Apologies for the lack of updates

The Westwood Aussie gang has been alive and well - just incredibly busy as of late!

On Christmas Day Tara gave birth to her last litter. Sadly, she had complications and around 5PM we were at the Emergency Vet clinic in Reidsville, NC with six puppies (that had been whelped normally) and a mother dog who had been struggling to push a puppy out for the past two hours. My best guess was that she still had three puppies inside of her and an x-ray soon revealed that guess to be accurate.

They rushed Tara to the operating room and after 30minutes (which seemed like forever) they had delivered the remaining three puppies via an emergency c-section. Sadly, the pup that was stuck didn't make it.

We returned home with eight puppies and a very disoriented and exhausted mother dog. The next day only saw more disappointment as we lost the weakest of the remaining eight puppies. She was a tiny red merle female - but most likely born prematurely.

It's been over a week since she gave birth, and the remaining seven puppies all seem healthy and strong. There is another runt, a little red tri male, but with diligent bottle feedings he seems to be doing well!

Of the seven puppies we have three black tri males, two red merles (one male, and one female) and two red tris (again - one male and one female).

We're currently accepting emails and phone calls from those interested in discussing purchasing a puppy from this litter. As always, it's important to make sure all puppies are placed in appropriate homes so please be sure to include as much information as possible about yourself, your family, and your past experiences with Aussies or any dogs/pets you may have previously owned!
