    Our pretty Flutter (CH Bluefox Elyan Mariposa RN CGCA CGCU) is expecting puppies.  She was bred to Chase (MHIT GCH DC CAN CH C-Myste Baledwr Pursuit of Happiness CD RN HXAsM OAP AJP MVCX ROMvs).  He will be handing out bubblegum cigars on May 3rd.  This will be our first litter since December, 2014 so I am very excited.  The pedigree is here.  The puppy cam will be operational within a day or two of the birth.

    BOB Photo 11-7-14 Cropped blogFlutter finished her Championship with three Major wins.

    1-31-16 Chase herding by PamChase completed his Dual Championship on February 11th.

    I’ll share information as it becomes available.  Flutter’s puppy-count xray is scheduled for April 29th.  Please think good thoughts for a healthy mama and baybeez.

  2. More on Dem Bones

    The hip xray experience with Addie was most unusual.  We sent the xray below to the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals.  Each xray they receive is sent to three of the orthopedic vets on their panel for review and rating.  Addie’s elbows were normal, but her hip xray elicited three different ratings — one from each of the reviewing vets.  I called foul and we re-xrayed her, set up for PennHip.  The results — her hips rate above 90% of the Cardigan hips submitted for review.  I am good with that rating and would have no issue breeding her.  So, yay Addie!

    Yesterday it was Addie’s turn to visit Dr. Donny.  We did hips, elbows, and a patella check for OFA.  I think these are pretty nice hips:

    Donny took the time to explain to Debbie, Pam, and me what he was looking for and why he liked these hips.  I always appreciate his conversations.

    I am firmly convinced that OFA and the IRS are sister companies so I’ll just hold my breath until the results are in.  We submitted digitally so should have an answer in the next two to three weeks.

  4. Allergies and Ultrasounds

    December 5, 2015 by myeye

    This morning we again ran an ultrasound over Copper’s tummy — just to be sure.  Unfortunately, she is still not pregnant.  I am so bummed!

    Tuli has been suffering with hotspots.  Last week, my vets took skin plugs and sent them off to Spectrum labs to see if our puppy has environmental allergies.  Indeed, Tuli does.  The results are below.  The answer is the compounding of oral drops that will be administered under her tongue for 3 to 5 months.  The Clinic will order the drops on Monday.  In the meantime, I will re-home Tuli’s pet cockroach.

    Wednesday morning I took Ms. Copper in to Los Lunas Animal Clinic for an ultrasound — to see if she was indeed pregnant.  Unfortunately, it appears she is not.  I am very bummed — and I know there are others who were waiting for puppies — who are probably pretty sad as well.  So, back to the drawing board.  When you do not use the “turn the dog loose in the neighborhood and see who gets her” method of impregnating, the planning, timing, and execution are painful and must be precise.  We had a couple of hitches in the road which caused us to use frozen semen.  The conception rate with frozen is significantly lower than it is with chilled extended or live.  I would never plan on using frozen with a maiden, but circumstances overrode my preferences.  Let’s see how things go with Copper.  I hope to do a spring breeding.  I hope it is more successful.
