Very good news from Tallivahdin kennel! Mango got today 10 puppies and Tallivahdin kennel got our first black hovis. And not just coule of them - there were 8 black ones! New Tallivahdin G-puppies are 5 black bitches, 3 black males and 2 black and tan bitches. VERY MANY CONGRATULATIONS TO THEIR GREAT PARENTS MANGO AND JAMES FROM GERMANY! OUR LOVELY HOLIDAY IN SAUERLAND WAS AGAIN A GREAT SUCCESS!

G-puppies are extrenmely well developed, strong and lively. Their weight together is about 6 kg! Average weight of born was about 600g and variance was 530-618g. Mango made here a new puppy-wight-record of Tallivahdin and that is not easy to do! We have had so big litters and our average puppy size is now 9 puppies per litter in 6 litters. Mango looked very big as I told you but as she is smaller than our Sissi who was the mother of Tallivahdin F-puppies we just thought that she just looks big because of that. But now we realize that she really was HUGE for good reason!

Mango´s first puppy a black bitch was born at 8.19 o´clock in the morning. And rather soon 5 of them were born. After the 7th puppy Mili´s husbad Heikki and daughter Jenni cameo for coffee and champagne. After this break we tried to calculate the amount of puppies but only when Mango stood up we noticed that there were indeed already 8 of them!

Mango continued to have birth symptoms and we could feel at least one puppie in her stomach. The nineth puppy was born cuople of hours after the 8th. Then we thought again that this was it and went upstairs to eat. When we came back after a half an hour there were one black bitch more. And that was the last on. Clock was about 18.15 when tha last one was born.  

Mili and I had a very joyful and satisfied feeling the whole long day! G-litter were cheered with two bottles of champagne with our families. This is really a good time to remember together!

Because there are so many lovely puppies we would need couple of good new hovi-homes!
