May 19th, Little Lilly Takes Her Turn

 We have been waiting patiently for two seasons, without success, to get Rocky and Lilly together. Breeding and whelping naturally is the way we do things. We don't force anything and we don't do artificial anything, so the whole thing is a bit messy and hard to schedule. But our dogs are healthier for it.

Today we caught Lily and Rocky locked in an embrace. Lily wasn't happy about it at all, but it happened.  There will doubtless be more of  these two getting together, but we have a good idea that things are going to work. So we are expecting, providing that Lily takes, around July 21st.  (Update Wednesday the  22nd: They have had a five rounds at least. The pairing usually takes a few goes to have a full pregnancy. Eight pups is often the outcome, but Lilly isn't proven yet and we have no idea the numbers she will throw.) Because of the full pairing we are opening the Wait List.

Please read up on how we do things before making any decisions.  (The link is to the left)  We are careful about how and who we do the business with, so the more you know . . .

For those of you who have come here for the news, there's an email widget on the side of this posting for you to join the Wait List. Also, there's some information pages so that you can get an idea of how we do things.  If you join the Wait List I will send you specific information about where we are and what to expect. This whole thing is text driven so if you have questions you can call Ann at 503-351-0212 to get questions answered if you don't want to use text.

This will be Lily's first litter and Rocky's third. We are expecting something wonderful out of Lily. She's small, healthy, long eared, and a wonderful example of the breed. Once we know for sure we will announce this to the public.  More to follow. . . 

Watch out for Scammers! 

People have spent years figuring out how to impersonate legitimate business and will use the information against you. We try to protect those interested in our puppies, but can only go so far . . .  You are welcome to come visit our farm and our hounds and even encouraged to come visit before making any money decisions. We only offer puppies we have and then take deposits once our pups arrive. Beware.
