My 10 year old brother's dog was due to have puppies today, so he went out to check on her this morning, and sure enough she had 8 puppies.  Three of them died from the cold so we really only have 5.  She had them in her dog house and it was really COLD!  So we moved her and her puppies into the garage and put a heat lamp on them.  The mother dog's name is Sara.  She is a purebred Yellow Lab.  She was bred by a purebred Collie.  My brother was really upset when we found out she was pregnant, because he really wanted to get a purebred litter out of her.  Oh Well......   Anyway, the puppies are sooo cute!!!  I picked out the one I like the best.  It's brown with black spots.  We also have a couple black ones.  We aren't sure how we got black ones though.  We think a black dog bred her as well as the collie.  Or the black could come from the collie.  He has a little bit of black in him.  I'm posting some pictures of Sara and her puppies.

This is my favorite one.  Isn't it cute!?!?
