Second time's the charm!

Today we got some much anticipated good news! Florence is pregnant!

We bred Florence in May of this year only to be disappointed that the breeding did not result in puppies. The dog we bred to was Cetina Smiln Bout My New Jeans, aka Taylor, beloved dog of Ed and Cynthia Murray. They had one frozen collection on Taylor so when Flo wasn't pregnant they were very disappointed.

Since there was no more frozen semen on Taylor we chose to breed Florence to the very handsome GCH Merry Go Round Express, aka Beau. Beau is a moderate boy with lovely spotting and a fabulous pedigree!


Beau's correct conformation and proper movement have  made him very successful in the show ring, finishing with 4 major wins. You could not ask for better temperament, Beau is very friendly and outgoing and along with Florence's sweet, confident personality, we are expecting some real charmers from this pair!

 Florence has lovely dark liver colored spotting, is correct in type and has proper movement. She  finished in 2012 with 3 majors, one of which was at a Specialty supported entry show.  Florence's owners moved up to Idaho earlier this year from California, so I will be able to help deliver the puppies and watch them grow up!

Three weeks and a sneek peek!

The Molly x Brigham puppies are almost 4 weeks old now. Very soon the pups will have their BAER hearing test performed and then a final evaluation for structure and temperament.

More formal stacked photos will be taken soon but I thought I would give you a little taste with some candid shots of a few of the puppies taken a few days ago. I hope you enjoy them and stop back for another visit soon!
