We are so pleased to say that, after keeping us hanging around a few days longer than we’d expected, Islay has delivered a very special singleton puppy, a little Easter Bunny. Bunny is a beautiful black bitch who has already stolen our hearts here. Being an only pup she was fairly big to start with but Islay’s care, attention and plentiful milk supply has meant that she is already well above her birth weight. We are so proud of Islay too who is just turning out to be the most attentive and careful of mothers. It was also lovely to see Granny Torsa in the whelping box supporting Islay and helping to clean both Islay and Bunny up
Easter Litter
Happy Easter
And yes, we’re still waiting……….
Still waiting!
I was hoping that Islay would wait until Thursday lunchtime to have her puppies, but its Friday and we’re all ready. They apparently are not however. We’re still waiting……..

Not long to go
Time to get the whelping box up! Islay (with more than a little help from her mum, Torsa) has been testing out some good digging spots in the garden. Hopefully there will still be some plants and garden left by the time our puppies arrive!
Easter Puppies
So delighted to say that our lovely Islay has been mated with the handsome Peter (Candidacasa Peanut) and that we are hoping for puppies around Easter. Peter’s father is a handsome liver boy and so Peter carries the liver gene. With Islay also being liver there is the potential for a mix of black and liver pups in this litter.
We were fortunate to be able to see some of Peter’s babies from an earlier litter before they went off to their new homes and they were just adorable and have really got us all at Craigachan anxious to have the patter of tiny puppy feet back in our home.
If you are interested in joining the waiting list for one of our puppies please get in touch with us at craigachan@gargunnock.com
2019 Puppy Plans
We are delighted to say that we are planning a litter of puppies this year from our beautiful Islay. Islay is 2 ½ now and is the most adorable, mad, energetic and totally typical flattie and we know she will be a fantastic mum. It is good to know that her mum, Torsa, will be on hand to offer her (and us) moral support throughout the process. Islay was so loving towards Torsa when she had her last litter of pups, we are looking forward to seeing how they both react when the positions are reversed.
If you are interested in a puppy from our lovely Islay, we are hoping, nature permitting, that they will be born around Easter and ready to go to their new homes at the beginning of the summer. Both parents have been appropriately health tested. Please get in touch with us for more information.
