The time has come, and Rye is finally in heat and will hopefully be bred around this 4rth of July weekend! Unfortunately, this past month has also brought some disappointing news. Though Frappe completed her health testing and passed with flying colors, her recent breeding did not result in a pregnancy. We will try again in a few months with her. Fletch had some eye injuries that prevented us from moving forward with his involvement in our program for the time being. Plum Princess and Candy were both evaluated, and while they were healthy and are great pets, they did not pass our standards for having a litter, so they will not be in our program either. We are so thankful to the guardian families who have raised, love, and will continue to love these dogs that didn’t pass. Knowing our dogs love life and won’t have to experience any new transitions to a different home really makes the heartbreak of unfullilled dreams and plans a little easier to bear. We wish everyone a happy 4rth of July!
