Happy Easter Everyone!!
Well March and April were busy and happy
times at the Mylad House. First Huge thank you to
my husband who delivered two litters without me for the
first time. I had to travel to Germany on business
and Doug delivered both Poppy and Holly's litters on his
own. He had help some help from Muriha, our
fantastic dog helper, but mostly he and Mykensie were on
their own.
For the most part the deliveries were
easy, no stuck puppies Yeah!!. Poppy was packed
with puppies though for her size. She had six
puppies over 4 hours of labour. The last puppy was
very high up in the uterus and unfortunately it had
detached from her placenta, lost her sack and was in the
uterus for hours. When she came out she was very
very blue and gasping quite hard. Doug managed to
revive her somewhat but unfortunately even with oxygen
and antibiotic treatment we lost her after a week to
phenomena. Very sad couple of days for us as we
worked so hard to bring her around. The happy news
though is out of the two litters that was the only
problem and everyone else is incredibly healthy and
thriving.
Ella also came into season and I bred
her to my US Co-Owned boy Cedrik. She should give
us some lovely sable and red puppies. Ella's
puppies will be born in June and ready for new homes in
the summer.
I have so many applications at the
moment for summer puppies, so I'm really hoping Kensie
and Tessa come into season soon. Kensie
looks like she is seriously thinking about it, so I
expect she will within the next few weeks.
Show News, well we had a great week.
Two Coby daughters won Winners female 3 out of 4 days at
the Easter show. We also took best puppy, best of
opp and reserve throughout the weekend. One of my
boys also did very very well and won winners dog one day
and best puppy and best opp another day.
Izzy started in the US last weekend for her first shows
and took reserve both days, so everyone is off to a
great start.
There are no Canadian shows no for
awhile, which is too bad, I don't think I will be
showing the girls again until the summer in Vernon.
Unfortunately I'm off to Germany again
on Sun but will be back home in time for puppy testing
and the puppy selection process.
Well that's it right now for March and
April, More news coming soon
