from us and at the right time, we drove round there with Mulder. He ran Into her garden to greet her bitch who promptly obliged and 5 minutes later, we were leaving. That's the fastest £100 I have ever earned.

Actually that one is trouble lol, i'm having some serious issues parting with them, the three still here are below, it now looks like we will keep the two sable girls and the gorgeous Lia (dark girl) will be available to a pet home after her second vaccination at the end of the week.
