No, this was not an accidental breeding.  But Kallie did surprise us by whelping a week earlier than I anticipated.  This was a bookkeeping mistake on my part.  I wrote down the wrong dates for her whelping.  So, a week early, Kallie did what she was supposed to do, right on time.  This was a lesson to me on the importance of keeping accurate records.  Congratulations also to Jacque Schatz on her Percy litter born a week later.  I mixed up the breeding dates on the two bitches!

Kallie with her first litter of puppies.  All five are brindles, one girl is very small.  Kallie looks very good after her surprise delivery.

This is shortly after the last puppy was delivered. The small girl is back by mom's back foot. All puppies are marked nicely -- although some have very little white on their necks.
