Okay, I can
finally tell you all, we added a new addition to the pack. Umbri
(Umbreon of Endless Runners) has joined our ranks. She is currently 8
weeks and we can go get her on Bart's birthday, which is of course
extra special. We have great hopes and dreams already for this little
girl. And we hope she will fulfil them all of course. Don't we all.
It's going to be fun to have a puppy coming to us at 8 weeks old.
Most of our puppies so far come from other countries, so they
have to be at least 15 weeks before they can leave and by then
they're already tiny dogs and not so much puppies anymore. And till
now I never really thought about what we were missing because of
that. Some dogs came to us even later than that, at about 6 months
and we were very lucky with how they turned out, and how they fit in
with the rest of our dogs.
Ever since we'd gone to our friends
to see their puppies we knew we were taking her home. At first we
weren't going to do it. Because there were only two females in the
whole litter and we really wanted to add another female. But the
breeders had said that they wanted to keep both of them.
In the
end they decided not to keep them both, but to keep only one of the
females and suddenly the option of adding one of their dogs to our
pack was an option again. I had shown interest in a breeding with
that female before, but due to some circumstances the breeding hadn't
happened. And it was put on a back burner, as we were trying for our
own litter as well this year. But we didn't want to let this chance
get away from us. And then we didn't.
We really wanted to keep
it a secret from our friends, as one of our other close friends was
getting a puppy from that litter as well. And his pack and ours are
already horribly similar. He already has 2 full brothers of two of
our dogs and two half siblings, which makes it that much more fun to
see how they perform against each other.
So hopefully we can
measure that again come next season, now that we added another
brother/sister pair to our packs. It's fun to see how different they
can become, even though they're from the same breeder and background.
