Yesterday afternoon our litter C was born. After a quite sleepless night and some stressing labour, Nukka gave birth to her very first baby, and immidiately took good care of him who was very active and loud while searching for the milk bar. Three siblings followed with little effort within […]

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 […]

Saturday was the day! After having almost finished her burrow in the garden and going through several phases of mild labour, Kira got restless. We didn’t let her escape to her burrow, what she thought stupid. However she accepted the whelping box, it is already familiar to her. Shortly after […]
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 […]
