We are planning our I & J litter!


We are planning our I-litter with our Kehlani for late 2026 / early 2027! It will be her second litter and the puppies will be fawn-colored.

We are planning Aletheia's last litter for early/mid-2027! It will be her last litter and the puppies will be black.

Getting to know each other beforehand is possible and also recommended, as the two girls couldn't be more different in character :D.

First show - two podium finishes


We travelled to Maribor over the weekend of April 17th-19th, 2026 to get a taste of the exhibition atmosphere with our future Canadian.

I put a lot of effort into socializing him, as with all my dogs, and it paid off! Hezekiah strolled through the show grounds completely relaxed; narrow aisles with lots of dogs didn't bother him at all, although he seemed a little suspicious of some large black dogs. In the show ring, we had wonderful judges who approached the little darling with great sensitivity and affection, and regardless of the judges' kindness, he was simply sensational. Grandma Khaleesi was there to support him and gave the little guy even more confidence and help. And our little gentleman also impressed in the main ring!

Hezekiah made it onto the podium again that day, and even one place higher! He became Reserve Minor Puppy Best in Show! under judge Martin Johansson.


I couldn't be prouder of my little boy, especially for the sensational start he's made to his show business career. I was particularly pleased that so many of my friends were there that day and cheered us on enthusiastically.

H is for "If only you had said no"

It's the middle of the night. Night lies like a cloak over the world, giving free rein to its imagination in people's dreams. To dream, one must be asleep. I wasn't. And neither, of course, was the H-litter – affectionately known as H for Hellish Noise, Hyperactive, and Haven't-we-demanded-enough-of-you?

I learned absolutely nothing from the G-litter. I naively thought, "Oh, next time you'll be experienced. Relaxed. Confident." HAHAHAHA. No.

I'm not just exhausted anymore, no, THAT would be a rookie mistake, I'm professionally confused. My body doesn't know if it's night or day. My brain is just full of autocorrect errors. If someone asks me how many puppies there are, I answer, "Yes." I even wished the postman goodnight the other day—it was only 10:30 a.m.

I'm sitting again in my bathrobe (which is now more puppy milk than fabric), armed with a flashlight and wet wipes. I'm sorting puppies like socks: "You ate. You ate. You cried even though you ate. And you... you're just loud."

Of course, silence is suspicious this time too. Silence means:

A) Someone is stuck

B) Someone is wrong

C) Someone is planning emotional terror

D) All at once

You all surely remember Gerda, right? Gerda, my coffee machine, is still here. But now I think she's more than just my coffee machine; she's more like my constant companion. I'd even go so far as to say she's my soulmate.

Our relationship has deepened, I talk to her a lot. Sentences like: "Gerda, please... just one more cup..." Gerda is rather quiet, but always does what I want her to.

During the day, everything blurs together. I google things like: "Why does my puppy yell at me personally?" "Can you catch up on sleep or is it gone forever?" "When does a coffee machine become a member of the family?"

Conclusion:

I'm tired.

I am no longer liable in terms of caffeine.

I knew better, and yet I still said yes.

And somewhere between puppy milk, bathrobe and Gerda I know: When the next litter comes, I'll call it I – as in "I need help".
