This great little pair is expecting! It will be about mid March for the happy event.
Suzi Cute is two and this is to be her first litter. Pooh is two and a half and has had a few litters now. His dad was Elvis, one of our first stud boys who many will remember. When Pooh arrived we retired dad to let the choc genes come forward via Pooh.
It was all touch and go for a while here. It looked like there was to be no litter for Suzi at all…she simply didn’t fancy the boys!
We figured that was just fine; all in her own good time. If not this year, maybe next year or maybe never.
A few days later we put Winston Pooh in with Suzie Cute to keep each other company and .. OMG! Her heat should have been well passed, but hey presto…Pooh was the boy for her. Inseparable, figuratively and then – amazingly – literally!
We are a bit unusual probably in that we have a high number of boys. Probably one third of our dogs are boys. Mostly we do this because it’s vital (we believe) to have a broad gene pool. Fact is we are putting dachshunds of-the-future out there and it’s encumbent upon us to have that as wide a variety of genetics as possible. All very dachshund looking, beautiful in fact, but with different genes. Chances are two pups we have produced will
In time I will add pix of all our dads to the website.
Suzie Cute - due any day now (7/3/12)
For now though, sit back and enjoy this snippet of the two firm soul mates and expectant parents: Winston Pooh and Suzie Cute. Both choc and tan mini dachs, one long and one smooth and both dead gorgeous in everyway (but of course I would say that!).
