Pearl was picked up as a stray in December and was heavily pregnant. No microchip and nobody to claim her, so we were asked if we could help. Pearl is quite nervous when meeting new people and we suspect she has had a good hiding at some stage, but once she realises you mean her no harm, she is a sweetheart. She likes her space from other dogs but no issues with them at all. Has totally ignored the horses in the field next door as well.
On the 22nd December Pearl gave birth to 11 puppies, 4 boys and 7 girls. Sadly one little girl was not breathing and despite getting her started and suckling, she passed over Rainbow Bridge just over 24 hours later.
Pearl is a GSD but not knowing what dad was we did a DNA sample on one of the girls which came back as:
56% GSD, 29% Belgian Mali, 7% Border Collie and 6% Greyhound.
The pups are all confident and tear around the place causing bedlam as you would expect. They do all like a snuggle though as well.
The pups will need homes that have some experience of the main breed at least as they will need plenty of exercise and mental stimulation as they get older.
Special homes for special pups.
Star has been adopted.
