CONGRATULATIONS to two tired but triumphant people and one heck of a fine
Chinook brood bitch! Give her a juicy treat and tell her it's from
Jeffrey, will you, and thank her for such an auspicious FIRST I. S. A.
CHINOOK LITTER in this our founding year. And keep the goodies going her
way fast and hard, 'cause Sparkle-Plenty's gonna have a very big job
running the dairy for that mob!

Very best wishes to all!
Jeffrey Bragg

> 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

> 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.
