Tessa's newborn puppies.

Two females and four males.

December 16, 2011 - Tessa has had her puppies!  She has 2 females and 4 males.  All of the puppies are light yellow to ivory in coloring. This is Tessa's second litter and she has proven to be a good mama. Her puppies are all drinking well and starting to fill out.

The father of the puppies is our male, Magnum.  He is pictured below.

We bought Tessa and her sister, Dixi when they were seven weeks old.  We were impressed with their personalities, their good looks, and their pedigrees.  Below is a link to some information on one of Tessa's grandfathers, an AKC National Field Champ.

January 1 - Tessa's puppies are 2 weeks old now and have their eyes open.  They had their dew claws removed at 2 days old.  They were wormed this week with Nemex dewormer to prevent parasites which are common in puppies.  We will worm them every two weeks while they are here.  They will visit our veterinarian when they are six weeks old to have a "well-puppy" check.  They also receive their first set of puppy vaccinations at this time.  Right now, one of the males is reserved.

January 23 - Tessa's puppies are 5 and a half weeks old already.  They have been weaned and are eating "Purina Puppy Chow".  They are all growing nicley and have found life without mom is just fine!  They will be seen by our vet in a few days for a "well-puppy check". 

Feb 7 - All of Tessa's puppies are now spoken for.  We hope to have a new litter of yellow lab puppies this summer from Dixi - Tessa's sister.

This is our male - Magnum Force in MN.

We just call him Magnum!

This is Magnum, our lovable male Ivory Labrador Retriever.  He is seven years old now and has a wonderful personality.  Magnum weighs about 80 pounds.  He is dual registered with AKC and APR. 
Magnum was certified with OFA in December of 2006.  His score came back as "Excellent", which is the top score given and is rather rare. We are so proud of him!
Magnum loves to run and play.  He has a beautiful coat and handsome frame with a nice square head.  Let us know if you have any questions about him.  We can provide a copy of his pedigree and OFA standings if you are interested.
