Three girls and three boys...

On Sunday March 18, Sheryl and I drove to see our friend and Bernese Mountain Dog breeder, Sharon Groves. A litter of six pups was born to Blossom (aka B2) on February 23. We saw them all Sunday; three girls and three boys.

They were all stunning; not a "bad" one out of the lot. Anyone of these little (it's all relative!) beasties would be a welcome addition to any home.

We made no hard and fast decisions that day. They had only begun stumbling about a few days before we saw them.

We'll be back to see them all on April 1 and likely will make our selection then. As most of you know, we're leaning towards a boy. I think Sheryl has the name narrowed down to four. I'll let you know what they are in a few days time.

Meanwhile, there is no smell quite like a new puppy's breath...

New addition to the Taylor family...

Sunday morning, Sheryl called our breeder, Sharon Groves, to inquire if the latest litter of puppies had been born.
On February 23, 2007, six pups were born; three boys and three girls. Mother and kids are doing just fine. One of the boys is earmarked for our home.
We'll be driving to see the brood in the next couple of weeks and will make our selection at that time.
All being well, by the end of April, we should have a new Berner boy in the house!
We are all very excited - including, I'm told by Sheryl, all the cats - except, perhaps for Merlin who is way too cool to have anything affect him.
So, watch this space in the coming weeks for more information and photographs.
