20.07.2014	Time flies..... The puppies still develops very well, and they are convinced, that the whole world is made for them ;-) 7 weeks old their weight was 5,6 to 5,9 kilo. All 3 are quite similar in character. Very free, curious and selfsecure. Oliver and Ottira are still looking for their own families. Oliver is a great guy with a wellbalanced character, and he is very cooperative (he already does a "high five"). He is very loving and sweet. He has an amazing body - short and wellshaped. Ottira is a nice and feminine female with a wellbalanced character. She is very willing to cooperate. She is loving and affectionate. She is slightly long in body, which is absolutely not bad for a female. New pictures here
15.07.2014	The puppies are really keeping us busy now ;-) They play and explore the world. The meet everything with confidence - visitors, new places, new things - they greet everything with an open mind. New pictures here
10.07.2014	Results from the laboratory has arrived, and everything is normal. Which excludes herpes being the cause for the death of some of the puppies. So the health of the remaining 3 puppies is no different from other puppies, where birth etc. has been normal.

23.06.2014	Puppies are eating well. They were not so happy about getting dewormed ;-) New pictures here
21.06.2014	We have now been in contact with lots of veterinarians and specialists (including Birgitte Schjøth, Canicold), and it turns out, that it most likely was NOT herpes, that caused the death of our puppies shortly after the birth. The cause is more likely the fact, that they were born 6 days too early, and the further burden from the caesarian. We are still waiting for answers of the last tests from the laboratory. As soon as they arrive, the results will be published here in the diary.

07.06.2014	Puppies and Regina are doing well. They eat well and look good. Puppies are behaving just like they should, and Regina is taking good care of them. We are trying to find out, if there is a way to test the puppies, so we know for sure, if they are infected with herpes, or if there has been other reasons causing the death of the other puppies.
03.06.2014	During the last week we have lost 3 of the babies :-( Our veterinarian and other experienced breeders are guessing, it might be an infection with herpes. We are hoping, that the last 3 puppies will survive. They look nice, and Regina is taking very good care of them.
	It was a dramatic birth 6 days too early. The first puppy was born tuesday at 22:10. Then the birth stopped. The vet came and injected something to stimulate the contractions, and then Regina gave birth to 2 more puppies during the night, but the last one was dead by birth. Then the birth stopped again, and wednesday morning we decided to get the last puppies out by c-section. Puppies looked fine, and there was no reason to worry. But 2 of the puppies died very suddenly without warning on friday. Further 1 puppy had become weak. We succeeded in keeping her alive until sunday, and at times it seemed quite allright. But she gave up sunday at noon. The remaining 3 puppies (1 male and 2 females) look good, are eating well and behave like puppies should at that age. This experience has been very hard for us, and that´s why the story is published a week after the birth.
