Finally Peanut is in heat! Apparently she has 8 months between her heats and not the usual 6. ;o) She has been mated to Whiskey twice this week so now there is nothing left to do but to cross our fingers that the matings were succesful. We will do a scan on Peanut in a month to – hopefully – confirm the pregnancy.
Final show of the year was this weekend, where we attended the annual Christmas Show at the Danish Basset Club. We only brought Whiskey, and off course our oldest daughter Selma showed him as always – he is her dog. ;o) She has really developed a lot as a handler, and allthough there is off course plenty to learn, she is doing such a good job with Whiskey – and she is only 11 years old, so she has plenty of time to practice…not to mention plenty of dogs to practice with, as our pack now holds 8 dogs! ;oD Whiskey was entered in intermediate class and got a very nice critique (including a comment to Selma about the “very nice presentation”). Whiskey ended up as 2nd Best Male, and as the Best Male was already a champion, Whiskey received the CAC. ;o) He now has 2 CACs and he…
This weekend was the annual last show of the year in the Danish Kennel Club. Normally it is a 2-day show, but this year an extra day had been added as Denmark was hosting the Nordic Winner Show 2021. So, off we went for the full 3-day experience with our two adult DdB females, Vesper and Valka. Vesper was entered into Champion Class and Valka was in Junior Class (she is 15 months old). The weekend was a huge succes for our dogs, and they came home with the following results: North-End Bordeaux’s Akane “Vesper”: Friday Nov 12th 2021 – International Show (12 females entered): Best Female #1 with CACIB – BOS Saturday Nov 13th 2021 – Nordic Winner Show (14 females entered): Best Female #3 Sunday Nov 14th 2021 – Danish Winner Show (15 females entered): Best Female #2 Krondal’s Valka: Friday Nov 12th 2021 – International Show (12…
Things are back to normal these days after two litters during the summer, and we are just enjoying the everyday life, spending time in the garden and catching some sun as much as possible before fall and winter set in… Video below of our whole pack of 8 dogs – 4 PBGVs and 4 DdBs, all relaxing together in the garden. ☺️ Our two DdB keepers from Vesper’s litter – Taylor and T-Rex – have now been added to the Our DdBs menu. 😉 And last but not least, we have a brand new banner that you have probably noticed on the top of our website. Made by l’Exigence Création – thank you very much Sophie Kovacs, it looks great! ☺️👌
Things have gotten a lot more quiet here since the 7 PBGV puppies left for their new homes. We now “only” have our 2 DdB puppies left, and we are keeping both puppies ourselves – we think they still look very nice and promising. :o) The puppies have been named: Krondal’s T-Rex (male) Krondal’s Taylor (female)
The PBGV puppies have now turned 8 weeks and are leaving home this week. We couldn’t be happier about the new families for our puppies which makes it so much easier to wave goodbye. We managed to shoot one last video of all 7 puppies just before the first puppy was picked up – enjoy. 😉
Our PBGV litter will be 8 weeks on Tuesday and we have taken new pictures of the whole gang today – see them under the Our Breeding / U-litter menu. Also, all puppies have now been microchipped, which means they now have their pedigree name as follows: Krondal’s Uma (purple female) Krondal’s Upsy-Daisy (red female) Krondal’s Umberto (green male) Krondal’s Ultron (turquoise male) Krondal’s Uncas (brown male) Krondal’s Uno (black male) Krondal’s Uzo (blue male) This weekend was the annual Danish Dogue de Bordeaux Club Show, and Valka was entered in Junior Class (she is almost 13 months old). This was her first show and what a start! She won Junior Class and received a Junior CAC and went on to become 3rd best female (after two champions), which means she also received the CAC. On top of that she got the title Danish Dogue de Bordeaux Junior Winner 2021.…
Time flies and the PBGV puppies are now 6 weeks old. We suceeded in taking both headshots and stacked pictures of them all, you’ll find the new pictures under the Our Breeding / U-litter section. Also, it’s now time for the puppies to explore the outside world and luckily we had some nice weather in the weekend. Enjoy the video below of the 7 puppies playing with our two girls, Selma and Sally. ;o)
It has been all about the dogs for the last 4 weeks since the PBGV puppies arrived, and nothing different this week with the arrival of our DdB puppies and a succesful show-day for Peter and Selma. ;o) Vesper’s puppies arrived on July 25th. We knew it would be a small litter – the scanning showed 3, perhaps 4 puppies. However, there were only 2 puppies left on the day of arrival – a male and a female. We had originally decided to keep a female, but after seeing the puppies and being very happy with them so far, we have decided to keep them both and see how they develop. So no puppies will be available from this litter, both will be staying with us for now. This weekend, Peter and Selma went to a DKK show with Whiskey and Humle. It went very well for them both –…
Carla’s puppies turned 4 weeks yesterday and today they had their first meal of real dog food. They seemed to enjoy the experience even if they weren’t terribly hungry, as Carla still has plenty of milk and feeds them well. ;o) Video below of their first meal. Also, the 7 pups now have their official names, however we still haven’t decided who is who among the boys. Their names will be: Krondal’s Uma (purple girl) Krondal’s Upsy-Daisy (red girl) Krondal’s Uncas Krondal’s Umberto Krondal’s Ultron Krondal’s Uno Krondal’s Uzo
