K-litter Pups are born!

It was a long day, and a bit scary in the end, but luckily everything was alright in the end due to a quick trip to the vet. Iphigenia of Laelaps, a.k.a. “Yuki”, has given birth to 7 beautiful puppies!
She had already been in labour all morning and afternoon, but her contractions just weren’t strong enough, so nothing was happening. Ultimately we rushed to the vet and she had to have a C-section.

Mother and pups are doing well. Obviously we haven’t slept much yet, so the pictures aren’t of the best quality. We promise to provide more and better pictures soon!

Litter Announcement

We travelled all the way to Poland to cover Iphigenia of Laelaps with Nonpareil Neo Timar.

Hopefully our travels were not in vain. We should be able to tell more in about 4 weeks.

Cover by Isidro of Laelaps

For those of you who are interested, there was a cover done by Isidro of Laelaps with a nice bitch from Vom Kaiserstuhl. Soon puppies can be expected out of this combination. We are very excited to see the offspring!

Reunion Report

Today was the day of our annual reunion and we were very happy with the turn out.
We were also very lucky with the weather, because it was a nice sunny day.

As is customary during our reunion we had a drink, played some games, had some laughs and finished up with a nice meal.

Below are some pictures to give you an impression of the day itself.

We want to thank everyone for attending and we hope to see all of you next year too!

DNA results are in!

Finally we have the DNA results back for our puppies from last litter. We did a double mating to our Genesis of Laelaps with a very young dog, Isidro of Laelaps (9 months old) who is a grandson of Emred Devils Spy, and an older dog, Rhydaman Gold Medal (9 years old) who is a son of Emred Devils Spy.
Apparently the DNA was so similar that the laboratory had to re-test the DNA of 4 of the pups. As it turns out 2 are descendants of Rhydaman Gold Medal (the first two white puppy bitches; Justitia of Laelaps and Jocaste of Laelaps) and the others are all descendants of Isidro of Laelaps.

Jötunn of Laelaps recovered

After a lot of physical health care we went back to the orthopedic surgeon for a check up of Jötunn’s legs.

Luckily they said his bones have grown together nicely and will likely continue to grow well in the future. His growth discs, which we feared were damaged with the break, seem to not have been affected. This is the best news we’ve had all week!
