Photos of the new born puppies born January 4, 1999

              This litter of nine is the largest we have ever had and it also had

         "lucky #7", a male which was the smallest we have had to date,

          weighing 7 ounces.  Fortunately it appears he was conceived a day

          or two behind the others and is perfectly formed.  A real survivor

          he is not letting  his low birth weight stop him in catching up with

          his siblings.
