Leila delivered 7 beautiful puppies on Friday evening, Feb. 12, 2010. Sadly, one of the puppies had a severe intestinal defect and she passed away shortly after birth. She lived long enough to cuddle with her mama and even nurse briefly. This is a new experience for me and my family and it was heartbreaking. But, the other puppies are doing fantastic and they are strong and active. All of them have gained weight already and Leila is being a wonderful mom! We have 4 girls and 2 boys. One cream boy and one rare phantom boy. Three black girls and one rare phantom girl. Leila is phantom herself and I am glad she passed that gene onto two of her babies. Phantom coloring is rare in doodles and so very pretty and unique. Surprisingly, we did not get any red puppies this time. I will post pictures often as the babies grow!
