cleaning

Dawna is very proud of her puppies and takes her job of keeping them clean seriously. Some evidence.....

Flipping and Snacking

Of course, other pups remind you that there are many ways to accomplish the same thing. Say, for instance, snacking...

A Moment of Zen

Dawna's pups want to remind everyone that, even amid the busyness of the day, there's always time to stop and chill out. Take a moment of Zen.

Everyone is snacking

The day after they were born, all of the pups enjoyed a snack.

A Second Litter Arrives - The Lively L's!

We're very pleased to announce the arrival of another litter of CCI pups. Dawna had her second litter on Wednesday, 2/2. The pups began to arrive in the late afternoon and were all delivered by mid-evening.

The sire is Kauffman, a yellow lab. He's a brand new breeder for CCI--this is his very first litter.

There are ten pups, seven boys (six yellow, one black) and three girls (two yellow, one black). They're the L litter. Names will arrive in several more weeks.

We'll also be posting updates about the F litter very soon.

And the daddy is.... Kauffman

Dawna's second litter was sired by Kauffman a brand new male breeder. He is a purebred yellow labrador retriever who is just a little younger than her, born in March of the same year.

We've learned that Kaufmann was out of Novell by Jaker. He was raised at Gadsen Correctional in FL. This will be his very first litter. We're still trying to contact his BC, and will post a picture of dad if we can.
