Hanner has a litter of seven sleek new babies by Glen, four boys and three girls. Born on Monday October 1st, here they are today at four days old.

Following the family tradition, Hanner didn't let her maternal duties prevent her from joining the rest of us on our daily long hike in the forest - even for a day. After our usual two-hour ramble on Monday she came home to whelp with ease and efficiency - and had the babies clean, fed and contented in time to allow her to enjoy our next outing!
