So I have a breeder I adore. I've talked to her often since November, we chat on the phone like old friends. I've been waiting for a dark ****er pup.







I've waited for Oprah's litter since before she went into heat, and whined and whined all winter it was taking too long..







Last month she whelped NINE. She looked like she was preggo with a basketball. She was so packed she whelped 4 days earlier than the earliest expected due date, and had one stillborn. So she had 3 boys, 5 girls remaining. I wanted a boy..







Next day the 2 black boys passed.. and I was devastated.. Which had added to my month from hell.. nothing had gone right really.. All the girls were black, remaining boy was black with tan points. I'm not really a fan, so I shed some tears, and figured I was a year or so from what I wanted.







I woke up to pictures yesterday.. She never told me his tan points were so dark I can't really see them yet, and they will likely always be dark dark, unlike a traditional black and tan.







So I never bothered to tell my dad since I didn't think I had a possible puppy anymore.. I'm waiting to see he holds together as a show prospect potentially.. but oh dear I need to tell him and he will have kittens...
