Tam is AWESOME!!

We just got back from getting her "pre-whelp" x-ray. This is used to get a pretty good count of the litter size. All along, ever since Tamlyn became a breeder, we've looked her in her very intense eyes and said "Six to eight, Tam, six to eight". It's our understanding that Tam's mom Tiffi had pretty large litters, and being first time breeder caretakers, it was pretty daunting to think about caring for 11 to 14 or so puppies... So, Tam, six to eight...

After her xray, the vet returned to review them with us. To quote her "I can count six but there may be as many as eight." What an AWESOME dog!! Of course, only the whelp will tell for sure but the vet was certain that this was not a really large litter.
