and her puppies enjoying the morning sun
( the sound was made by 2 Jack
R mixed dogs in the neighbourhood)
Now the puppies need „ their own humans“ , they
all want to have close contact to the humans, and all toys are out of interest
, when frequent visitors appear! Soon
the day will come and the funny boys will leave us, the girl stays.
The 5
smart boys and their one-and-only sister say hello – she will continue the
Rufus Irish Terrier line in 7th generation.
The 6 weeks old puppies enjoy their outdoor
run and train all what ´s necessary ;-) for little Irish Terriers, like digging
big holes...agility .... and
then they have met all other family members, grandma Spicy, great-aunt Lotti, uncle Rufi who checked the newbies
and welcomed them. Just Byron is not amused and thinks “ Darn,
5 little boys... I hope they won´t keep another dog
puppy ... grumble, grumble...? ”
The
puppies discovered today their outdoor run !
The puppies have developped
a lot in the past week – they did enjoy their first meal – stylish with white “rable clothes”!
Then they chewed on almost everything
that came along like toys, littermates,
human fingers and feet – the last was accompanied by a strict „NO!” , a nasty
word that always show up when something very intersting
is discovered by the puppies ;-)
We enjoy the next steps of the development
of our little gang and see them growing up into different personalities!
Now
the new ” exciting world” around the litterbox must be discovered – our indooor
puppy Kindergarten is ready.

Easter
2008
The puppies start to discover
their little world more these days – eyes will be open soon!
Stella is quite busy maintaining a high hygienic status in her litterbox! Each puppy is controlled several times and if
necessary, licked and cleaned immediately!
I´m
doing a great job with my 6 puppies !

The 1oth of march
is in future not only Viljo´s birthday, but also his
6 puppies´s!
Stella surprsied
us a bit by a very uniform litter in outlook as well as in sex…with 5 boys and
1 girl !
They have very nice balanced
heads with the desired forefaces, nice ears in shape of their parents, pigments
are almost black, and the coat promises straight and wiry coats like their
parents show it.
Here are the X puppies more detailed: in
the middle the little princess ;-) - - and all have taken on weight already . They were born with 242 , 266( the girl) , 278, 288, 330
und 340 gr, show always appetite and are full of
vitality.
Stella enjoys now after the stress of
whelping her second litter and we are looking forward a lot to a springtime
2008 with a
litter to raise – this is the best time to enjoy springtime!
Also the „ finnish
family “ of the puppies is enthusiastic about this nce
litter and I´m not surprised that we will have visitors
from Finnland to meet the puppies! Breeding Irish Terriers joins an
international family of fans, and I enjoy especially this ww
aspect of our common passion ! Our warm greetings to Finland and
especially Hanna, Eeva and Sari (and their
husbands...) !
….and his parents

Now we have 2600 km left behind to make some breeder´s
dreams come true and mate Stella to the youngster “Viljo”
who lives near Helsinki. Stella
is now aeroplane proof and was a perfect companion on our short trip. She did like Viljo
very much and so we will have a litter mid march – airbourne
puppies;-)
Viljo and Stella meet each other.
It was very pleasing how much both
resembled each other and that the description by his owner/ breeder was perfect . I was
even more pleased by his charme and personality plus .
Viljo is very well balanced in all
proportions.
His topline and long neck excells
as well as angulations
both end do, that make his movement very powerful and ewlegant.
He has strong bones, but doesn´t lack elegance , his
straight fitting red jacket is exactly like Stella´s,
his ears did settle almost natural, his correct bite shows all and very big
teeth, and his very nive expression and head as well
as his sweet character are special highlights!
I did meet him long enough to study his behavoiur
and personality and I´m very glad that it is like an
Irish Terrier should be! Cystine
tested and normal .
His sire „Tarzan“ was once Top winning Irish Terrier of the year in Finland ( like his father
Ch Rufus Magic Carlsson before) and did sire some litters in Finland
and Estonia with Ch offspring. His mother „Veera“ is
Fin and Est Ch, and she impressed me a ,ot with her great temperament, very feminine head and super
coat and also perfect ears.
Veera
Viljo
So we wait impatient to see the result of this love story between Viljo and Stella. After Stella left, he waited days for her
to come back...
This litter will also mirror the long time good relations and teamwork
between both kennels Lurvendhalis and Rufus
Irish Terrier – since in 1991 two young breeders with their young
bitches by same sire Maghill met on the placings 3 and 4 of the World Dog Show Dortmund 1991 in a
crowded junior class of stiff competiton;-) .
