Maddie had a strange season this time and had several matings over several days, so there's quite a large window with relation to when they could come. Judging by the size of her, I would say they will come from the earlier matings, so I am guessing around the 14th of Februaury...

If there is a Basset Hound puppy in the litter, it will most definitely have your name on it Elaine

Yes, I have mated her to a black dog that carries chocolate. If he didn't carry choc then all the puppies would be black as black is the dominant gene. Both parents have to either be or carry choc to produce choccie pups

Average litter size for labs is about 8 puppies although Maddie tends to throw bigger litters, her biggest being 11 puppies
This is her last litter so a nice black bitch out of her would be very nice
I hope she has an easy labour/birth and heaps of healthy pups
