……. and then there
were four more
Echo Bouviers is pleased to
welcome three little brindle bitches and a handsome
<you tell me what color he will be!> boy.
The puppies arrived July 15,
2000, a repeat breeding of the litter we enjoyed so much three years ago.
Chevelle has been a terrific mommadawg again, keeping all those little tummies
well filled, and faces and fannies clean, and Sam is just hoping they’ll grow
up faster so he can get them to chase him and play.
Scooter has again
volunteered to be the honorary Bouvier Big Brother to the little ones… I think he’s hoping that some of the new
puppy toys will trickle down to him soon.
Puppies weighed in at 14,
16, 16, and 21 (!) ounces, and they have not stopped growing since.
This litter, like the last
one, was bred with good health and proper structure and temperament in
mind. Both Sam and Chevelle hold OFA
certifications for Hips (Good), Elbows, Thyroid, and Cardiac (renewed November
1998), and both have passed CERF exams within the last year as well. Puppies
from the previous litter have also had genetic health screening done.
