Chloe x Fritz 2010 Puppy
These are pictures of what Taylor's puppies will look like!
UPDATE Dec. 27th
I'm deeply saddened to say Taylor is not expecting puppies. We just returned from getting an ultrasound completed. Unfortunately we have no puppies! She either did not take in breeding or has lost the litter. I do plan on repeating this breeding in May 2012. I do have another litter planned from M.E. and Fritz. M.E. (pronounced Emmy) is due to come into heat soon. Puppies should arrive in April. I know this is such a disappointment to many of you as it was for me (I was keeping a puppy myself!). :-( I will move all deposits to M.E.'s litter. If you cannot wait please let me know and we can discuss other plans.
