The puppies are pictured at 5 weeks of age. Mossy is on the left and
loves attention. Stanley, on the right, would rather be running around
searching for something new. Keo always wants to be next to me, and
when he looks at you it's like he saying "I will do whatever you want, can
we retrieve?" |

The
sonogram is pictured to the left that verifies the pregnancy and the puppies are
big. Mariah is doing well, her appetite is very good, loves the
treats and extra food. Being more spoiled in the house each day.
Click on the picture to see it larger. There is a possibility of some
yellow puppies in this litter, as Mariah is a third-generation labrador in our
kennel. Inquiries now are for a reserve list until we know the exact color
of the puppies, due to Puddles having a false pregnancy.
