What do you think the puppy count is?
8.15.2024 Nellie goes to Best Retrievers.  Settling in at her old training facility.  She is now here to have her puppies. 

Best Retrievers will be whelping this litter since Jim will be having cervical spine surgery in Florida and I must be with my husband during this time.
