Eight Is Enough

I’m happy to announce the arrival of eight tri-color puppies today, three boys and five girls, by BIS. CH. Bayou Oaks English Leather out of Talbot Hill’s Razzle Dazzle.  This litter is co-owned and co-bred with Alyce Gilmore (Bayou Oaks Beagles) and photos will be on my web site later this weekend.
