Very. They are super devoted and therefore extremely attached.

didn't have the stomach to do the research on this quite yet.

I'm really sorry Lynne. We'll never know what the problem was with the pup
that did not survive. I did find this article, and thought it might be of
interest to you and the folks taking care of the mom and the pups:

Thanks again, Suja. That's an interesting article and I will pass it
along.

The puppy who died and one other look very much like purebred Goldens at
this point, though they definitely are not as their mom is a mix. I
suspect their sire is a Golden, though. Whatever caused this, I am really
hopeful that the rest of the puppies will be okay and that this was just a
fluke. So far, none of them are showing any signs of problems, thank
goodness.
