More to come . . .I hope no more to come – 8 is enough, but we’ll see what happens through the night!

Mom is doing well and so are pups – the minute they deliver they are looking for milk!  Pictures to follow once all pups are delivered. 

Arla is doing great and what a super mom.  She just takes everything in stride.  As I was coming to tuck her in for the night and change her bedding, out popped another puppy.  I hope she can relax now for the night.  She has had a hard day indeed!  Bless her heart.  Couldn’t have had a better way to spend Father’s Day!

We are now into Monday – Now at 9 puppies – my goodness that is plenty!  All healthy and all vigorous!  I can’t believe it.  I hope this is the last puppy I have to post for the night!  Arla is tired, but she is a tough gal!

The other dogs have been peaking over the barrier all day.    I wonder if they know little ones will be running around the house soon!

Kleinen Wiese – “D” Litter – June 2009

Posted By Sandy Wilson on May 16, 2009

This June we will be expecting our fourth litter of puppies here at Little Meadow Sheep Farm.  The dam of this litter is Arla von der Kleinen Wiese and the sire is Hawk v. Eichenluft (Vom Rokanhaus German Shepherds).   Arla had her ultrasound today and she is pregnant!  Hurray!

She should have puppies towards the middle of June and we are very excited about this litter.  My son is hoping to keep a puppy for Search and Rescue work and of course, it will have to be a dog that will work the sheep too!

We are very excited to have had the opportunity to breed our Arla to Hawk.  Sincere thanks to Kandi and Hawk!   I can’t thank Kandi and Hawk enough for all their help!  We’ll keep you posted!

See the puppies!
