A "KINDER" SURPRISE but this one wasn't a chocolate egg.

It certainly wasn't planned, but Emmylou has had four lovely babies

They are father Johnny Cash's first, proving litter. So I can at least offer him confidently at stud. Although not 2.5 years old yet, his MRI scan was very good. We will repeat it when he's old enough. Otherwise,

Both parents are heart and eye tested and are free of defects.

One of the black and tan girls will stay, and the blenheim boy is under offer.

We have a black and tan girl, and a tricolour girl for sale.

We await developments on Charlotte who is due any day now, and expecting six babies by Ch Aranel Cosmic. Fingers crossed for a safe delivery -- SEE BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT AND PICS IN "MUMS AND PUPPIES"
