X-rays went smoothly, and we were able to get a pretty good view for counting. Rye has seven pups, and Mocha has nine. We have room for a few more reservations, but we won’t know which genders are available until after the birth. The due date is approx. May 26th with pups going home July 20th.

Both Mocha and Rye had their pregnancy confirmation ultrasound today. We couldn’t get a range of the number of pups, but they both looked pretty full! They will be due within a couple days of each other, so we are excited! We will schedule the puppy count x-ray in a couple weeks, but it won’t take place until the week before they are due.

Mocha and Rye have their ultrasounds scheduled for next Thursday afternoon. We’re seeing some pretty clear pregnancy signs from both of them, but we’ve been fooled before. We’ll announce results next Thursday after the appointment and open general reservations at that point. We will have a few male and female reservations still available if they are both pregnant.

Mocha and Rye have both had successful breedings! We did progesterone testing and traveled to Fort Collins to get a transcervical insemination for Rye. Our planned matches (Henry/Rye and Whiskey/Mocha) were successful. Hopefully we’ll have some beautiful babies to send home in July!

We have some very big news! Mocha and Rye both went into heat early at the same time again! We’ve consulted their veterinarian, and we were encouraged to breed them. This means we could have puppies going home a little earlier than we expected if the pregnancies take! We hope to breed around this weekend. The puppies would be due around May 25th, and they would go home around July 20th. We have room for reservations for both of those litters. Some other big news is that Ashlee Dyer is also pregnant and due in September. It’s going to be a busy summer!

Jasper and Henry both completed their final x-rays for their hips and elbows, and they did great! Everything is good to go for their planned breedings this year! We found and fixed a few errors on their k9data pages, so the results can now be seen via their pedigrees which can be accessed via the labeled buttons under their profiles on our website.

Rye and Mocha’s litters have been completely reserved. We have space on the backup list in case any of our families have to give up their reservation, and we have two guardianship opportunities. Please let us know if you’re interested in guardianship or being on the backup list!

We have a had a harrowing last few days. Rye started delivery puppies on Thursday and continued to have them until Friday. Mocha started delivery on Friday after Rye was finished, so these puppies will share the same due date on paper. There were some complications with Rye’s litter, and we lost a few puppies. As it stands at the moment (provided everyone stays healthy and thriving), there are 12 girls and 5 boys. All the boys are reserved, but we have space for 3 female reservations. Congratulations to the new families that are waiting for these babies. They are cute!

Rye and Mocha had their puppy count x-rays completed today. Mocha is showing 8 pups, and Rye is showing 11-12! If all goes well, we expect to have a few more reservations available. We’ll release male and female availability after the birth! Next Friday is the due date!

Bell’s heat came in 2-3 months earlier than we expected. Her due date would have been right around Christmas Day, so we decided to skip this heat. We hope to breed her on her next cycle which will probably be around April, which would mean puppies might be going home around July 2024. We will announce the date for the puppy count x-ray for Mocha and Rye next Thursday!
