Hope you don't mind me "doubling up" on threads, Stevo ... Here's a snapshot of our efforts since the end of last year: Born December (Christmas Day, actually), 3 bitch pups - EXTERNAL LINK Then 2010 whelpings to date, in January: 7 pups from - EXTERNAL LINK along with another 6 being - EXTERNAL LINK and 3 (originally), then down to 2 when we unfortunately lost one at a week old - EXTERNAL LINK Moving onto March, it was "lucky 7" again - EXTERNAL LINK And then a couple of week's later, there was just the one baby girl to come along from this matchup - EXTERNAL LINK We (my team of helpers) then "regrouped" and had a break - albeit a brief one - until July; when we were back in full swing again! Along came 8 of these - CLICK HERE then a huge litter of 10 - CLICK HERE Just to prove those two big litters were no fluke - in August - along came 8 more - CLICK HERE and then last but not least of the current whelpings, we had another bumper result earlier this month, when another 10 beautiful babies came our way - CLICK HERE It looks like there's one more litter coming our way - due in a fortnight - out of our brilliant racer & now producer Moonlite Elite. Deb is tipping about 4 or 5 babies on their way - CLICK HERE And the last girl mated about a fortnight back went this way - CLICK HERE As you can probably tell, we work very, very hard, and have a considerable investment in the future via the sort of broods we have been working with. While we have PLENTY coming through over the next 6 - 12 months, none of it would be possible without the terrific bunch of people in my whelping & rearing network; my special THANKS goes out to all those involved. I would also like to acknowledge and pass on my sincere appreciation to the brood Owners who have shown faith in me, allowing us to breed from their pride and joys; as well as those who share my vision and have decided to join with me in breeding some of the litters. Without the trust, loyalty, & support of people such as these, much of our operation would not be possible. Cheers, and Stevo - thanks for the opportunity to share our efforts with the other interested forum members. I wish everyone else who has ventured into the breeding side of our wonderful sport every success, and look forward to following the progress of many of the Members' litters in years to come...
