On Tuesday 9 April, SAGA’s brood bitch, Jelly, gave birth to eight healthy puppies! Aren’t these fat, squishy little babies just the cutest!??!?

Jelly is a yellow Lab and she was mated to a black Lab named Manny (owned by a breeder, not by SAGA) and all eight of their pups – four girls and four boys – are black!

We’ve been thinking of names for ages already, because we were hoping to get one of the “L” litter puppies, also known as “the jelly babies”, and last week we sent a shortlist of names to SAGA for approval for our new puppy.

Lennox          Leroy
Levi          Lex
Lexie (F)          Lightning
Lisbon          Loki
Lola (F)          Luna (F)
Lyric (F)

We had already asked our Puppy Development Supervisor (PDS) to assist us with choosing a puppy, and when she returned the list, only Lennox and Loki were still options so we’re pretty sure we’re getting a boy.

Towards the end of May, we will go to SAGA to fetch our new puppy, and we let them know today that we would like our baby to be named “Lennox”!

If you’re on Twitter, keep an eye out for the #SAGApupLennox hashtag to keep an eye on how his training is going, I’m going to create a Facebook page for him, and I’ll be blogging about him here too.
