Hi Debra and Meggie

Thanks for your kind words ... yes they are big girls aren't they, though Caro is noticeably smaller than Rhia. Dam was a standard (17lbs three year old) and Sire was a miniture Yorkie. I think Caro will stay very small, so not sure about having a litter for her, because I don't want her to have complications with birthing a large puppy.

Can you give me advise about sibling rivalry Meggie? You say you have kept two girls from the same litter ... how did they get on? Caro and Rhia get really rough and aggressive with each other, particularly Caro, who is much smaller as I've said, she's always having a go at Rhia and shows jealousy if Rhia wants a cuddle with me. She's also the one who is vocal and this is something I'm not used to ... my other girls didn't yap at all, I only ever heard their voices when they warned of visitors to the farm yard.

Lovely to hear from you both, you have loads of experience I can tell. I wish you both well and hope to keep in touch regularly.

Below you will see my other girls Coco (Coke) and Pepsi. Coke - in the middle pic and laying on the left - passed away age 13 years three years ago, and Pepsi is now 10 years old and going strong.
