Not forgetting our own aussie puppies...

Our very own puppies are already ten days old. They are doing very well, and grow while we're looking at them! Tequila is a fantastic mum. The ears are starting to open now and we expect the eyes to open soon to, probably in the weekend. They are turning into real little dogs now. They weigh about half a kilo now, the weight a border collie puppy has by birth. :-)

Puppynews...

I thought what a great idea to start the New Year with some good news.
A lot of puppies...eventhough it isn't all from our own kennel.
With Georgette at the Weimeniershoeve, there are 6 beautiful puppies born the 19th december. Dam is Gember and sire is our own XTC.
There are five boys and one girl. The girl already is spoken for, but there are a couple of boys still available. For more information you can always mail or call me, or see on (http://www.kerocs.be/weimeniershoeve/)
The little girl is a bluemerle tricolour, the boys have all sorts of colours, we have a black and white, two blue merles, a blue and white and a lilac merle, a true rainbow of colours of little border puppies...



Our XTC became a daddy again, yesterday, the 31th december. The proud mum is a littersister to our Ginger, Golden Girl, aka Snoopy, she has a lovely litter of seven beautiful puppies in the colours black and white, black tri and blue and white.
For more information you can always call or mail me or call the owners of Snoopy on this number: 0474/849721


Phoenix came for a visit two months ago to see his girlfriend Tequila and that has resulted into a big belly with our little girl. Last weekend we started temperaturing her, she was due the 20th December, so we were on time.The first time she had 37,5, but that night it was always around 37°C, which was quite low. The day after it even was 36,5, so we were expecting the puppies to come soon. As I didn't want to sleep the whole week in the sofa, we took Tequila with us in our bedroom, where we made her a nest to whelp in if necesarry, so I would wake up if something happened. But that was not how Tequila planned it, that whole week it stayed calm and quiet at night, until that morning of the 20th. She was shaking and shivering although it was quite warm in the house. That's when I new it wouldn't take very long for the puppies to come. I tried to keep her as much as possible to stay in her nest, but everytime I walked away to do stuff, she followed me. At this rate, it would take forever I thought and I hurried to finish all my chores so I could sit in the sofa and be woth Tequila. And yes, not half an hour later she started to move the sheets all around the nest and went in labour, finally! After a little hour or so, around half past nine, she started pushing, five minutes later a little chocolate tri boy was born! Another three followed soon, two black tri's, a boy and a girl, and one blue merle girl. Around 1 o'clock she had finished and we could start enjoying our little puppies.
What a nice christmaspresent Tequila gave us..
