The telephonecall we've been waiting for...

After seeing Casey yesterday, I knew it wouldn't be long before she came in season. Falco is the studdog we were planning to use, now we know the hips from both dogs are fine, we can go ahead with this combination. Falco has recently been tested for CEA through his DNA and is NORMAL, so all our puppies will be HD and CEA free.

I 've always wanted to keep a puppy from Casey, but for some reason never got to it. She was still young and we had plenty of time left to do that. Now it's the perfect moment to keep a puppy of those two. We are hoping for a nice red merle bitch that has the character of her dam and the will to please from her sire.

Casey has been in season at the beginning of January, it was almost the moment again, but you know, if you're waiting for something, it could take a long time!

And then...finally, the day after we saw her, Martine calls me up, Casey is in heat!

Hooray, we can expect puppies! :)
