>Hello All;
>
>Just a quick note to announce that our Chinook, Tullibardine Sparkle (bred
>naturally to Tullibardine Power), did deliver naturally today, from 1:45 PM
>thru 5:40 PM; 11 Chinook PUPS! Largest Tullibardine litter to date!
>(Topped our SW Mollyockett's litter of 9 sired by ND Ootah in 2000 !)
>
>Sparkle and pups resting comfortably this hour; so we're hoping she's ALL
>DONE DELIVERING ?! :), and we'll see how they all progress their first day.
>7 Males; 4 Females !
>9 Tawny Reds; 2 Tawny Silvers (both females) !
>
>Also another quick note to breeders: Sparkle delivered her first pup only
>an hour after her temp was last read at 99.4F ! First female that's ever
>whelped here before her temp dropped below 98.0F ! Good thing we'd been
>pretty much ready since Monday.
>
>Milestones for this litter then are (off the top of my very tired head);
>First Great Grand Pups of two of our kennel founders, Northdown Ootah X
>Perry Greene Natanis
>First Grand Pups of another of our kennel founders, Howlin Hills Fox Maule
>Ramsay
>First Grand Pups of Tullibardine Mustang
>First Pups sired by Tullibardine Power (dob 2.15.1999 - male leading line
>Power/Ootah/NW Nome)
>
>So please join us in welcoming Sparkle & Power's July 6th, 2005, Chinook
>litter! Jack's already referring to them as the Power Howlers, since they
>all came out practically singing! (Will see if it sticks :) Will get
>first pics and weights up on their litter page tomorrow.

>Sparkle is a miraculously natural mother, as were her dam, maternal grand
>dam and great grand dam. And as breeders know; It's always a pleasant
>surprise with a females' first litter to know how such valuable traits can
>and do seem to carry on down. Gives us more hope for the future, and a
>blessing all the way 'round.
