Life must go on, like it or not...

I am really just a pet owner who breeds a litter of and on... Breeders are not supposed to get too attached to their dogs, well, this is true from what I have seen from breeders in the show circuit. I am not like that, that is clear. Zuni was brought here to be my pet and our protector and look what happened... An out of control hobby arose.

Super star V20 Lana delivered a healthy litter of pups Sired by Eiko von
Santamar on the 22nd of December. Boy is she a great whelper.
It created a sensational line breeding of 3, 3 on V2 (12th in the World) Ultri von der Wienerau.
This means, that on Lana's, as well as on Eiko side, Ultri is the Grand Mother of Lana and Eiko, thus the Great Grand Dam of these pups.

That is probably
something I am the only one in the world who can do this, being that not many will have male and female grandchildren of Ultri. A 3, 3 on a male is much easier to accomplish, because the males can produce a lot more pups over their short breeding carreers, but a 3, 3 on a GREAT female, is a needle in a haystack combination. So I am pretty excited to see the pups grow up. Especially the females are of great importance, because from what I have seen is that a line breeding on a great female (such as the result of Zaoa of the Z litter) is that it will (hopefully) in the female pups bring in most of the external charactaristics of the female they were line bred on ie: V2 Ultri.

So we will see what the future brings, whether the females OR the males turn out better in this combination.
