Hello Everyone,

I am proud to announce the arrival of an exceptional litter at Rufnit Kennels. A litter of 13, which includes puppies with naturally short tails. They were born August 1, 2007.

The next few weeks will be busy!!

Only 4 male ! You're lucky ! Are you sure Karamel is fawn ? We can't see that just on a photo. For me, she seem to be the best head, and whith no spot, it's the best ! She remember me his granmother when she was just 2 days old, the same.
Happy mum Shari !

Marc,

I'm assuming that Karamel is a fawn due to her skin being "pinker" than the rest of the litter...more like my fawns usually start out. I should be able to tell more in a week or so!

Very nice video. You always put a lot of stuff online, this is very interresting to see their different behaviours, even when they are so young.
And you can see the different lenght of natural short tails.

Tres belle video. Tu mets toujours pleins de chose en ligne, c'est tres interressant de voir leurs differentes attitudes, meme quand ils sont si jeunes.
Et on peut voir les differentes longueurs des queue courtes naturelles.

I was a little concerned with such a large litter, but Valencia was an excellent mother.

They are beginning to join their new families. As always, I'm looking forward to hearing how their puppies develop into family and hunting companions!

It's quite exeptional to see such a large litter growing without problem. And they seem to be nice pups too, according to the standard. The short tails isthe cherry on the cake...
