Twyla's first litter was born April 15, 2025.

All the pups are looking and acting healthy. So far they have all doubled their birth weight, and each day increase in weight. All the puppies are starting to attempt 4-legged walking. A few of them are getting it better than others so far. We have a great balance of 5 females and 6 males. We are excited for them to open their eyes soon.

Twyla has been able to enjoy longer breaks from her litter now. We weren't sure how she would react to Harlow, but the two are thick as thieves again, running around the yard and playing again. It's great to see.

MAY 12 UPDATE

The litter is growing! It has been so neat to watch them grow and develop so quickly. It seems like just last week they were starting to open their eyes, and now they are running and wrestling. They love to eat, play, nap and snuggle. Everything a litter of puppies could, they are. They bark at each other, do sneak attacks, and still pile on each other for nap time.

Twyla has been feeding still a few times a day, but she is enjoying being herself again and playing with Harlow. The pups are now eating softened kibble. We have dewormed them, and will continue to do so every 2 weeks. We will bring them into the vet in a few weeks for their vaccines and puppy wellness check. So far, we have one healthy litter.
