Family Photos

Cant believe how quickly the last 8 weeks have gone and that the first of our babies will be leaving us for their new homes this weekend.

Spent a while today trying to get a family photos with limited success. These babies would rather be playing that posing for the camera.

Star Wars Puppies

So proud to say that Torsa has had her puppies, a beautiful litter of 6 big puppies, 3 boys (2 black, 1 liver) and 3 girls (2 black and 1 liver). All doing really well and Mum is just fantastic, so proud of her.

This is our Star Wars litter so welcome to Obi-Wan, Yoda, Shmi, Rey, Chewbacca and Leia (I have resisted calls for Darth Vadar, Darth Maul and Kylo Ren 😒)

Fingers and toes crossed for an Easter Litter

So excited to say that our lovely Torsa (Craigachan Diamond Queen) has been mated with the adorable and handsome Steig (Almanza Rush Your Engines to Levliann) and we have fingers crossed for a litter around Easter 2016. Steig is a liver dog and with Torsa a liver carrier we expect this litter to be a mix of black and liver. The inbreeding coefficient will be a low 2.9%, well below the breed average (7.4%)

Pedigrees

Ive always been interested in genealogy and decided to try recording  the dogs pedigree in my genealogy program. It works pretty well but some limitations in naming – person, husband, wife and marriage – not so relevant to dogs and breeding. If you can ignore all that however it works ok to record the lineage and it’s just something I find interesting.

Puppy Updates

Cant believe how quickly time is passing. All our puppies are now well settled in their new homes,  our home is so quiet again, we all miss the puppy cuddles but it’s been lovely to get regular updates and find out how they are all getting on.
