Tasha in pen and ink. Golden retriever portrait.

Our girl Tasha gave birth to ten beautiful pups today. It seemed like a good time to post her new portrait.

Really gorgeous dog. Congratulations on becoming a new puppy grandfather. I bet they are so cute. I read that goldens have large litters. Ten puppies to nurse. Wow!

  Thank you Yvonne! Ten pups in a litter is common. We’ve had as many as thirteen.

    Wow! Thirteen must have kept the mom very busy and tired. 🙂

        I assume that you and Mary provide a bit of assistance by handing off a new group when it is nursing time. 🙂

        Yes, by moving mom out of the whelping box and giving the little ones quality time with mom. Some of the big faster growing puppies don’t need the extra help. Fortunately, she has enough spickots for all the pups.

  Ten is pretty typical for Goldens. We’ve had bigger and smaller litters. They’re all doing great and keeping us up at night. They stay in our bedroom for the first two weeks. 😴
