Just waiting to hear from breeder. See how the whelp went (its important how the mother did), pups borne all healthy no hernias,etc, nursing well, birth weights.

Whelp went well, how-ever despite 36 hours of constant care, one male puppy did not survive :-( Puppy born with internal fluids what I think she means is a "water baby" his breath went bad, and we could not save him. Her translated words.
Remaining litter feeding very well. One difficulty with the large breeds even with safety rails Mom can sit on a pup and kill them. We usually sleep in whelping room for the first week or so. We did not get to birth weights she was exhausted when we stumbled through our phone call.

So today sent $500 deposit through Western Union, it was easy as pie to do. And it is fully refundable if no show quality female for me. Yes !

Contract is being made as I write this up.

Hopefully that will go well too. I wonder if she will get it translated into English for me?

Her asking price is with-in reason. Now if she remembers the terms we agreed to about 3 yrs ago. We shall see.

Anyhow any contract is only as good as the folks behind the contract.

So I am hoping for pics about the same time I imagine a contract for my review will come through.

There is no law between Russia and Canada that would be able to enforce a contract agreement. To me what is important that some things are spelt out clearly between us. It provides a guideline for breeders to act with-in.

I will be expected to get dual championships, at least a CD title in obedience, keep gal very very fit, show up to all Nationals she wants us at.
She will send me her training regime, already approved my trainer (Ilona), and now I need to find a new pro groomer.

Full gambit of health testing done. She will not be bred prior to 2yrs old and by just past 2yrs old must have all her screenings done.

The breeding and this is my request, all studs scruntized through her, her health checks done for Russian bred dogs and or European dogs, Russian lineage scrutinized and shared with me, to what is on and off the books health wise.

I want her to send her grooming instructions to my pro groomer and in so far as possible with language and distance problems help out with the grooming. I am hoping SKYPE is available in Russia :-)

She has agreed to be my mentor, along with my other mentors. I have my Russian to English translator (Ilona god love her), who is also my mentor.

I agreed to reduced tail. With much agonizing over that. It essentially will disqualify the dog from any International Show, except in Russia. God how exciting would that be to travel to Russia for a National Specialty there and win it! Even in the USA we might get 40 dogs at a National, in Russia they get 400 dogs!.

Sorry for rambling. One is supposed to be circumspect as a breeder. But this is a piece of very good news in a very long time.
And anyhow I am the crazy dog lady. A title I quite enjoy.

How exciting for you!! Congrats on your new show potential (wow 5 females). One of the perks of a larger breed....more puppies lol. Sounds like things are falling into place for you, hope they continue to do so. Can't wait to see pic's.....how long has it been since you have had a baby in the house?
Oh the joy's of a new baby lol.

I watched the video you attached. Irina loves her dogs, and you, a proud crazy dog lady, is a perfect home for your new lass to be. A few years ago you shared with me your heart, hopes, dreams, and visions while Razzle was obtaining his US and Canadian championships. I learned so much from you about the show world, about what it means to be a highly principled breeder who puts their heart and soul into producing healthy, happy dogs and who also live the beloved life of treasured members of the family. I learned from you and also ilona that show dogs could also run, play, swim, dock dive, and train, even in full show coat. Through the eyes of my dear friend, I learned about always putting the health and well-being of the pups first, even if that means not breeding your dream and heart dog, Magic. Sitting with you at the Yorkshire Terrier National Specialty, I learned even more of what to look for in a Yorkie, their beautiful movement, and also how important it is to breed for standard and to try to improve the breed we love so much. You have never waivered from your principles, and you have set such a high bar for other ethical breeders to attain. I loved hearing how Razzle attained his Grand Championship and sharing it with you as you took every step toward his wonderful achievement.

Irina recognizes something very great in you. Although there is a language barrier, your love and commitment to your dogs rings loud and clear. It is something that is felt so obviously without uttering a single word. It is no wonder that you have earned the respect of another highly principled woman. I am so excited about a young lass for you, and I can't wait to take another journey with you. My heart is wide open, my excitement is overflowing, and I am always learning from you. As time passes, my respect for you grows even stronger. Although you have experienced some bumps in the road, you never lose sight of the strong ethical foundation you have set for yourself. No doubt Irina recognizes these beautiful qualities in you, your eagerness to learn, and always do what's best for the animals n your care. You have such a strong and beautiful bond with them, and I've always loved hearing you speak lovingly and deeply from your heart.

Bodica Ida very regal name to think about .

Seeing so many gorgeous BRTs together in the video is amazing. The one she had on the table for grooming looked smaller. Was that just me?

I think you can take comfort in knowing that this breeder is known worldwide and has a reputation that she wants to uphold. It's good too knowing she has certain expectations concerning the pup for competition.

Traveling to Russia would be amazing! I would love to see Moscow and Saint Petersburg, and hop down to Yalta on the Ukrainian coast.

I am terrible with coming up with names. Teddy was the only one that I picked, and I still had to wait to meet him in person. As soon as he walked in the door, I knew it was right.

[Mistymillar]

What about Babooshka or Baby for short which would be cute for a big dog
Or Olga or tsarina. I had not heard of this breed before so googled, beautiful.

[Verbena]

Wow a big litter and it is wonderful that there is 5 females. I am sorry to hear about th male though.

No you r correct. This breed is sex typed,meaning the males are taller stronger bigger heads than the females. It is one reason why females only win the breed 30@percent of the time.

Her dogs are gorgeous. I loved seeing how gentle they were with the Scottie. The pups have gorgeous dark black hair that looks so shiny. I wish I could actually hear what they are saying, but it looks like she loves her dogs, and she has won so many awards.
