The Olivia-Nacho puppies arrived earlier than expected yesterday – September 23rd. Olivia was in labor much of the day — then whelped the first born at 4 PM and the last one about 6 hours later. We were up all night checking the little ones and are pleased to report that the six puppies are small but nursing fantastically. Mama O is, of course, an exceptional mother. The first four puppies were girls and the last two were boys.
The newborn nursery is in the Dog Room adjacent to the garage. They will stay in this heated room for quite a while. The nursery has a large whelping house filled with cedar shavings, plenty of fresh water for Mama O and a doggie door for a quick exit to the toilet.
Here are a few quick photos before we head back to watch the babies.
So precious! Congratulations Olivia, Nacho and all SPK. Looking forward to lots of updates on the new members of the family 🙂
Yay! Congrats to all

Welcome to the world precious pups! Glad all went well and I hope everything continues to go fine. Can't wait to see who from the litter will look like a mini Olivia or a Nacho Jr. Great news – thanks for letting all of us know.
Awesome, more "super model's" coming out of SP Kennel. Congratulations to "Momma-O" and the whole SP Kennel,looking forward to plenty of pictures and videos to come, I'm sure we'll be seeing some on the trail to Nome in a few years, and some will be quiet Quest Stars!
Thanks for sharing this. Congrats to all. This is my first time seeing newborn puppies. Are their noses always pink like that? Have you selected a name theme yet? All the best to mom, dad, pups, and grand-gardians.
