Busy times ahead

Dollar is definitely pregnant and I am almost positive that Audrey is too :-)

To me, both these matings are really special, both are complete out-crosses (not easy to do with the silvers and apricots). This will be Dollars last litter, and as the kennel that bred her are no longer breeding, hers is going to be an increasingly rare line. On a more personal note, the pedigree of the stud dog that Dollar visited, has a pedigree that shares some ancestors with my very first poodle!  I will be keeping a pup from her. They are due around the 9th March


To find a boy that I felt was suitable for Audrey, I had to take her out of the country, this means that the pups that she has will introduce a new apricot line to the UK. As both Audrey and Matti carry the phantom gene, the resulting pups are also likely to carry it. If they are bred from in the future, put to apricot the gene will not show itself and all the pups will be apricot, but put to a phantom or a dark coloured dog who carries the phantom gene, then a percentage of the pups should also be phantom, needless to say, one of these pups will also be staying with me.They are due around the 11th of March (hopefully not in the van on the way to our walk, unlike last time!)

I am more than happy to answers enquiries about these upcoming litters, but I do not take deposits or firm bookings until the pups have safely arrived. As with their previous litters, the web cam will be up and running to cover the birth of the pups and their first few weeks at Itzapromise.
