Boxing Day was the traditional time of exchanging presents and Bess decided to present us with her puppies.Maybe a bit late in the day at 10pm She had 8 puppies in 4 hours -producing 5 girls and 3 boys. We took it in turns to sit up with her and Jack fixed another heat lamp up for them as it is still dreadfully cold here. This is the first time Bess has had pups and is quite the proud mother. It doesn't seem 2 years since she was a pup herself. Her lineage is that her sire is FTCH Tasco Monk of Mansengreen and dam Drakeshead Nougat out of FTCH Drakeshead Treacle and by FTCH Broadlaw Elder of Laggengill. The father of the pups is Billy Steels snr FTCH Leadburn Viceroy who was the top dog in Scotland last year and runner-up in the IGL2008. Here you see the pups with mum around 9 hours old.
