Pup-Date

Birdee is off her food/morning sickness right on schedule! Still showing no visible signs of pregnancy... too early.

Virginia Vacation

We had a few days of gorgeous weather to enjoy the wilderness of Virginia. Lance hunted, Kipper trailed deer and Birdee ran to her heart's content in the big field behind the hunt club. Then came the torrential rains, and we were cabin-bound the last couple of days. Fortunately it cleared for the drive home.

So Far So Good

We have had immediate & strong response from our questionnaire, and the list for a puppy is officially started! Needless to say we are beyond excited about this litter. Thank goodness for the holidays as distraction!! :)

Attention Prospective Puppy Buyers!

We have posted our questionnaire on the Litters page. If you are interested in a puppy from our Teak X Birdee litter, this is the first step towards making that happen.

Week 1 Weigh In

For what it's worth, Birdee weighed in at 49.0 when we got the health certificate on Monday, Oct 30 and week 1 post breeding weighs in at 51.6 ...

We are awaiting news any minute from the Hunting Tests in Georgia where Birdee's Uncle Jimmy Spears is running her friend Ava in her first Senior Hunter test.

And the rest is history ...

We have gotten our breedings of Birdee and Teak and are flying back to Tennessee in the morning. I got some nice photos of this gorgeous boy today, you can see them on his page but here's one I can't resist but post:

Wine Country

We have had a great time in Northern California, took a trip to wine country and have sampled some wonderful regional wines. Here's a photo I took in Napa Valley, the mountains underneath heavy cloud cover and vineyard in foreground. Click for a larger view...


Also have learned a lot more about Teak, his ancestors and his offspring. I've added some photos of offspring to Teak's page today... Take a peek!! [ CLICK FOR TEAK'S PAGE ]

No Cal

In the yard are orange trees, lime, lemon trees all heavily laden with fruit. The dogs run around with oranges as if they were tennis balls :) It rarely gets to freezing so lots of good growing opportunities here :) There is a HUGE eucalyptus tree in the back yard... built in air freshener. The view is stunning.

From California

Birdee and I made it to California. Teak is even more gorgeous in person than in his photos. :)
