Day10

Mom and pups are doing great!!

Little Yellow thought that mom and siblings were a jungle gym today.

A couple of the puppies have "bolo pads". These are white hairs found on the bottom of their feet or, more specifically, white patches of hair on the back of their legs just above their pads.

Bolo Pads are named after the great dog FC CH Banchory Bolo. He was the first ever Dual Champion in the labrador breed and lived from 1915-1927 in England.

He can be found in the pedigree of nearly all of our field trial labs today. Especially through Hiwood Risk, an English import, who was the grandsire of Dual Ch. CFC Little Pierre of Deer Creek.

Here is a pic of some bolo pads on Red's back feet.

And finally...these puppies have big paws to fill...literally.
