Nine little blessings!

Author: Niamh Daly
Date: Sunday 11 July, 2010

3 black and 2 golden pups suckling on their mum KeelyThanks to our caring Volunteer Breeding Stock Holders, Clare and Darragh Kennedy, these photographs were circulated to our staff and everyone's hearts just melted at the sight of these little blessings.  Born to stud dog Quaser and broodbitch Keely, these delightful Labrador x Golden Retrievers pups were 12 days old at the time these photographs were taken. 

There are 9 pups in the litter of which 6 are male and 3 are female.  This is the second litter born in the care of the Kennedy family in Dunmayway.  The Kennedy's teenage daugther Lauren also lends a hand in caring for the newborn pups until such time as they come to the Training Centre at the age of six weeks. 

Thank you for the lovely photographs - they made our day here at the Training Centre!
