Hi, Here is a link to Esmee's little girl from the litter that I mentioned in posts during Christmas. It wasn't all smooth sailing. We almost lost her at about two weeks of age (I should have taken the advise of one list member and put Emme on antibiotics at birth after the mummy sibling puppy and all the mess with the pregnancy.).
She developed congestion. We put her on antibiotics at that time. She stopped nursing and had to be handfed for about a week. Actually, Wm. has handfed her from then on, but let her nurse if she wanted to. She started back nursing after about 10 days. Then we were afraid that Esmee's milk had dried up, but Emme got things flowing again. However, he still handfed her as well. She started eating from a bowl this week and gets the puppy food all over herself--- you can see some on her legs in the photos. In fact, she wants to make up for lost time and tries to eat everything. She had just stuffed her tummy before the photo session. Of course, she isn't perfect, but we are very pleased to have saved her after all the difficulties. The health pedigree and the conformation lines are very good and she's a cute little button even if she turns out to be a pet. However, considering the bloodlines behind her and the setbacks from the difficult pregnancy, she has a shot at coming along and being a nice one.
