week one- minus a day!

 I will be offline for the weekend so the week one update is a day early!  The pups are 6 days old but doing great and growing fast.

 I love the wavy hair on baby water spaniels!

 Faethe multitasks- feeding babies and playing with her duck 

 The pups sprawled out on a nice warm day

 Faethe's pups are here!  The dam, Faethe, is exceptionally sweet, obedient and a great bird dog.  I am very excited about these pups

 The sire, Joey, is also super sweet and is one leg away from becoming the first Irish Water Spaniel to earn the Master Hunter title!

 Joey loved Faethe right away!

 The 8 little rascals are here!  6 males and 2 females- all healthy and vigerous

 Faethe is a great mom and takes good care of her pups

I would not even be able to find the pups if they were not wearing rick-rack!

 Good girl faethe, cleaning puppy butts
