Fanta went into labor Saturday afternoon so I knew it would be a very long night. I stay with my ladies from the start of labor until the puppies are around 4 weeks of life pretty much 24/7 sleeping beside them nightly. Fanta delivered her first baby at 12:38 a.m.Sunday, October 30th and then proceeded to have a puppy every two hours for one puppy followed by another pup 45 minutes later and she stayed with that pattern of 2 hours for a puppy then 45 minutes every other puppy until the last puppy. It was a very long night and day on Sunday. Breeding is never for the faint of heart; we love our dogs as family members FIRST; we only have puppies when we want to expand our show and/or breeding programs, this is a hobby fueled by love and respect of our Labradors - never a business; never has been, never will be..

Fanta did not experience any complications but unfortunately we did lose three of the babies and yes it breaks your heart and you step away with the baby as not to upset the mom and that's when and where you completely lose it...yes it hurts and so many tears are shed then and later. We try everything when we have babies either stillborn or lost shortly after birth...we have a pretty extensive neonatal unit set up but we do CPR, Mouth to Mouth and a few other techniques that if there is any chance we can save the baby they will work. This was not to be for our three angels this time. So Fanta's final count surviving is seven beautiful healthy babies. There are 2 chocolate males, 2 black males and 3 black females. There were no chocolate females in this litter whatsoever.

Please understand we do not make our final picks of who will stay here with us for our breeding and show programs until between 7-8 weeks. This is why we ask for two choice selections on your puppy reservation form as until they are born we have no idea of gender or color and how many of each and we try to ensure each family gets their pick of puppy.

The next few weeks will be about love and growth; we start temperament testing at 7 days and will do it several times over the next 9 weeks.


12/28/2016 - Babies are growing so fast! Now 8 weeks old and running and playing. All gaining weight nicely and have had their 8 week old worming and first DAAPP vaccine. Vet check on Friday and then soon babies will be joining their new families. All are between 19-21 lbs each!! All puppy families to be contacted this week for final instructions - get ready families, your babies will be home soon.

12/21/2016 - the babies got to go outside and run and play as far and as long as they wanted...an hour later everyone was pooping out so in we came for nap time. Tomorrow they will go outside and I will get individual puppy pictures - new pictures loaded in the 2016 Puppy Gallery

12/19/2016 - Forgive my delay in updating everyone...my goodness these babies are growing so quickly. Puppies now on three feedings a day at 6 a.m. 2 p.m. and 10 p.m. and all are eating great! They are so consistent in their potty training. Yesterday all puppies went on a car ride and we did puppy evaluations with 6 other labrador breeders. We have chosen the puppies that are remaining here at EverOak Labradors and have decided which puppy will now go with which family and we are very, very excited for everyone. Babies are up running, biting tails and ears, barking and just precious. The babies are now completely weaned from their mom and now 7 weeks old!! Vaccines and microchips on 12/30/2016 and then soon the babies will be going to their new homes. Time has flown way too quickly.


12/7/2016 - Babies got full vet exams and NeoPar (Parvo Only) vaccine...all nice and healthy!! Next exam/vaccines 12/28/2016

12/5/2016 - Babies are FANTASTIC! They are getting so big and personalities are coming out...we have quiet ones, bold ones and those in between. They get books read to them daily and music and movies...I sit in with them for several hours a day with their socialization...they all like to climb in your lap and kiss, kiss and kiss more. They wrestle with each other, pull tails and ears then fall asleep in a big puppy pile. This week on Wednesday, 12/7 they will receive their first parvo vaccine...I am truly going to miss these babies but I am so excited for their new families!

12/19/2016 - Forgive my delay in updating everyone...my goodness these babies are growing so quickly. Puppies now on three feedings a day at 6 a.m. 2 p.m. and 10 p.m. and all are eating great!

11/26/2016- Babies are growing so fast! Fanta's babies will be 4 weeks old tomorrow. Weaning to solid food has begun. The babies are still shared between Maddie and Fanta so each are still nursing 4 babies each several times a day BUT we have now added puppy gruel 2x a day...everyone up and walking around, barking, playing with one another. New pictures have been added today to the joint puppy album.

11/19/2016 - WOW has it been crazy around here so I apologize for the update delay. Babies are all growing and getting HUGE. Everyone has had their first worming and continue to nurse as their only source of food as they will begin on gruel around 4 weeks of age - babies will be THREE WEEKS OLD TOMORROW 11/20. Updated pictures in in the Maddie/Fanta combined album since both moms continue to share raising the babies.

11/06/2016 - Fanta continues to be a great mom. All babies are gaining weight nicely and belly crawling - this should be an exciting week as babies will start to try and get their feet up under themselves and eyes should be open by the end of the week! Here are some pictures taken of the babies - purple collar black girl and red collar black boy just did not want to cooperate so I will try and post pictures soon of them. The bottom picture of 4 has Fanta's two black girls (mint green and pink collars) that her best friend Maddie is raising with her two sons

11/04/2016 - babies are doing great and continue to grow. Fanta is such a great mommy - Since her best friend Maddie only two babies 10/31/2016 and has plenty of milk I did move two of Fanta's babies over to Maddie to raise with her two sons as the whelping areas are set up beside each other.
