Litter planned for Fall 09 (I hope)

Breeder Talk

  • Never thought of that Kathy Thanks! Scott phoned me back at 7 and then phoned me back at 1130 pm-as excited as a schoolboy. He's endearing, but sometimes his brain is not where it should be. I do like Scott, but he's still odd-come to think of it, so am I-so we should get along great!


  • Oooooh, pretty black and white puppies! I can't wait!


  • Does Scott live in Florida now or is Wylie still living with Peg Grundman in Florida?


  • @YodelDogs:

    Does Scott live in Florida now or is Wylie still living with Peg Grundman in Florida?

    Whylie has not lived with Peg for many years now. He was returned to Scott as per the contract.

    And yes, I love b/w. They are so elegant. Not that the other colours don't have their 'things' either. I'm just partial to b/w


  • One breeding has taken place. I will try again tomorrow. We flew Wylie up and he will fly back down on Sat. Also did a semen smear. There are lots of little swimmers and hardly any rejects that we could find. So it should be successful if Damisi has eggs. All she's done is scream at poor little Wylie! Scott did try a semen test, but no luck as there were no bitches around in season at that time. With any luck, he will try to draw a few straws from the old guy. He's a beautiful boy with a great temperment.


  • Oops both Wylie and Damisi are Fanconi clear. Since we have very few good vets up here in looking at basenji eyes, her eyes will be done(hopefully) in November.


  • 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.

  • Houston

    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.


  • @nomrbddgs:

    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.

    @ownedbyspencer: LOL– your empty nest isn't staying empty at all! Hope the girls had fun at their sleepover. :) We have great fun!

    They will be very pretty babies. Jaycee is on the down side of her heat I was not sure but I thought it was early but at least almost done. Rita Jean

    Seems like the DNA sample would be easier to get too. :rolleyes: I guess the advantage of the sperm count is that you at least know if the sire is fertile or not. Good luck, can't wait to see pictures of the pups to be.

    Hope you have a good trip and he is all you are looking for AND passes all health-testing with flying colors! The spring puppies we are having in the next month [both litters no less!] were the ones we'd planned for Fall 2009. So I moved up my 2010 breedings to Fall 2009… now the girls all need to cooperate with my plans!

    Thanks Andrea and Robyn, That was helpful. Zoni isn't horribly mouthy but I definitely have some more work to do with her. I carry a nylabone in my pocket for the occasion.
  • New Litter of SEVEN arrived overnight !!!

    With the last litter Milo, the sire/dog, on occasions was a little rough when playing with them but not meaning to be. He is very good with his front paws - could teach him to tie a knot if I had the patience and loves to shake hands and also likes to give things a bit of a tap at times - like the cat when it is asleep - and he can tap a little harder than he means to at times. He's a year older now so I'm hoping he'll be a little more sensitive this time with the pups. Still, I will need to keep an eye on him.
