3-day Kennel Club Show

Blog post, Dogue de Bordeaux, Show

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…

Everyday life

Blog post, Dogue de Bordeaux, Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen

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! ☺️👌

DdB puppies

Blog post, Breeding, Dogue de Bordeaux

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)

Puppies and show

Blog post, Breeding, Dogue de Bordeaux, Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen, Show

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.…

DdB puppies and show results

Blog post, Breeding, Dogue de Bordeaux, Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen, Show

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 –…

More puppies on the way…

Blog post, Breeding, Dogue de Bordeaux, Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen

Today we did a scan on our DdB Vesper and pregnancy has now been confirmed, allthough only a small litter. Vesper has been mated to the Italian male Borderline de la Bulle Rouge, we had chilled semen sent from Italy, so we have really been crossing our fingers that the insemination was succesful – and luckily it was. ;o) So, it is going to be a busy puppy-summer this year! We are expecting a PBGV litter around July 1st from Carla, and Vesper’s DdB puppies will arrive 3 weeks later. It is the first time we have 2 litters at the same time, so we need to make some practical arrangements in the house, but we are looking very much forward to a real DOG summer this year! ;o) You can find the full pedigree for both litters in the Planned Litters section with pictures and titles of all ancestors,…

Puppies on the way

Blog post, Breeding, Dogue de Bordeaux, Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen

Our PBGV Around Yes Powerdrop “Carla” went into heat end of April and we decided to breed her – and thereby hoping for puppies instead of a summer vacation this year. ;o) Carla was therefore mated to Fodnote You’re My Favorite and she has now been scanned and pregnancy has been confirmed. The summer vacation abroad has therefore now officially been cancelled and we are looking forward to the arrival of a PBGV litter in the beginning of July. ;o) Below picture of the father of the litter, Fodnote You’re My Favorite. Furthermore, we are hoping for a Dogue de Bordeaux litter as well this summer, as North-End Bordeauxs Akane “Vesper” has been mated, however pregnancy has not yet been confirmed. More info on this litter will follow as soon as pregnancy (hopefully) will be confirmed.

Back to normal

Blog post, Breeding, Dogue de Bordeaux, Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen, Show

Everything is back to normal after the DdB puppies left in September – well, two of them left and the last one, Valka, stayed with us. ;o) Valka is developing just like a normal DdB puppy – long legs, long nose, big ears! I am sure she will grow into proportions again later on, but at this age most DdB puppies look funny, so she is developing fully according to plan… ;o) We are waiting for our PBGV female Carla to start her heat…nothing yet, but it should be just around the corner. We will breed her in her upcoming heat, more info on that will follow in our Planned Litters page shortly. All the PBGV youngsters (Peanut, Whiskey and Humle) are doing great and just enjoying life in the countryside, although we are a bit sad that we are not able to show them, as all shows are cancelled…

Puppies are here

Blog post, Breeding, Dogue de Bordeaux

Vesper’s puppies have arrived! Not everything went as we had hoped during birth and not all puppies made it into this world alive, but we have a beautiful litter now of 3 female puppies – one week old today and all doing well. ;o) Today the puppies got their colored collars, so it’s easier to tell them apart quickly – we now have a yellow girl, a purple girl and a light pink girl. ;o) We will keep one of the puppies ourselves and the other two puppies already have wonderful families waiting for them, so there are no puppies available.
