Fabulous! How many are ya keeping :dog:
The purpose of the breeding was to bring up a male too carry on the tradition. 2 have already made the short list as they are nicely marked but have too see how they develop. The owner of the stud wants 1 possibly 2. So eventually will have too start finding hunting homes for the rest.Quote:

Glad it all went well. I didn't want to say anything earlier , but things can go South during birthing time. Do you get her checked to make sure there are no dead pups inside?
Beautiful dog .congrats on the litter.
Congrats, have fun.
Nice markings. Seriously? This is how you choose a hunting dog?
The only thing I can't improve upon on a good bird dog is its look.Quote:

A dog with a good structure will hunt longer, better and have fewer chances of injuries.
Germans say - colour doesn't hunt! Colour is the LAST thing I look at.
finsfurfeathers congrats on the new litter of pups, i'm sure they will grow into excellent hunting dogs. Hope stella is doing well.
Pups developing well eyes are starting to open
