Life is good at Dolce Vita Farm as we welcome 5 new puppies to the world!

On Wednesday, November 11, we welcomed 5 new babies!  Mom, Orcia and all babies are doing well and thriving!

We have searched the world for males that we feel can contribute the most to our breeding program.  Last year we were able to have the amazing Multi CH Dante delle Gualdarie sire seven beautiful puppies for us.  This year we decided on another simply amazing boy, Multi CH Cisco (Gallerini), owned by Annie Ahlberg of Sweden to breed to our CH Comes Cordis Orcia.

Today I am feeling really grateful and lucky to be able to announce this litter.  We were blessed with 3 girls and 2 boys.

Here they are at one day old.  I'm proud to introduce them.

Yes, she has a tail but it was wagging so fast and it's all the way to the right.  :)

Puppies at Seven Weeks Old Playing Outside

We finally had a break in the weather so I was able to get them outside this week for some fresh air and playtime...and they had sooo much fun!

This is a picture of the little girl staring at us on the sofa in front of her.  She wanted us to pick her up so badly - she looked so pathetic.

This little guy was so relaxed with Mike holding him and was sleeping so soundly.

Orcia's Puppies - Six Weeks Old

I have finally chosen their names and will update shortly!  But for now enjoy their sweet little "mug shots".

Update:
It has been very difficult for me to decide which name theme I wanted to go with for this litter.  Of course it had to be Italian being their sire resides in Italy but nothing seemed to fit just right.  Their father is one of the best, if not THE best, male Lagotto in all of Italy, so I wanted names that would reflect on how wonderful he is and how he dominates the show ring.  So I have chosen the theme of Emperors of the Roman Empire and their wives that served beside them.  These were strong and dominating rulers and the theme seemed to fit so well with this litter.

So, I am excited to introduce them all by name!
