2010 SUMMARY: Bonnie had her pups. three show potential pups/2 pet quality...all to good homes. I kept Jada (Shaolin's Jade Dragon) for my 2011 star. Bella came to the US and got her American title in 3 weekends. Currently Bella is sitting on 19 GCH points. Mom's for 2011 breeding plan are Bonnie and Bella. We are excited about upcoming 2011 and our show plans. We have our fingers crossed for Northern California shows next fall showcasing our best.
MARCH 3, 2010 UPDATE: Bonnie's pups are now 23 days old weighing in between 27 and 30oz. beautiful pups with big heads and short bodies. There are some new born shots of them on the puppy page. i have not completed updated photo's currently due to the condition of my camera. But stay tuned. We just love each of them. Although still early we are considering show homes only for this exceptional international litter.
FEBRUARY 15, 2010: . What a win! We are all exhausted from the show. This was a 3 day show. Sarah Woodworth's JinJin (daughter of Shackie) won 6 points toward her title. She took Winners Bitch Saturaday and Monday. Sunday she took Breed.
UPDATE FEBRUARY 10, 2010: This update is actually being added after the fact. Miss Bonnie had her babies. Bonnie has 5 beautiful, healthy pups. Please check the puppy page for photo's.
UPDATE FEBRUARY 5, 2010: Bonnie went to the vet today. Examination and x-rays later...Miss Bonnie has for sure 6 pups in there and possibly 7. the 7th pup could be shadowed on the xray. Further, our vet reports that the xray shows that the pelvic outlet is larger than any of the pups heads which is a good thing. Xrays also show that all pups appear to be uniform in size. no runts or giants. Vet also says that based on the xrays there is no reason Bonnie can not whelp all these pups. Dr. also stated that given that the last pup from the past stillborn whelping was over 9 ounces and if she could deliver that pup she would have not problem with these. This information puts me at ease. Jeff will be setting up the web cam tonight. I will be laying out all my tools. Miss Bonnie watches me constantly. I believe we are about ready. Jeff and i are both very excited as we dearly love this dog and want all to go well for her.
UPDATE FEBRUARY 2010: As of 2-3-2010 our Miss Bonnie is 50 days very pregnant. Her abdominal girth has now exceeds 26". Bonnie seems very thoughtful and tired and is with me always now. I ordered a doppler and am comfortable using it. It appears Bonnie has 3 pups on the right horn and 2 on the left. We shall soon know for sure how many. Whelping kit is ready but for a couple things i am picking up tomorrow. Bonnie's puppy baby home is now set up and she sleeps in it nightly. My home office has been moved to the dog house so i can work and watch Bonnie and babies. Bonnie is scheduled for xray next Monday to confirm number and size of pups. This is being done as a precaution as we have every reason to believe she will whelp vaginally.
TOTALLY COOL UPDATE JANUARY 2010: As of 1-16-10 Miss Bonnie is 32 days pregnant. She is very obviously pregnant with a new stomach girth of 23 1/2". . We are doing all the right things. Excercise, proper diet, lots of loving and nightly tummy rubs. Bonnie tells me she is a little scared. I told her i would be right there with her. Next week: we will be setting up the puppy pen so Bonnie can go ahead and start sleeping in it. We are reading, reviewing the whelping list and thinking of great Bosco/Bonnie baby names. Kevin put the new door in the dog house this past week and Mark spread the gravels in the yard evenly in prep for the top dirt. Mario will be flying over for the births as well as a 3 day dog show the very weekend Bonnie is due. The webcam will be set up after Mario gets here as i am rather illiterate about that sort of thing. We are hoping to maybe send out photo's after the births. Due to this website Miss Bonnie has friends all over the world. Saudi Arabia, Russian Federation, Canada, thailand, Sweden, India, Africa, Germany, Switerland, Greece, South America, Mexico, Australia, Japan and of course China. Jeff and I are humbled.
**stay tuned** The doppler has arrived!!! We will wait until the 37th day before trying to check out heart beats.
