OMG how cute is that! OMG. Congrats on those gorgeous pups.
Litter planned for Fall 09 (I hope)
-
Second breeding has taken place. We will try once more before I ship Wylie back home tomorrow morning at 430am. Ugh!
-
Good luck, Arlene
I have always really liked Wylie (and Scott) -
Thanks Andrea. Scott has been really good about the whole thing. We had a few errors with flying Wylie up, but Scott was a real trooper about it. We had a third breeding today. So first Tie was 23 min, second was 14 and third was 11.
-
Here are some updated pics of Wylie at (almost 12 (Dec)). He has a lot of white on his face for me, but Misi doesn't have much at all. So, hopefully, it will work out.
-
He is pretty and so is your girl. Keeping my fingers crossed for a great litter, lost of B/W pups..
-
He looks good! Good luck
-
He looks fabulous! I liked him when I saw him as a puppy and watched him being shown as an adult. He's a fine boy and I hope all goes well for you.
-
Good luck handsome boy.

Thank you everyone. I will keep you updated.

Is he 12 (almost) on this pics??
-
Yes, that was taken when I took him back to the airport on Oct 04 just passed.

He looks great, especially his color coat is amazing :eek::D.
-
Yes, he has no grey whatsoever that I saw on him.
-
When they have that much white on their face the grey sometimes just blends into the white.

First time reading this thread, I must have missed it at the onset. Congratulations on the successful (hopefully) breeding. He looks pretty pleased with himself in the pics:) and a lot less 'fluffy'.
I hope you don't mind a couple of questions. Why does the AKC require a semen count for older dogs and specifically those over 12. Is there something research wise that indicates that our breed or other hound breeds have less active seminal fluid after 11 years of age?
Just one other, I saw at Sally's site that there was only one sib that produced a 2 pup litter, and in the next generation there was only perhaps 3. I may have missed a few :o but is this what is typically considered a vanishing 'tail line' or am I way off base here??
Again, congratulations and best wishes on a successful breeding. Love the pups!! Maybe someday I'll have another:)

I am not sure what you mean by "vanishing tail line" with regards to Wiley. He is a Wau tail line which is one of two most prevalent male tails in the breed.

You're right Lisa, sometimes I am just so DUH:o
I have a question for the long time breeders as I haven't come across this problem before with any breed. Damisi has been bred and is now just MISERABLE. She has taken to growling at everything if I'm not here and nipped two people yesterday when she was excited.(Someone came in that she has seen many, many times and she nipped them when the person was petting them all, and when my daughter tried to move her back from the baby gate, she nipped her on the leg.) She will have to be crated when I'm not here, but this has been getting worse instead of better. Any suggestions? Anyone? I hope this goes away, but I'm more concerned about when she has the puppies.
She has also gotten aggressive with Shadow. She used to be the dog that I would have said would never do anything to anyone, but definitely not now.
-
I have to say, Arlene, I have never had that reaction from any of my bitches… typically they become "softer" and more loving.... that is really a strange reaction....
-
Well, she is more loving with me. She's just become very hostile towards the other dogs and other people. BUT, I'm going to take the baby gate down and put up the door. That may alleviate some of the issues. That way she can't see down the stairs or out the back door. Hopefully that will bring down the excitability somewhat. I'm also going to take her temp in a few min. While I don't suspect a fever, you never know.
-
Her temp is 98.3. I'll take it over the next few days as well to see if it changes any. I put the door up, so we'll see if that makes a difference as well.
