Meet Black and Decker
BLACK  |  DECKER

MEET BLACK and go through the stages of her life.
Black is a female and about the same size as her sister, Decker, maybe ever so slightly larger at this stage.  They both looked nice and big and healthy when they were born.
Black has what is known as a "mismark".  She is most certainly 100% guaranteed a purebred but she has a white lightning shaped mark on her chest and a white toe.  It is very obvious now at the size she is at, but as she gets bigger the white will get smaller.  Mismarks are not uncommon in Labrador Retrievers 
and are only an issue if you are planning to show your pup.  
Some people refuse to buy a Lab with a mismark for lack of education - believing that it means the dog is not a purebred - others prefer the mismarked Labs as it makes their pup unique, plus it is an excellent means of visible identification.  For more information on Labrador Retriever Mismarks see the links below.

2 days - Black eats and sleeps - lots of milk available so she has grown noticeably since she was born.  Unfortunately Black is very hard to photograph with her black features so the pics of her are not very good and the ones I took of her mismark are blurry.  Come back soon and check for better pics.  On Day 2 Black was already up on all 4 legs attempting to walk.
Black is priced at $800

22 days - Black keeps up with her sister, Decker.
They are both big, big girls - both affectionate and starting to really want to play. 

37 days - Black & Decker were both taken to the vets for an early check.  Black had an ever so slightly noticeable weakness in her hind end and we thought we'd have the vet take a look at her as we had someone who was very interested in putting a deposit on her and we wanted to make sure she was 100%.  We were shocked to find out that the weakness in her hind end was a non-issue but that she had a heart murmur.  A severe one.  And we were even more shocked to learn that Decker also had a heart murmur - though not as serious as Black's.  The vet agreed that we should put Black down.  We didn't have the heart to do it as she was happy and seemed 100% healthy and wasn't suffering so we let her live with the idea that maybe the vet was wrong and a bit of time might make a change or that we would just let her live out her life.  One Saturday night 1 day before she turned 8 weeks old Black was more energetic than ever.  To this point the only signs of anything wrong were a bit of shortness of breath if she played to hard and she slept a bit more than the other pup.  The night before she turned 8 weeks old she was full of energy and playing like crazy - no one would have noticed anything.  Sunday morning she was dead.   We were actually quite happy as she did live her full life and we did not have to put her down - she did not suffer as far as we know except for at the very last and it lasted about 20 seconds.  She was a happy fun little pup and she helped us learn a bit more about breeding.  

Our new policy will be to have all pups checked for murmurs when they go for dew claws at 2 days old.
