This morning we went to the vet clinic with Nukka for a final checkup, the second herpes vaccination and had her x-rayed. Nukka stayed most of last weeks with her family and so I was quite unsure about the number and size of her pups. The ultrasonography we did some […]

Now we can tell the world: our foundation bitch Kira is going to be a granny! Her daughter Nukka (Almundis of Kahnawake) will be having puppies, sired by Finn (Zaltana Heart On Fire of Savannah Town). Finn was bred by Louise Franklyn (Zaltana kennel) and lives with Simone Ebardt-Heidt and […]
And now for some more pictures of our little sweethearts.
In the pen – either inside or in the garden – the pups are playing happily (preferably scuffling or castle capture). So we made some first attempts of stacking on a table. It was good enough for some funny pictures. 😆

Today Kira got the second shot against CHV (canine herpesvirus), so that the newborn pups will be safe from that disease, because CHV is a very dangerous condition in which a whole litter can die a painful death within 48 hours. Kira herself is all cool and happy. Even that […]
After visiting the vet, we know for sure we will have a litter B: at least five little whirlwinds are bustling about in Kira’s womb! As lively as they are, there is no doubt, they are fit as a fiddle. Kira has her own page on this website with lots […]
