Yestie’s puppies!

I have been waiting to post about Yestie’s puppies until they were a bit older and I was sure which puppy I am keeping!  I know now I will be keeping Belle!

Many of you will know the story – I got Yestie (Dachshaus Yesterday) at 25 months old, she had been bred by Maria Stanovoi but had not been shown.  She was Maria’s keeper from her “Y” litter in 2012.  As Maria wasn’t showing but I had started being serious about showing – I took Yestie to a few shows for Maria so that she could be certified for breeding – to my surprise she won a CAC and Best Female her first time in the ring!  Yestie and I had a wonderful 18 months showing together after she became my own girl in November 2014.  She only came into season every 12-13 months though, and when she came into season this last March, I had summer surgery planned and was in no position to have a litter – but Yestie is coming five years old next month and if we waited another year she would be too old for a first litter.  So she was bred to lovely boy which Yulia Chalova had bred and stayed with Yulia to have her puppies.  I have gone up and back to see Yestie, be there when she whelped and to spend time with the puppies.  Maria and Yulia both tell me I really cannot keep all of the puppies from this litter (I still have all three puppies from Vicky’s litter in November 2015) — so Yulia and Maria both have said “keep Belle” and I will believe them.  

There will be some lovely photos soon of the puppies to share, but here is a collage of some of the best photos we have had to date.   I am so very happy to have this litter!  Yestie has been a great mum and Yulia has been fantastic with her and the puppies.  I can’t think of anyone else I would trust more with my very special girl!

Puppies going to new homes will be:

Reve Beau iz Mishkinogo Doma – a charming Black and Tan dapple boy

Rose Bisou iz Mishkinogo Doma – a lovely Black and Tan dapple girl

Royale Bonbon iz Mishkinogo Doma – a sweet Black and Tan boy

And I will be keeping Reine Belle iz Mishkinogo Doma for MandalaDax – a darling Black and Tan dapple girl that I will show!
