Xena's Pups

 

Bubba’s on the way

Fenrir and I did the deed when I was 2½ years of age. Dad ensured I had a very healthy gestation period in which I was still very active towards the later stages. Here’s a picture of me, Fenrir and Dad lazing back a few days before I whelped.

At last I was a proud mum!

The greatest achievement of my life would have to be having my bubba’s. I believe being a mature mum helped me to whelp more easily and to be a good mum all round. I am proud to say that I now have 7 strong and healthy pups, 2 males and 5 females, 5 whom are with caring new owners and 2, Jarl and Fionn, remained a part of our family.

My daughter Fionn

Mum and Dad decided to keep two of my pups which Fenrir and I were thrilled with. Fionn was always a strong girl from birth and she was still feeding from me here at 10 weeks of age. 4 weeks after that I was back in the show ring in pristine condition – look out Elle MacPherson here I come!

 

My son Jarl

Jarl was a very quiet boy as a pup, a real sleeper in fact he was hardly ever awake.The other kids used to bully him a bit coz he was small and a big softie but he has grown to be quite a lad and can now keep up with us at the best of times. He’s still a sleeper and a big softie but I wouldn’t have him any other way.
