Litter out of Gala by Aragorn born 18 March 2010

Background

You can read more about both parents on their pages, but briefly, Aragorn has a great pedigree (his sire is Sh Ch Caristan Moet Chandon JW and his dam, Miraje Dallas Dreamer, has two CCs) so is most definitely from show lines. But as his agility and obedience titles show, he is a very workable dog — the most talented I've ever had! He is working Grade 6 in agility, and A and B obedience. Gala is Grade 4 in agility (she could be Grade 5 on points, but I do like my dogs to win out to gain experience) and has done very well in the show ring, being qualified for Crufts for life with a stud book number, and now also has her American Championship.

Puppy at eight weeks

Puppy at seven weeks

We've found him a playmate! A little 11 week old Corgi pup's come to visit a friend, so our little guy's finally getting to play with a puppy. She's not quite as excited about seeing another puppy — she grew up with siblings...

Puppy at six weeks

Now the weather's better, the little pup's getting to go outside — because he has no siblings, we're making sure that he's getting plenty of interaction with the adult dogs. He's definitely enjoying the outside world!

Puppy at five weeks

Puppy at four weeks

Puppy at two weeks

Puppy at one week

Birth

We had an x-ray done, which showed only one large puppy. We therefore knew that a c-section was very likely, and when Gala's temp was down for a day with no labour, we took her in (her progesterone levels were very low). An hour later, we had a puppy!
