Bluestem Kennels

Wednesday, March 11 and Thursday, March 12 were a busy time for Aaron and I!  Velma (De Jac Pine’s Zip-A-Dee-Do-Dah) had 8 pups on Wednesday: 5 males, 3 females.  One of the males was odd and was lost a week later.  So, the surviving litter is 4 males, 3 females.  BB (Bourg-Royal’s CB Bluestem) had 11 puppies: 10 females and 1 male.  That brings the total between the two litters to 5 males and 14 females.  At this time, all of the puppies are spoken for.

Here are a couple of videos that we took of the litters during their first week of life:

Here are some birthday shots from 3-year-old TracHer in North Dakota that belongs to Susan and Tom.

In closure

The puppies will be two weeks old mid-week.  Velma and her puppies will move over to our house on Friday for the duration of the puppy period, so it will be a fun puppy land!  I will try to get an update posted on Sunday.  Catch you then!
