The New Babies

Well I have been rather naughty at not updating the blog with the news of Tiia's new litter, of five all born easily on 2/8/13, two girls and three boys, to proud dad, Multi Ch Elbereth Matkamies ShCM.

The puppies were whelped by Jayne, son Elliot and friend Linda, and as the puppies arrived they were christened consecutive days of the week, starting with Friday - the day they were all actually born!

Week Three photos 

Friday  (Black tri ♂)
Friday is a very striking boy - with lots of white markings, his tan face marking are really developing.

Saturday (wolf sable ♀)

Saturday is the only wolf sable puppy in the litter, and is a girl who has stolen Jayne's heart so will be staying with mum Tiia.  She looks very similar in markings to her dad, maybe a little darker in her base colour.

Sunday (Black tri ♀)
Sunday is the second girl, who looks most like her mum, darker in colouring but with very large tan cheeks developing.  

Monday (Black tri ♂)
Monday is the 4th born and heaviest puppy, lots of tan developing to make him a striking boy.

Tuesday (Black tri ♂)
The last born is another boy, similarly marked to Monday but with a noticeable while left front leg, and white tips on all feet.

Summer Puppies - fingers crossed

Exciting news today - Elbereth Tiia is in whelp to E Matkamies and puppies due possibly around 1st August.  Tiia is a lovely girl, from an exciting mating of E Taru at Pavoskas to Multi Ch Lumiturpa Otso and Matka's first litter are already showing great promise in the show ring and at home as loveable companions.

Tiia has only been shown lightly but has many wins including RBB at the Southern Finnish Lapphund Society shows in 2011 and 2012.

"Sam the scan" says five puppies!

Week Three Update

I have been so busy over last couple of weeks - with pups and getting the Guildford show ready and run, so apologies for lack of updates on the Taru x Otso pups. Hope these new photos make the wait worth while. The pups are developing fast - moving about a lot - playing and mouthing each other and now showing an interest in the toys in their puppy pen, Taru makes me laugh by joining in their games - she nuzzles then with her nose and pushes them over - to encourage them to come back for more!

Bitch 1
You can see the tan developing on her face, and the cute white chin! She does look like she has dipped her left paw and tail in a white paint pot!













Bitch 2
There is a little tan coming through on her face but its not very easy to see in photos. She too has a little white chin!












Dog
The boy has a lot of tan on his face, like his mum its seems quite rich at present but as ever with our breed its never easy to tell what the colouring as adults will actually be at this young an age as they change so much.













Bitch 3
like the boy - is heavily marked on the face and reminds me of Uncle Kimmi at this age with the quizzical eye brows.
