We are extremely pleased to announce the arrival of six healthy baby Germans. With barely any warning on Sunday, Inca gave birth to five girls and one boy, the first interrupting our tradition Sunday brunch and making a little bit of a mess on the back deck.

She did a tremendous job, starting at 12.45pm and naturally delivering all pups by 6pm that night, taking to mothering like a duck to water and completely unfazed by our presence. We are super happy with how well everything went and we shall update you all in the coming days and weeks with mum and bub's progress.

Thank you to Whittlesea Vet, Frank and Ildi, Roberto and everyone else who helped us bring this little furballs into being. Go Inca!
