Week 3



We are now three weeks along, and the fun is beginning to start! This week the puppies went from wobbling to walking, and the are now stable (except when Scudder accidentally knocks one over) and gaining speed. All the puppies look healthy and are continuing to grow. Along with growing, each puppy is developing a personality, and all the puppies are beginning to speak.

I included a picture of the puppies dad (Gunner) and mom (Scudder) in this post. Gunnar's dad is Elk River's Hot Frankie, a multiple AKC Hunting Test Title Holder, including Master Hunter! Coming from a great hunting line, these pups will make excellent hunters, or great lovable family dogs. Reserve your puppy today. Contact Troy for more information at troythetechguy@gmail.com

2 Weeks


We are officially at the 2 week mark today! Just yesterday, some of the puppies started to open their eyes. I also noticed a few of the puppies are starting to walk, but only make it a few steps before falling down. All the puppies are doing well, and there does not appear to be a "runt of the litter".

Yesterday, I moved Scudder and the puppies to the garage. I added another story to their whelping box so as they get bigger they'll remain confined to their area.

Scudder is still doing great with the pups, and continues to like more and more time away from the puppies.

As the pups are now only 6 weeks away from their departure date, be sure to reserve your pick of the litter today. Contact Troy at troythetechguy@gmail.com for more information and to reserve your puppy.

1 Week


It is now 1 week since Scudder had her puppies. As you can see from this picture, being a mother is exhausting work! Scudder is doing a great job, and is at the point where she enjoys some time away from the pups - or as I say, some adult interaction.

All the puppies are growing rapidly and gaining a fair amount of weight. Although the puppies are easy to take care of right now, I have my work cut out for me in the coming weeks as the puppies learn how to walk and yip!

Day 2


Scudder has the pups all cleaned up. She is a good mommy, and is taking good care of the puppies. All 9 seem to be doing well!

They arrived


Last night was a sleep deprived night for both Scudder and myself. Scudder started labor around 8:00pm, and finally at 7:30am, Scudder dropped the first of 9 puppies! At 11:00am, Scudder finally dropped her last puppy. We have a great variety of black and yellow labs, 6 females and 3 males. Mom and puppies are doing great and everyone is getting acquainted. Let us know ASAP if you are interested in a puppy, these cute little puppies are sure to go fast!
