Winter 2022 - The Starfish Litter
November 7th 2022
Aster free-whelped a litter of 9 puppies. 5 boys and 4 girls. (I was hoping for 5 total!) She raised them with minimal assistance from me and was generally perfect throughout the process.
Puppies were raised in our home with puppy culture. They also traveled the 2 miles to work with me every day. We enjoyed a puppy party at 6 weeks of age with friends and puppy home families. The process was a lot of hard work and so much joy all at once.
All puppies were place in their homes at ~9.5 weeks of age with their first vaccines, DNA eye test for PRA, CAER exam, worming, microchip and AKC registration.
