Proud Papa
This is our third Cim vom Gotzweiher SchIII H3 litter (Bee's second, and her mother Otter was also bred to Cim vom Gotzweiher SchIII H3), and we are very pleased indeed with what he has brought to our girls. Thanks, Cim vom Gotzweiher SchIII H3! |

BEFORE the romance
Bee shown in her usual girlish trim, long before her tryst with Cim vom Gotzweiher SchIII H3 |
|
|
|
Oversize Load
Bee wanted (and got!) plenty of loving from her favorite person, John, especially as her ground clearance began to disappear. |
|
|
|
Quick, Robin - to the Bee Cave!
Bee decided she needed a "cave" so a few well placed blankets over the whelping box made her happy. |
|
|
|
Waiting is hard work
Bee found the waiting for the big event as hard as we did. |
|
|
|
FINALLY!
Bee and the first pup |
|
|
|
Four generations
Great-grandmother Hawks Hunt's Carson (age 14.5+) gets a look at the first pup - her second litter of great-grandkids! |
|
|
|
|
|
Glad to meet you!
We are never less than amazed at how wonderful it is to hold newborn pups in our hands |
|
|
|
Pleased Mom
Bee's quite glad to have at least some of her kids out where she can see them |
|
|
|
The Mighty Mouse
The 9th puppy born, Mighty surprised us by weighing only 10 ounces. Before we began to worry about her size, she got down to business, and four minutes after being born, was nursing! Nothing except size is small about this girl! |
|
|
|
Almost finished
Bee and 9 pups. We were not certain that there was one more to go, palpation seemed to show it, but Bee needed a rest and then about an hour after this photo, popped out the last one - a big sable F. |
|
|
|
Two days old
Three pups snoozing contentedly |
|
|
|
Five pups feeding
Bee is expert at figuring out how to feed all 10, and at this age, five fit easily! |
|
|
|
Bee & Sneakers
Little Sneakers is a standout - big mouth, big plans, big energy |
|
|
|
|
|
Little Sneakers
Built like a - well, you know... |
|
|
|
Black pup
There are 3 blacks in this litter - 2 M, 1 F. A sweet surprise since we've only had 1 other black in 25 years! |
|
|
|
Bee & the 10 little Indians
Shown at 2 days old, all 10 still fit fairly comfortably |
|
|
|
Meal time is the best time!
Nursing Pup shown at 10 days old |

Sneakers sleeping
This puppy is a character - shown her with her sister Jet. |
|
|
|
Sleeping Beauties
2 sable pups asleep nose to nose 1/13/04 |
|
|
|
All Ten
Shown at 10 days old, these 10 are taking up a lot more room these days! |
|
|
|
|
|
Black male
Pups are assigned "puppy nicknames" as ideas or names occur to us. This handsome black boy hasn't yet told us who he is. |
|
|
|
Bruiser
He's just a bruiser - big, handsome guy. |
|
|
|
Dash
A smaller, very dark sable male with a cute white dash on his chest |
|
|
|
Jet
The only black female, Jet is already notably sweet |
|
|
|
Mellow Mel
The other black male, Mel is a mellow guy (at least at this point!) |
|
|
|
Mighty
Small but mighty, she is proving herself one tough pup who doesn't let her size stop her from anything! |
|
|
|
Sable male
Another guy who hasn't yet clued us in to his name |
|
|
|
|
|
Sneaker
One chunky monkey! |
|
|
|
Solo
Unusual in that he's the only black & tan, which used to be the predominate color in our litters. Magnificent head - what a hunk this pup is! |
|
|
|
Sugar/Sweetie
Sounds corny, but this girl needs a name that reflects just how sweet she is. |
