| The Jack/Bec litter is here! The "D" Litter Puppies arrived on March 8th. There are 5 females, 2 males. Check back each week for updates on the pups! At the end of week 8, the pups are beginning to go to their new homes. They have continued to grow, learn and experience new situations on a daily basis. Our vet made a house call for their checkup early in the week. The pups all handled it all like champs. To see updated pictures of the individual pups, please click on their pictures below.

| Dale In keeping with the theme of my home states (birth state-SC, home state-NC), the pups in this litter carry a name that come from these 2 states. Our first b&t girl is Dale. Dale is named for a town located in SC. I originally thought all my b&t girls were just about identical, but right now, Dale has the darkest colored feet of the three. |
| Dee The Great Pee Dee River flows through SC and actually was fairly near my hometown of Marion, SC. We would have to cross the river to go shopping at Treasure City located in Florence. Dee may end up with a black mask. Time will tell, but she does have the darkest face of the three b&t girls. |
| Dare One of North Carolina's claim to fame is the Lost Colony which included the Dare family. Virginia Dare was the first English baby to be born in the New World. Dare is also the name of one of North Carolina's coastal counties. Dare has lovely markings even as a tiny baby. I am extremely partial to the deep black "V's" on her cheeks. |
| Darla Darla's name is taken from Darlington, SC. Many folks know this town due to its NASCAR fame. Darla is our smallest girl right now. She has white markings on her chest & belly, white feet and a partial collar. She has the least amount of white on her feet of the white marked pups. |
| Dixie Dixie is just because this is the part of the country we live in! Actually, I ran out of possible D names from NC & SC for girls, but Dixie seems to fit this one well. Dixie was the largest pup in the litter at birth weighing in at 15 oz. She has a small white stripe on the back of her neck, white chest and belly markings along with stocking feet and a small blaze. |
| Davie Davie County is located in the middle of NC & is actually the home county of some of my grandparents. Davie is the next to the largest pup in the litter weighing in at 14.6 oz at birth. He too has the white stocking feet, white chest & belly, along with a small blaze and a partial collar. |
| Duncan Duncan is a town located in NC. He is the smaller of the two boys and may end up sporting the most white. He is very cute with his stocking feet, white chest and belly along with an arrow shaped marking on the back of his neck. |
