Bellamy is cycling!

Oh boy!. That means that spring and summer will be busy, busy!  Little Bellamy is a dear little one that her guardians so enjoy and are already missing her and she hasn't even been bred yet!! :+)  This happens so often but thankfully, all of them live close enough to me to visit often to calm themselves that all is well and each 'momma' is happy and content.

As the days progress, I will keep all updated on when Bellamy will be bred and keep our fingers crossed that a litter will be forthcoming.  If bred to Duckie, it will be a mini litter in various shades of caramel, chocolate, apricot and possibly black.  Most will have phantom markings and some may even have some white tipping on their chests - an adorable combination of colors and markings! They will be 20 lbs or less in weight is my best guess at this time.  If bred to Diesel,  huskier pups that will range in the 25+ lb. range in a very similar color and pattern as the mating with Duckie.


Duckie is a charmer and can be quite a rascal! Loves his family, toys and his best co-conspirator, Phineas.
I have made the decision to mate Bellamy to Duckie as he is smaller.  :+)


   
Diesel is a sensitive boy who loves to watch tv with his guardians.  A breeding of him 
and Bellamy will also produce Phantoms in chocolate and tan, black and tan along 
with Apricots, Blacks and Caramels.  Mother Nature is in charge of all colors and markings!!!
Sorry you missed out Diesel - Lucie is patiently waiting for a date with you!  :+)





Bellamy as a pup.  Adult pics below. She is the 'apple' of her guardians eyes!



This is Bellamy waiting at the vets.  She was very anxious!


She was obviously very relieved when back in the car for the ride home.

Bellamy is very attached to her guardians and they to her!  In a few days we will breed her to Duckie Mallard for a litter of miniatures come late spring.  Keeping my fingers crossed!

HOORAY!

Happily the ultra sound done on Phoebe this morning shows she is very pregnant with 'several' pup sacs showing up readily.  Looks like we will have a litter arriving sometime near March 13th!  What a great time to arrive in this world.  Diesel deserves a cigar on this one for sure!!



 

I just finished grooming and trimming Phoebe once we returned home.  She was a wonderful client and was very happy to say 'Hello' to Daisy, Gunny and Winnie while here.  She looks like a snow bunny!  :+)
