To the R litter of vom Kerschberger Uschi x Eiko


To answer the question of the Q litter long coats, there are three. One male and two females (Quanta and Qelli) Absolutely GORGEOUS they are! They can be seen on my live streaming video. Too cute!

This is Quanta at left. She was 7 weeks there abouts on this picture.
I am looking for pics of Qelli and realize though I am pretty organized on my computer I got to do better...
this is a small version of the pic I was looking for >>>>






Anywho, The R litter is due NOW at the time of this writing. Clearly I have nothing else to do than sit and watch the dogs, walk them, feed them and observe Uschi while the days drag on and her belly is visibly expanding... Learning more about all the internet has to offer on days like these. I usually only have time for updating the website with new pictures etc, but whenever a litter is due, I learn about all the other stuff I should know more about.
I have been home with the house on 'lock down' (nobody comes in either) since Monday as that was her first day possible to deliver. But, nada mas yet. Its hot, though its a dry heat, in Santa Fe in Mid July, so I am keeping the fans running on high to keep us all cool. The alpha dogs are in the room with the Q litter pups, so they do not disturb the peacefulness inside where Uschi is.
The R litter is Uschi's 2nd litter, and she is 6 and a half. She is in great shape, not to worry. She delivered the O litter last year on July 3rd without any trouble.
Of course, all Uschi wants to eat is RAW food, and more precisely, raw chicken. I'd be picky too in her condition!

Well, a beautiful litter of 6 healthy pups were born on July 21st 09. The Walk on the Moon Day forty years ago!!! Great timing of Uschi as she delivered the first boy at the time the Moonwalk took place too. Five boys, and one Girl. The girl is named Roulette and stays here with Kerschberger. All the boys have left to their new homes throughout the country. This again is a 100% Degenerative Myelopathy litter. I tested Roulette, just for my sake of knowing, and yes her test came back Normal. With recessive genetics in mind we have to continue to test, just in case... This is a picture of Roulette already carrying stuff around, just like her high drives mom!
The dog watching over her is Zuess who gentle gives her the item, follows her for 100 feet, when she drops it, he picks up after her, whereafter she grabs it back from him... this game has been going on for weeks now and its adorable!!!
