A-Litter 2017

Shortly after Christmas 2016 our only 11 months old March got unplanned pregnant. We had the dogs separated since March was showing symptoms of her first heat. We actually planned our first litter with her after the 3rd heat. Unfortunately 5 minutes of not paying attention to Bowser, while mixing his food, were enough for him to open gate and door of the other house where March was kept at that time. Realizing Bowser is not sitting next to my feet anymore I ran over to the other house and found the two love birds right outside together in the garden making love to each other with smiles on their faces.....

That moment I just knew I have to prevent my young puppy girl having babies already. In Germany they offer emergency injections with hormones that prevent a pregnancy after an accident like this. Unfortunately I had to find out that in Hawaii this possibility is not existing, instead an abortion of the pups after 28 days of pregnancy. After talking to both of my german vets ,who both know our dogs really well, I decided to not put march's mental and physical health on a risk and let her have the puppies (if she got pregnant). I knew that I was gonna lose the good reputation as a responsible breeder eventually and that other breeders might look down on us and gossip. But my dog is more important to me than my image as a breeder.

Today we are more than happy we decided this way. We gave March the chance to be a wonderful mother, and made 6 families including their new family members very happy....

In the night from the 1st to the 2nd of March, March gave birth to six very big and healthy pups, 4 males and 2 females. Everything went really well and March is the best mom we could ever imagine!
