2014

I would like to start by wishing everyone a Happy New Year.

I apologise for the lack of updates/photos in the run up to Christmas, but like many others, it was a very busy time for us. I was then poorly over Christmas and it has taken a few days to get back to some sort of normality.

Last year was an interesting year for Itzapromise, we had some beautiful pups from Audrey in the spring, one of which stayed with us, but we also had the disappointment of Spirit not producing any pups and the terrible time that poor Dollar had with her pregnancy. We had several litters of naughty Devon kittens, again we ended up keeping one (well I have wanted a Sybil baby for many many years). On top of that we brought Cash over from Sweden and said au revoir to Sioux/Zen (who is living the life of Riley as an only dog)

Thank you to all those who have kept in contact, with news/photos of your Itzapromise baby, I really do appreciate it, seeing my babies as important family members is what it is all about for me. I do try to respond to any messages that I get, but sometimes I open them when I don't have time to sit and respond, and unfortunately sometimes it just goes out of my head later, so please accept my apologies if I have not responded personally.

Next year promises to be an exciting one. I will be collecting my phantom carrying black boy from Big Cheyenne. From all the photos and messages I have had from his wonderful breeder, Sabine, I just know he is going to fit in perfectly.

I am currently waiting for Spirit and Dime to come into season, due Feb/March. I plan to mate Cash with Dime, which should result in a silver litter. I am still not 100% sure who Spirit will be visiting, but it will be a dog that should give us a % of phantoms in the litter.

Bob has been calling and has been spending time with Manuel, so there is a possibility of kittens in a couple of months.
