In all our years of breeding, this is a first, all boys and not a little girl to be seen, but Tia is happy and the pups well, and that's all that really matters. Tia has always been a good Mum, although somewhat messy. She likes to tip over her food dish, and scratch up all her bedding so she can bury the food under it. This is only natural, as she's only thinking of protecting it form predators, and although you may not think of the rest of the Gang as being predators, they're not adverse to nicking food from
each other.

Neve has taken
a keen interest in Tia
and her pups, and seems to have picked up on this practice, she hadn't
been doing the digging up and scratching routine, but has started to do it now. Going to have to have a word in that Tia's ear, and tell her we're not in the wild now, so stop teaching Neve bad habits. Never mind though, it's only a little more work cleaning and clearing up after them, and at the end of the day, it's all part of the fun, and the experience of rearing a litter of pups, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
Don't now why the girls bother to ask Ryly to give a helping hand, and keep an eye out for all his little boys and girls.
They really are just wasting their bark
These two pics will just about show you how much good he is on that front
