- CH. Killagay Tudur Sly O'Meadowsway, CD, CGC, TDI was bred to Killagay Tudur Miss Ziggy on 26 March 2008.
- On the afternoon of 28 May 2008 between the hours of 1531 and 1830 Ziggy had a litter of six puppies, three boys and three girls. All puppies currently appear healthy, are nursing and are very content; Ziggy is a very good mother.
- Day 1, Ziggy and all puppy's are doing well.
- Day 2, Took Ziggy and her puppies to the vet for a good check-up, tail docking and dew claw removal. All went well, Ziggy and puppies have received a clear health report.
- Day 4, Puppies continue to grow and thrive. Ziggy has more than enough milk for all the puppies and she is very patient with them. Ziggy really is a very good mother.
- Day 12, Puppies continue to grow. They are becoming much more active as they become more aware of their surroundings. Eyes are just beginning to open.
- Day 19, The puppies are starting to explore their surroundings a lot more. They are never in the whelping box any longer and they are starting to help themselves to Ziggy's food. Not three weeks old and starting to eat a bit of solid food!
- Day 28, It is getting harder to obtain photos of individual puppies. They just will not stay in one place long enough to get a good photo!
- Day 38 (5 1/2 weeks, 05 July), the puppies continue to grow and thrive. They have now been wormed twice with no sign of any worms. The puppies now insist on helping me put their fresh paper down, with their help it now takes at least twice the amount of time to change their paper. They are almost completely weaned to solid food at this time.
- Day 47 and 48. The puppies are really starting to play a lot more now and they are completely weaned onto solid food now. They will be receiving their Avid Microchip on July 17 and their first vaccination on July 18.
- Week 9. We have now decided which male and female we plan on keeping out of this litter. We were going to keep only one male, however this litter has turned out so well that we decided to also keep a female.
