Someone Has His Eyes Open!

This is one of the male puppies
Daphne just ate and has plenty of milk
I don’t know how she gets them all lined up perfect like that.

When they are 2 weeks old they will get their first worming, and I will put their colored collars on. (I don’t like to put the collars on too soon because sometimes the mother will try to chew it off, and that can hurt the puppy.) Then it will be easier for me to keep track of individual behaviors and personalities.

There are two boy puppies and one or two girl puppies still available in this litter.

Daphne’s Puppies Are Here!

Daphne is such a proud mama! Puppies are one day old in this picture.
A close-up of one of the puppies. Next to Mommy’s feet.
This male puppy has white on his nose much like Roz, Daphne’s sister. It will probably go away like Roz’s forehead spot.

7 healthy puppies! 3F, 4M! All arrived with normal delivery in the early morning hours of Thursday, July 16, 2026.

Because the x-ray taken a few days ago showed 8 puppies, I took her to the vet a few hours later, where she had another xray that showed a “stuck” puppy. Daphne then had to undergo a C-section to remove the 8th puppy. (That puppy did not make it.) I’m so glad I made that decision! She had a tear in her uterus from pushing so hard! The vet was able to repair the tear.

I am well aware that the tear would have lead to sepsis and even death without the surgery. I am so grateful to Dr. Miller of Crossroads West Veterinary Clinic in Richmond for advising me and taking her in for surgery immediately.

Daphne was able to start nursing the puppies again at the vets office.

Just a few hours old in this picture.
Back at home, Daphne is a fantastic Mom, following all of her instincts correctly.

Special shout out to my dear friends Sharon and Stan. Sharon came to help at 2:00 a.m. when the puppies started coming, took us to the vet when we had to go, stayed with puppies in her car during the C-section, and stayed with me until we got home from the vet on Thursday evening. I called Stan in the afternoon, and he went over to give the adult dogs treats because I hadn’t fed them all day. He let them out to do their business and waited until we got back. Sharon was able to go home, and Stan stayed and helped with the puppies and adult dogs so I could get some sleep. It takes a village.

If you are interested in one of Daphne’s puppies, please contact me.

Setting up the whelping room

I wonder if Daphne remembers this box from when she was a baby?
As her due date  nears, and after whelping, I’ll be sleeping on the futon.

If you are interested in a puppy from Daphne, please contact me at 304-610-7172, or email at morganshep@aol.com

Review previous blog posts for more information about Daphne’s upcoming litter.

Daphne is pregnant!

Daphne saw the reproductive specialist veterinarian today and her ultrasound confirmed that she is pregnant! Dr. Kolster counted approximately eight puppies. (It’s difficult to get an accurate count on an ultrasound.) She was so good for me and the technician who had to hold her, with her feet in the air on her back, during the ultrasound. Alas, I did not get a picture if that!

I am so excited about this upcoming litter! They are due on July 19, 2026.

CH Tennessee Walker Out of Sight (“SeeSee”) wins 1st Place in Herding Group!

(Thank you Ginette Degner for video!)

Many thanks to Judge Carol White-Moser for this win. She said SeeSee reminded her of the GSDs she had many years ago. This is what I’m trying to do in my breeding program: Preserve the bloodlines from decades ago that were strong and traditional looking German Shepherds. I’m so happy that this judge saw this in my dogs!

I also showed Roz and she liked her as well. But SeeSee took the win! She is mature now at age 5 and is extremely sound and a great mover. She is out of coat, but in a way that is good, because you can see her true structure and movement.

SeeSee is OFA GOOD HIPS, OFA CLEAR ELBOWS, DM CLEAR, and CARDIAC CLEAR.

SeeSee is the dam of CH Daphne Moon Out of Sight, who was bred on May 17th. Still waiting to see if she is pregnant! Contact me if interested in ethically bred GSD AKC American Showline puppies in Virginia!

Now we wait and see

Daphne came home today from her visit with Limu. If she is pregnant, I will probably know in about 6 weeks.

[If you are interested in being on a waiting list for a puppy, please call or text 304-610-7172 to discuss. Or use the contact page on the link in the menu which will reach me via email.]

Here are pictures of the lovely sire, Limu, and Daphne. I’ve also rearranged the household so you’ll see pictures of my other dogs too on this post.

Limu with the soft brown eyes.
Limu. Such a calm boy.

It was really hard to get pictures of Daphne because she would not leave my side once she came home! She loves her mommy.

Daphne
That is Winston between Daphne’s ears
Because Roz is also in heat now, I have to crate Daphne sometimes.

The last time Daphne was in heat, she and Roz were about 2 months apart in their cycles. Now they are overlapping. Roz has to alternate with Daphne being in the crate because they can no longer get along with each other. The split happened on Daphne’s last heat cycle.

It’s hard to get pictures of Roz too for the same reason! She is also clingy because she is in heat.
Roz finally relaxed with Winston on the cardboard that now protects my rugs.

Their mother SeeSee is soon to follow with her cycle. If they’re all 3 in heat at the same time Clyde will lose his mind. He is downstairs and Roz and Daphne are upstairs in order to minimize his frustration. (Winston is neutered so he doesn’t care.) Right now, SeeSee is keeping Clyde company downstairs until she comes in heat too.

Johnny and Jane stay downstairs all the time. It’s not fair to make them go up and down steps.

FINALLY FINALLY

Daphne is FINALLY in heat. She will be going to visit the stud dog this weekend, and spend a few days there.

Obviously, this changes the dates of when puppies will be available. Instead of July or August, we are looking at the middle of September. This still leaves time for optimum socialization in the fall months when weather is decent.

I am still taking names and interviews for a wait list. I ask anyone looking for a puppy to visit in person so they can meet all my dogs. This way you can be sure I have what you are looking for.

You get to check out their temperament and make sure they’re coming from an environment that you understand is clean and healthy and conducive to good development. And I get to meet you to make sure I believe you will make a good new puppy owner. Win-win.

Here are some fresh pics of Ch. Daphne Moon Out of Sight.

Daphne is with Clyde in this picture. NOT the dog she is being bred to.

The stud dog’s name is Limu. He is a Grand Champion now. Here is the link to the post where you can see him with Daphne.
