We're happy to share that a new little one joined our Greyfarer family this week.  From the ancient port city of Cádiz, Spain comes our new girl, Borrasca Gaditana de la Manada de Tuky.  She's 13 weeks old and a confident little spitfire.

 

Borrasca traveled the 6 hours from Cádiz to Madrid with her breeder's boyfriend Carlos and met up with our friend and Borrasca's chaperone for the trip, Sebastian (with German kennel 'z Karpatsky stráže'), spending the night in Madrid and catching the flight out with her in the morning.  The Iberian Airlines crew were all very friendly and checked up on her a few times during the flight to make sure she was all OK.

First night in Madrid!

Years ago, when Borrasca's father Volker was born, I was really interested in him so I'm really glad that we have his pedigree and the line of Enor Maly Bysterec through his daughter today.  Of the four litters of Iran Zemplínka oblast' that went on to have dogs with breeding rights, Borrasca's pedigree contains three with different maternal lines.  It makes her pedigree a tighter line-breeding but it is uncommon and can make a good outcross.  Her pedigree can be found on her page here.

 

But in any case these are all hypotheticals.. at the moment she is just a baby and settling in quickly.  She lives with Marius  and our Rōnin & company and already has a lots of plans for her in the coming months.  She will make her Novice Puppy class UKC show debut at the end of June too!

I hope that Sebastian enjoys his mini-vacation near Chicago and helping Marius settle her into the family.  She's so funny-looking and awkward now at 13 weeks, all feet and ears, but we look forward to watching her grow up.  She comes from a litter of only two and the final litter of Kimaris Kay.  Her sister Bahia de Cadiz stays with her breeder, Berta, and we're really grateful that she's let Borrasca come to us, so far away.  We're also really thankful for all the help that Sebastian and Iris have given to safely transport Borrasca to us in person. 

 

Today Rōnin also turns two years old.  Happy birthday Rōnin!! Hope you enjoy your special present!!
