The seasonal weather anxiety has kicked into full gear as the onslaught of winter continues to show us no mercy. Record low temperatures and record snow fall usually translates to record flooding, and I'm already thinking about where to get sand bags to keep the dog kennel from going under water. The pictures were taken the one day we have seen the sun in four weeks.
And the snow just keeps on coming...
Our new kennel motto is Hellfire Kennels: Where 300 days a year a snowball really does have a chance.
The sad part is that it's probably more than 300 days.
Singer has been bred to FTW Macks and if it worked we will expect puppies due around April 12th.
Macks is a gorgeous, very talented kid out of Toby and the last litter Navy produced. Both parents are larger springers. This litter list is currently full, but Mack's sister Haley will be bred later this spring and I will take a couple more deposits before closing that list as well.
Waiting for the snow plow guy to rescue us...
A 2012 Singer X Mickey puppy review from the Millers in WA:
Just a note to let you know how this year went...This year the upland bird hunting was terrible so we switched gears and started waterfowl hunting. Miley was awesome in the blind and was awesome at retrieving ducks in the river and lakes. She converts to what ever task that is given to her. Springers can do or out do Labs and my friends don’t like it. I hope that you like the attached picture of the Waterfowl dog, Miley.... She is AWESOME....Thank you.
This makes me happy. :D
Quick update about what's going on with the breeding situation: Bad timing and crap weather!
The arctic weather (highs at zero and single digits) has made it impossible for me to ship and wrangle two bitches that need to be bred at almost the exact same time. I just can't drive to two places at once so I'm opting to wait until fall with the Chica breeding. Singer will be bred next week. Haley will be bred in the spring at some point and even that litter list is filling up already.
