2011 - Sep. to July 2011

September 29, 2011:

Tanner (Caipirinha's NUTBUSH CITY LIMIT) has arrived our time evening safe and on time in Canada. All day long we followed his trip via the Lufthansa tracking system und could already see in the morning that departure was on time. Unfortunately customs matter lasted very long and so only before midnight he could be taken over by his owner. But the small guy was optimistic and full of joy when he was in his owner's arms. We were overwhelmed when we received the eMail that Tanner had left the airport.

The car trip of 415 kilometers to his new home sure was not that much bothering him after he had been on tour for 31.5 hours between Vienna Airport and his destination. Once again all the very best for little Tanner and his owner!

Now we are anxious for the first "report" and the first photos from his new home.

September 28, 2011:

Today it was time for the farewell of the last puppy of the N litter: Tanner (Caipirinha's NUTBUSH CITY LIMIT). The small guy started his trip to Canada. A long journey, he will only be at his destination tomorrow evening our time as he has to spend the night in Frankfurt. Luckily the animal lounge there is a great place for a stopover. At 4:30 p.m. I had to hand over the travel crate with Walker ...... that was not easy as we grew very fond of him. The last photos prior to his long trip are in the Photo gallery N litter in the Photo album Tanner which has been set up for him.

Have a safe and sound trip little man, and we wish you all the very best for your future, as well as lots of joy and success to your owner. Hopefully we will receive lots of photos of Walker so that we can follow your growing up.

This way we want to thank his owner once again very much for the trust in our small kennel!

Back from the International (Bundessieger) Show in Tulln/A with great success: Keanu (Multi-Champ. Whisperingln' THE DEVILS ADVOCATE) now fulfills the conditions for his third championship within a year and a few days - International Beauty Champion (FCI), he went Bundessieger 2011 got the BOB and the Crufts Qualification. Sterling (Champ. Daretobebares STERLING SILVER) has been shown for the first time in Austria and also came back home with a nice success. A wonderful day with dear friends who were feverish with us and enjoyed the great success with us.

Of course our thank goes again to the handler Dorka who led Keanu with hard concurrence to the win. We also want to thank once again Radek, who made the beginning of the European show carreer with our boy, our dear friend Gabi who came back home with Best of Breed as well as group placements from any show where she handled Keanu, and all judges who gave our stunning boy such great ratings and titles.

Therewith, Keanu has achieved as the second in this horde the success of our Ula (Multi-Champ. Family Song's ULA), but within a way shorter time. We are mighty proud of the parents of our pretty N litter.

And a couple of days ago we have received from MEOE the certificate/diploma about the Hungarian Beauty Championship of Keanu.

From Germany we have received every now and then during the past weeks great photos from Needy (Caipirinha's NEEDLESS 2SAY) and Toulouse (Caipirinha's NOTHING 2LOSE). It was about time to set up a new photo album for the two, who are doing great and who please their owner very much - Needy & Toulouse in the topic Photo Gallery N litter. Lots of thanks to Annerose that she lets us see frequently how good the two are doing and how they mature.

In the meantime it happened that also for Tanner (Caipirinha's NUTBUSH CITY LIMIT) a great new home has been found: on September 28 he is going to fly to Canada, and his new owner can't wait that the boy arrives. We thank another owner of offspring from here for the trust in our kennel!

The first two puppies out of our N litter have left their birth place yesterday and started their long tour of about 1000 kilometers early in the evening. Female Needless 2Say and her brother Nothing 2Lose have arrived today in the morning safe and with good mood in their new home.

Both are doing great, they were calm during the trip, have already eaten well, got their first contact with the new family members and have already found a playmate in the same age. We are looking forward to the first photos and will set up a photo album for these two and their family when time has come.

Lots of thanks to the new owner for having decided to take two dogs of our small young kennel, thanks for the trust! And our thanks also goes to Eric who took the effort to drive so far for bringing the two little rascals safe to their destination.

The two brothers Nutbush City Limit "Walker" and Need 4Speed "Maverick" missed the siblings yesterday evening, but today they are as ever since: very bright, enterprising and full of high spirits.

Finally we have some nice stacking photos from our N litter, but also cute fun pics. Thanks to our friend Jutta who came here for the weekend and took so many pictures of the puppies. We also could properly check the teeth and all the pups have scissors bite right now. There are 3 pups with 6/6 and 2/2 and only one pup with 5/6 and 2/2.

Have fun when you go and look at them in the Photo Gallery N litter / Week 11.

Waiting is over ...... today the PLL results of our N litter were published by OFA. Proceeding the tests was fast after the lab had received the kits on July 25. We can be pleased with the results: we have 3 clear (2/1) and only 1 carrier (1/0). Details are in our site Breeding. Now we just need to wait to have the original certificates in the mailbox, but at least the results can be added to the pedigrees, which is nice for the owners of the puppies.

Today the puppies also had a new adventure: collars and leads plus walking a bit outside on the pavement besides our garden. They were great and we are proud: no issues at all against the new "clothing". Hopefully coming weekend we can take some nice photos of the crew when we have a dear friend coming here to spend two days with us.

Again birthday celebration: our Zoey (Daretobebares FLY ME TO THE MOON) is three years today. Happy Birthday to our vivacious and so very much cuddly black mouse. We will spoil you very much today and make you a most wonderful day.

Repeatedly our thank goes to our friend Gabi who let us have this pretty and striking girl.

July 29, 2011:

The weather has been bad nearly every day during the past two weeks - rain and/or storm and rather cool. Unfortunately the puppies could not be much outside in the garden until now, but finally on July 27 and today we had sunshine and it was dry so that the small ones could explore and enjoy their "kindergarten".

There are some new photos which can now be seen in the Photo Gallery N litter under Week 9 and Week 10.

July 18, 2011:

Today was an exciting day for our puppies: first long car ride, first vaccination, implantation of the microchip and PLL genetical test. They were great: while the paperwork was done they played in the vet clinic after all the procedure as if nothing unusual had happened.

July 15, 2011:

Our puppies were 7 weeks yesterday. They have been groomed for the first time and their ears have been taped.

Some new photos are in the Photo Gallery N litter under Week 8.

The puppies are in week 6 and pics have been taken again. Since yesterday they are in the puppy penn in the living room and they like it. Now they finally get to know all the other dogs here in the house and are confronted with new noise. They now also eat already puppy food in goat milk four times a day. Needless 2Say, the female has already lots of teeth, the other ones are in the process that teeth break through now, and the claws had to be cut already today.

The new photos are in the Photo Gallery N litter under week 6. Have fun!
