After much disappointing results from the last 12 months of breeding, with failed breeding attempts, health and such, we are making some hard decisions and may no longer continue with the DDB. After the drama and upset with Luxie, we have decided to desex the females out on breeder terms, leaving only 1 black mask bitch for now. The boys will stay entire to watch them mature and we may collect them for freezing if they pass health scores. For now, I am broken after all the recent events, my heart and my mind are teetering...

On 15/8/23, we sadly recived news that Mia from B litter had passed away. She was the last of her litter to pass at 10.4 years of age.

Sadly, Rollo (T. The Dragon N Th Wolf) (GOT Litter) was diagnosed with lymphoma and recently lost his short battle on 5th July. His loss will be felt my the many people whom met Rollo throughout his lifetime and he is deeply missed by his owners Ashley & Lucas.

Major drama for Lady Luxie with a huge pyometra, she was lucky to get to the vet when she did and that it didnt rupture. Luxie was in a breeder term home. Because of this, we will no longer be placing females on breeder terms. The lack of immediate action to have noticed and had her seen by a vet weeks prior could have cost her life. She was removed from the home, recovered at home with us and has now been placed in a pet home. Living up to her namesake, Lady Lux is very lucky.

Afterbeing diagnosed with lymphoma in February 2023, Freyja (T. Summer Nights) (Grease Litter) sadly lost the battle on June 2nd in the arms of her mumma Vicki.

Rose (red collar) from our M Litter went in for xrays and scoring. Fantastic results, she scored right 5, left 4 for total of 9 on hips and elbows 1:0. She is also the first we have done penn hip scoring on. her results were Right DI 0.6, Left DI 0.48 with no evidence of OA in either hip.

Happy Easter to our extended dogue family.

Maple (T. Mamma Mia) was the first from our M Litter to be hip/elbow scored and speyed (as shes in a loving pet home). She returned fantastic results with clear elbows 0/0 and low total hip score of 3!!! Super happy with the result. Maple is a split image of her mother Billie, size, expression and build.

Next will likely be sisters Nala (black collar) & Rose (red collar) who are both out in loving pet homes on breeder terms.

Sadly on the 17th of April, Narla (T. Im Ms Chevious) from our B litter passed away, just 10 days after celebrating her 10th birthday.

2 days later, Cash (T. Dont Change) from INXS litter passed away after battling cancer, aged 4.8years.

Benny (T. Kants Reason ai) from our K Litter was finally able to be xrayed for official scores on the 6th Feb. Wonderful results with hips right=4, left=6 for a total of 10 and elbows a clear 0/0!!

Luxie has just come in heat again however we have decided to not go ahead with our planned breeding for her. Heartbreaking decision has been made to desex her due to allergies which may or may not be related to hormones. We dont want to pass this into our lines and it was such a hard decision to make as she is the only female from our 20year old Theano Vin Diesel semen, the only female from Rizo (T. Goblet of Fire) so we will loose that direct bitch line forever :( We are hopefully that Luxie's niece Mylah will pass her grading.

Mica has been confirmed in  whelp with 1 puppy, due late this month.

I sent off Reggie's(T. Jedi Knight) xrays which were taken back in 2020 for scoring. We knew to expect a high score on his left. Left Hip scored 19, Right Hip 7 for a total hip score of 26 and elbows clear 0/0.

On 23rd December Mica welcomed a little black mask boy to Payk Z Orisku via c-section. It took some time to establish his breathing and by the time we got him home, it was evident something was not right. He had no suck reflex, was not responding to touch stimuli or wriggling and moving like a normal puppy. After tube feeding him on the 23rd, we made the decision to euthanize him on the 24th. Completeley devastated at the loss.

Dudley (T. Kodak Moment) from our K litter was hip and elbow scored early this month. Great hip results, HD 5:3 for a total of 8, unfortunatley, elbows failed with a 2/3. His brother Benny (T. Kants Reason) will also be scored this month. Fingers crossed he has more pleasing results.

A friend came around with her flashy camera and setup for some cute puppy photos before our N litter started heading to their new homes. OMG they are just the cutest photos ever!!! Thank you Jemma from The Wandering Photographers
