Lucinda and Woody puppies, our "Dark Side Of The Moon" Litter, were born on Wednesday, April 22, 2026. Lucinda had five puppies, two females and three males.
This is an exceptional repeat breeding and will be Lucinda's last litter. The stars had to align for this litter to be. Lucinda was scheduled to be spayed on Dec. 15, 2025 but she developed a cough and so her surgery was cancelled. The inquiries came in for long coated puppies, so maybe it was meant to be!
Some puppies will have a short, smooth coat like Lucinda and some will have a longer, soft coat like Woody. Lucinda carries the recessive gene for the long coat. We will know coat length when the puppies are two weeks old.
Tails will NOT be docked, dew claws will NOT be removed. Puppies will be properly dewormed with Panacur C (fenbendazole). These puppies will be ready to go to their new homes at 8 weeks old on June 17, 2026.
***NEXT PORTRAIT PHOTOS WILL POST AT FOUR WEEK OLD ON MAY 20th***
