The Kingridge 2016 Winter Litter Has Arrived

What an intense 24 hours! Annie labored beautifully from 11:00 last night until 7:00 this morning. After a long sleepless night, she eventually ran out of steam. We went to the vet's for a little help, because of the slow progress. 

We knew that there was the potential for a C-Section to help save as many pups as possible. Ultimately, we did not need to have surgery, but 2 puppies were lost. It was so sad, but we are elated with the 6 beautiful newborn Labradors that we welcomed into this world during these past 14 hours. 

It was a very intense and prolonged labor, and I know Annie and I are definitely ready for some much needed rest. I will be posting more details about the puppies in this litter after I take a long sweet rewarding nap... Just like mama Annie. She deserves it! She did an absolutely stellar job, and is the sweetest mom I have ever seen. Praise God for beautiful healthy pups!
