RAISIN X TEMPO PUPPIES: The Birth Story -

 

MACH2 ADCH Comebye Raisin CDX MXF x OffOn Up The Tempo puppies arrived on March 13, 2011. If interested, please contact me at LWKipp@aol.com or 505-866-1724.

Tempo is a youngster, born 4-14-10. I have always felt that he would complement Raisin nicely and planned to breed them in the fall or next spring when Tempo was more mature. However, with Raisin's almost silent seasons and Tempo's adolescent enthusiasm, they managed to "tie the knot" ahead of schedule! At any rate, I am delighted with this breeding. Their beautiful puppies are full of health, vigor, and promise! It will be exciting to watch them grow and develop.

March 11, 2010 - Raisin was restless last night and rearranged the bedding in her whelping box.

On the morning of March 12, Raisin's temperature dropped to 97.7 F and stayed low all day. We are expecting her to deliver during the next 24 hours!

"BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL!"

On Sunday, March 13, beginning at about 5:30 AM, Raisin gave birth to four beautiful healthy puppies, three girls and one boy. All of them are very dark. They are mostly black with white blazes, white muzzles, white feet, white tail tip, and white bellies. They are all marked very much like Raisin except that three of them have varying amounts of white on the backs of their necks. Since they are all mostly black, the theme of this litter is "BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL". They are all named after famous black musicians, since their father, Tempo, has a musical name.

Puppy #1 (female) - Diana - 12.2 oz. (small white streak on back of neck)

Puppy #2 (female) - Aretha - 11.8 oz. (no white on back of neck)

Puppy #3 (female) - Lena - 9.5 oz. (small round white spot on back of neck)

Puppy #4 (male) - Wynton - 11.5 oz. (largest amount of white on back of neck and longer white socks on legs)
