In February 2005, Pearl became the proud mother of ten puppies (the 'C' Litter). Her brood consisted of five girls and five boys. Since their dad (sire) Bobby (see above) was a black Labrador Retriever, seven of her puppies were black and three were blond. Each of her pups was lovingly raised by a volunteer CCI 'Puppy-Raiser' (PR) and then sent to Advanced Training at around eighteen months. Four of the 'C' puppies went on to work for CCI as service, skilled companion or hearing dogs. The rest of her pups took different career paths as beloved pets and therapy dogs.
