Just saw this on FB.
Congrats! Will you be keeping them?
Pretty amazing especially with her age.
Was Jack the sire?

No ,in fact the father is MAX,Jack failed the two previous times ,so I gave Max a try.Line breeding of mother to son and father to daughter is not unusual and it can "fix" positive traits of the parents,but I would not do mother to grandson or father to granddaughter.I am tempted to keep both and see how they turn out as workers though and if they are "any good" join them to a good worker outside of our bloodlines..T.O.R.

Congrats on 2 healthy pups. Not usual to be whelping at 12 years of age, may explain why only 2... Mom looks quite pleased with herself. :)

Precious puppies. I hope they both grow up to be as good as their parents. Ruby did good!
