After a year break Faith had her 3rd litter on 5/28/00.   

Here's the "R" litter when they were 2 days old on 5/30/00.        

"R" Litter Fact Chart     

 

This time the dad was Mandrake which is a Guide Dogs for the Blind sire.  Faith made it a story book delivery.  She woke me early on her due date to say, "yes, it will be today".  By the afternoon she was laying in the whelping pool all on her own.  Contractions started and I called Sarah, my whelping buddy.  The first puppy arrived at 5:30 pm and we were done by 8:15 pm. when the 6th puppy arrived.
