The Q Litter of vom Kerschberger


Lana's P litter (dob 12.22.08) I kept two pups, a male and a female. I figured not take a chance on just one of such an incredible breeding.



Lana's daughter Jexie (from the J litter born 4.17.06) was the next female to be bred to Eiko von Santamar for the Q litter. (dob 5.2.09) WoW, She inherited that great whelping from her Dam Lana as the pups came out effortlessly. She actually did better than Lana, however, Jexie is three yrs old and in tip top
shape, and at Lana's last litter she was seven. Maybe that has something to do with it. Though i have seen young females having much more difficulty who were also in great condition. Jexie never did have any trouble. She got tired at some point, waited 3 hours and then the last one was born. She is recovering quickly and the pups are one week old now. Jexie has joined her pack on our walks to keep her in shape. She is on a hefty raw food diet and eats like a pony three meals a day. She is an awesome Dam just (again) like Lana.

Of course, this breeding is nothing to sneeze at either. Jexie is, after all, Lana's daughter. With a milder temperament and not so large as Lana, who is quite large boned. Jexie's facial markings are truly gorgeous. I am curious to see how many long coats this will produce, but, I won't know for another couple of weeks. Lana x Eiko had 50% long coats! Pretty Rare + a Rare Pedigree!
