As we expected to the very day, Morrow had her litter on the evening of August 2, 2017.  Seven healthy puppies were born and they are all gaining weight and growing.  She had five boys and two girls in her whelping box in my bedroom and although we have been up 24/7 with them with .. [more]

We’re so happy to share that our A/B litter has been confirmed via sonogram this weekend!  On Day 33 (counted from LH surge) we took Morrow in to see our amazing repro vet Dr. Sebzda, who has been working with us since December.  Her specialized experience has been essential in ensuring the success of the ..

Although we were planning to travel to our selected studs in the second half of 2017 for Morrow’s litter, she decided to throw us a curve ball and resume her split heat at the end of April. With a lot of help from our theriogenologist veterinarian in regards to ovulation & travel timing and so .. [more]

Due to the newly-released re-tested Pituitary Dwarfism results for one of the the studs we selected, we have had to make a change in plans for our A/B litter.   Regrettably, with the corrected test results which were originally due to lab error, we will not be able to use Amir z Vlčej rokliny with ..

It’s been a month and I can finally write a little bit about our Blu.  In early April, we chose to let Blu go, holding her in the living room as she crossed into the beyond.  It was the hardest decision we have ever made, not only in terms of our kennel and dogs but .. [more]

  In addition to our ‘official’ reason for this trip to Slovakia, we also spent the rest of our time traveling around in Hungary and Austria, eating and drinking in the company of some of our favorite people (and dogs!!).  Once again, Morrow received a full-immersion course in acclimatization and socialization, traveling with me through ..

We have finalized our plans for our only litter for 2017. All details can be found here.  We are accepting an extremely limited number of wait-list places at the moment.  Please read all the information under the Litters and Applications section. 

A short post, but three of our dogs placed in the UKC National Top Ten rankings for 2016!  So we’ll wait for our invitations to the UKC Premier Top Ten Show in the mail for this year too.  🙂  I don’t think we’ll be going to Michigan for the Premier this year either, since there’s .. [more]

Our winter break seemed too short, but we’re back in the game for 2017 already, with a single-day set of trials the past Sunday. Rōnin and Harley picked up where they left off in 2016, for Harley in the Advanced class and Rōnin in Masters and Elite classes. Additionally, he also trialed for the first .. [more]

The past weekend of November 19-20, we went to our last UKC shows for 2016 with Ghost, Blu and Morrow.  Under an at-times rare grey California sky, the temperature was perfect and we had an enjoyable 4-show cluster which ultimately finished out Blu’s Grand Champion title, the very first in the breed.  Blu is officially ..
