These 3 beautiful pups were born at the surgery yesterday. Mum just didn't go into labour which sometimes happens. We ran a progesterone test to double check the time was right and then tried to hormonally induce labour. This treatment didn't work so we performed a caesarean. These 3 little (but not that little!) beauties were born - an unusually small litter for the breed. What are they?
