Litter #1 - They Are Here!

Kora was a champ last night as she welped TEN puppies in 2.5 hours!!! One little yellow lady, the eighth of the litter, was sadly still born, so there are nine thriving, healthy, hungry puppies that Kora is caring for. She is a wonderful mother which makes us proud.

2 black males

2 black females

2 yellow males

Coat Color Facts

I found a chart that predicts the color puppies a labs can have, which explains why we ended up with a litter of only yellow and black coats. Jake, our chocolate lab, has possible gene types of VIII or IX and Kora, our yellow lab with a black nose, has possible gene types of V or VI. Together that can create one of the following litter combinations:

A) all black
B) 1/2 black, 1/2 yellow
C) 1/2 black, 1/2 chocolate
D) 1/4 black, 1/2 yellow, 1/4 chocolate
