To our total amazement Heidi returned home an hour later very tired with 1 single male puppy......Yogi (we reckon he will look like a little bear  with that endless supply of Mum's milk all to himself) as he has been affectionatley named is absolutley gorgeous looks just like his mum, I don't know that dad is overly impressed with his offspring but I am sure in time they will get along and have lots of fun together
Mum and Yogi are getting along wonderfully I took this pic with my phone when he was about 2 hours old so its not real flash.....sorry:)
