🎃🐾 MEET DOTTIE’S LITTLE PUMPKINS! 🐾🎃

The individual newborn photos are finally here! We ended our long Halloween night with six beautiful babies:

🩷 5 girls
💙 1 boy
❤️ 3 red
🖤 3 black

We will begin contacting everyone on our waiting list in the order they joined. Once that process begins, we will be accepting four reservations on this litter.

NWR Kennels retains the first and second selections. Puppy selections will take place at approximately 3 weeks old, in the order reservations are received. This gives everyone time to watch their colors, markings and development become more visible before choosing.

These babies are from an intentional dual-sired litter with Yeti and Mater. DNA parentage testing will officially confirm the sire of each black puppy. All reds are off of mater.

Take a look through their pictures and let us know which little pumpkin catches your eye! 🧡

Thank you to everyone who has followed Dottie’s journey and waited patiently for these special little pumpkins! Individual introductions are coming this afternoon! 🎃🐾

🎃🐾 DOTTIE’S LITTLE PUMPKINS HAVE ARRIVED! 🐾🎃

Sorry for the delayed update—it was a very long night! Dottie finished with six beautiful babies:

🩷 5 girls
💙 1 boy
❤️ 3 red
🖤 3 black

We also want to be completely transparent and explain where the red puppies came from.

At the beginning of Dottie’s heat cycle, she was bred to Mater twice, our half-European red-and-rust male. She was later bred to Yeti 5 times, making this an intentional dual-sired litter. We assumed they would be yetis due to we bred them more and 3 days longer than mater.

We chose this route because we had recently experienced two false pregnancies after breeding to a male whose fertility had been affected by the extreme Texas heat. With heat indexes reaching around 120°F, temporary heat-related sterility was a real concern. Yeti would not allow us to collect and evaluate his semen, while Mater did, so using both males gave us the best chance of successfully producing a litter.

Genetically, Yeti tested BB, meaning he cannot produce red/brown puppies. Mater is red and rust, so the three red puppies are consistent with Mater being their sire. The black puppies could potentially be sired by either male. DNA parentage testing will provide official confirmation for each puppy.

Our final count is three red babies and three black babies—all six doing well with their mama. Dottie did an amazing job, and we could not be prouder of her! 🧡

More individual pictures and updates will be coming after everyone has had time to rest and settle in.

🎃🐾 DOTTIE LABOR UPDATE 🐾🎃

It looks like our little pumpkins may finally be getting ready to make their grand entrance! Dottie has entered the nesting stage of early labor and is busy rearranging her blankets, getting comfortable and preparing her special spot. 🧡

She is calm, doing well and being watched closely. Nesting can continue for a while before active labor begins, so we are letting her rest and move at her own pace—but things are definitely starting to happen!

We will share another update as soon as we have more news. Hopefully, the next post will be the arrival announcement everyone has been waiting for! 👀🐾

Come on, Dottie—we are ready to meet those little pumpkins! 🎃🖤

🎃🚨 HOSTAGE SITUATION UPDATE 🚨🎃

Dottie is STILL holding the little pumpkins hostage! 😂🐾

We have talked to her, offered snacks and tried to negotiate their release—but she apparently has her own schedule! As of this update, there are still no puppies, and she is keeping everyone at NWR Kennels anxiously waiting.

Dottie is resting, getting lots of love and being watched closely while we wait for her babies to decide it’s time to make their grand entrance. Hopefully, our next update will include tiny spotted pumpkins! 🧡🖤

A little Dottie update! 🐾🎃

We’ve had lots of messages asking if she’s had her puppies yet, and the answer is not yet! Today is her 65-day mark, and we’re keeping a close eye on our sweet girl while we wait for those little paws to arrive. Every mama has her own timing, so we’ll share the big news as soon as there’s an update. Thank you for checking in and sharing our excitement! 🖤🤍
