A nice blend of prediction and surprise seem to be at the heart of the best art.

Choosing a stud dog for Emma's second litter was an exhaustive process. We loved what we got from her first breeding to Harley (Ch. Faerdorn Dust Buster, CGC, IMP UK) and seriously considered repeating the breeding but decided not to press our luck. We literally looked around the world for a stud dog, and we now have several interesting prospects to consider for future generations, but in the end we decided to do a UK-NA blend. We orignally bred her to Travis (VBIS Am/Can Ch. BJay's Traveling Man, SOM), a dog we've known for years, in addition to knowing many of his kids and now owning a grandkid (our Hunter).

Unfortunately, the first breeding to Travis did not take. Sadly, Rick & Cindy lost Travis in 2011, before we could do a repeat breeding. While Rick & Cindy were more than willing to allow us to use some of Travis' frozen semen, we opted instead to breed to his gorgeous son, Jag (Ch. Randolph's Beau Jangles). Jag is the sire of our 2007 singleton, Brandy, and has been producing lovely puppies in limited breeding.

Jag and Emma have both had Dopplers, multiple Holters, and cardiologist auscultation and evaluation. Emma has been DNA tested for DM and ARVC-1. (For more information on the DNA test for DM and what the results mean, please visit our DM page. For notes on the ARVC-1 test, please visit our ARVC page.) This will be an all-fawn litter, with varying degrees of white markings. We should get dark red fawns and deep black masks from this breeding.
