April 1, 2026: Happy Birthdays and Fiona’s puppies

Happy Birthday to the following Sandhills Scotties:

Fiona and puppies are doing well.  I have added Velcro collars.

After I took this picture, I removed Fiona from the room and readjusted collars on the puppies.  The males are in the green and blue collars.  I have not put a collar on the wheaten yet.  The black female is in the pink collar.  They will get their dew claws removed on Friday.

March 30, 2026: Fiona has had her puppies

Fiona whelped two black males, one black female, and one wheaten female.  All potential people have been contacted.  Two more litters to come.  Mom and puppies are doing well.

March 24, 2026: Update

Fiona is huge.  She is going to get her belly shaved tomorrow.  I have two very large wooden and steel crates beside both sides of the bed.  They are even large enough for a bed which I have in them.  They are used in case the pregnant girls have their babies in the middle of the night.  Since Fiona is due around Monday, I will put her in the crate while I take a couple of Scotties for their grooming.  It will keep her safe and at the same time she will not feel so crammed in the crate.  Raven gets her grooming tomorrow along with Bagpiper.

March 11, 2026: Pedigree of future puppies

Below is a picture of the pedigree of the puppies I intend on getting through shipped frozen semen and Artificial Insemination process.  I am very excited.  I may use two females since the pedigree is so fantastic.  I plan to keep a male and a female.

The sire is out of GCHP Woburn Barbary Iron Man pictured below:
