CoCo had 3 puppies when I checked at 8A , 7-6-12 FRI , 1 Blond Male and 2 Black Females. Moved her into air conditioned house at 8:15A due to the expected terrible heat . ** At 10:30 she had another Blond Male ** At 11:17A CoCo had a large Blonde Female which is the one pictured above and when she was picked up at 6 weeks or 42 days of age she weighed 10# - 8 Oz or 10-1/2 pounds . ** 1:46P She had her sixth and last puppy which was a Black Male . It is very oblivious from the above picture that this puppy has already developed the lifelong love and trust of the human race. This results in the Labrador Retriever breed being registered more than twice that of the 2nd place breed with the worlds biggest dog registration club, the AKC.
