Litterbox
We occasionally produce a litter of Great Dane Puppies.
All our dogs (and the dogs we use in our breeding program) have
exceptional conformation, health and temperament.

Reggie had her first litter today! The first two (both harlequin -
one boy and one girl) were born in the late afternoon. The third
(mantle - girl) had to be removed via cesarian the next morning because
Reggie's contractions ceased. We assumed the puppy was dead, but
to our incredible delight she was alive and is a fighter. She
continues to keep up with the other two in growth daily.

Welcome to life! Male (left), female (right). Mom and two harlequins shortly after birth. The mantle girl born the following morning via cesarian. Thank you Dr. Jones for bringing me to life! Aren't we simply precious?! Mom makes a great camouflage.

Ice was bred a second time and gave birth today to five boys and one
girl, all fawn. She was bred to the same male we used for the
February singleton puppy. The next day she was bred to the 2006
Stud Dog of the Year (the February puppy's grandfather!) The
puppies have been DNAd and now we have to await the results for six to
eight weeks to know who the father of each of the puppies is.
Below are photos of the litter.

It's not time to get up yet! Pre-op: Ice with Brenda, employee of Dr. Jones (our veterinarian), and Brian Pre-op: The anesthesia is kicking in and quick! Brenda, Brian and Mrs. Dr. Jones (Sherry!) Pre-op: Nothing like a good haircut! Dr. Jones hard at work welcoming Ice's newborn into the world. It's a brindle and it's a boy! Post-op: What a heartbeat! Sherry, Brenda, and Loren worked very diligently and were persistent in getting "little man" to breathe. Post-op: Mom and son meeting for the first time, albeit mom was still rather woozie! Another mom and son moment. Back at home: Mother, son and great-grandpa Loren in the whelping box. Back at home: Mom and son resting.
