Choice is a 22 3/8" male, OFA Cardiac normal, CERF clear, BAER normal. Lydia is a 18 3/4" bitch, OFA Cardiac normal, CERF clear, BAER normal.

This litter has been whelped and raised by Lydia's owners in Kankakee, IL.

Pup 1 was coming tail first (rear feet folded up under him) and after 1 1/2 hrs of hard labor we opted to head to the ER vet. Thankfully the vet on call was a whippet person we all have known for quite some time, Lisa Costello, and we explained the situation to her. The pup had shown no signs of life from just before we headed to the vet and I requested he be pulled with forceps if possible, getting this pup out of the way to allow the others to come naturally. Unfortunately his tail was damaged but he, remarkably, was alive! While we can't prove it, Linda and I kind of think that the shock brought him back from the edge of death. So while his tail may hold him back from the ring, he's just as strong and active as everyone else!
