Merry Christmas from Emery!

🥁 DRUM ROLL 🥁

Christmas came early -- I am thrilled to share that Emery is expecting puppies by Jett! For those wondering about the recent road trip, I wrote a song about it ... 😉

🎶🎵 This past Thanksgiving the Vizslas gave to me ... 🎶🎵

• Two feet of snow ❄️❄️

• Three thousand miles driven 🚙🚙🚙

• Four states to visit ☀️🌵 🎨 🏔

• And a belly full of babies for my favorite Emery! 🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶

Thank you Michelle (Rhapsody Vizslas) and Sean (Jett's owner) for making this breeding happen despite the Holiday week and snowstorm, and to Judy (Boulder Vizslas) for the cold weather survival gear!

In the meantime, Emery will receive the best of everything (food, veterinary and general care) as her pregnancy progresses.  Puppies expected on or around January 29th. 

I AM SO EXCITED! 😍

Ultrasound date 12/23/19

Emery will have an ultrasound at Chino Hills Animal Hospital on 12/23/19. Ultrasound is the best technique to detect the pregnancy from around three weeks in, the ultrasound is safe and uses sound waves to create pictures of your bitch’s womb.

Ultrasound won’t tell you how many puppies are in her womb as it is extremely difficult to count them with what is resulting from that type of scanning imagery.

What is the Believe Litter you ask ???

Litter themes are the norm when going to such great lengths to plan a litter and the 2020 Jett x Emery litter is no different.

Some musings on the "Believe Litter" . . .

One of my favorite quotes is, "I believe in you" and I knew there would be a lot of great AKC Registered names that using "believe" (see down below).

"Believe you me" means "believe me" and you can believe me 😉 when I say Emery is a superstar! 💫 Early on I knew she had that special something and she just keeps getting better. Anyone who dog sits her wants to keep her and her titles and accomplishments came easily. She is a joy to live with and those in the know might hear her referred to as "my favorite".  So believe you me, her puppies are going to be amazing!

Also, on the 3,000 mile road trip I naturally listened to a lot of music and Podcasts! At one point in the trip Chris Issack's "I Believe" came on and it happened to be energizing and I hate to admit, I started belting out the lyrics.

Each pup in the litter will have an AKC Registered name which must include the word "believe". Their "call name" can be anything but it can be cute if they tie back together. For example, (Emery's 1/2-sister) Cordie's call name (full name: Cordelia) means "heart", and her AKC Registered name is CH Moonlight's Eat Your Heart Out, RN JH CGCA TKI. Make sense?

Here are some examples of names, but feel free to let me know if you come up with others!
