YT 2000 Club Donating Member | ![]() It looks very much like we shall be receiving our new Black Russian Terrier Show promise gal on Jan 8th; given there are no snafu's with the Import Permit. I was told today that the office has all the documentation they need to process the permit! My breeder/trainer did examine the females in Riga Latvia, and I have the genetic test results back. We have made a decision in concert with the Russian breeder to Drummmmmm Roll; import pink/crimson gal - Iridara - in Greek Mythology it means Heroine! Her pics can be seen at www.blackterrier.ru enter under British Flag and go click on Puppies. I got the details of the shipping weight for air cargo it is 11kgs or 24.2 lbs. That is one stout gal, probably weighing in at 18 lbs or more. Now many factors went into my choice. First I found a Russian breeder of integrity and fine quality bloodlines. And one of the few Russian breeders who does health test their dogs, and her husband puts the working titles on the dogs. That took place about 4 yrs ago. I examined Bentley's Mom back in 2009, and her daughter in 2011 at the USA National Specialties, and of course met the breeder a few times when she was over to the USA. I was very, very impressed. The health lineage is sketchy, as Europe does not have a centralized health database as we do in North America. We are finalizing the contract details, and are close to a contractual agreement. And just so everyone knows, there is no such thing as a "PERFECT" show dog. It is what very good breeders strive for, but like climbing to the moon, it is always just beyond our reach. I am in high gear right now, Vet full Wellness screen has been booked for 2 days after receipt of our gal. We are currently going through all our crates for a) travel crate and b) house crate. I am researching cheap carpet runners as I have hardwood and tile, and latest research indicates that non slip surfaces are best for puppy growth and development. I have researched PennHip certified vets to do HD Xrays at 6mths old. I will repeat the genetic tests at a lab here I know and trust just as soon as I receive her. I have sent out emails to my handlers to see what their forward schedule is like. I have to get new protection thingies for electrical cords as all my old ones are basically done in. My trainers are in place, and I am just now scheduling puppy parties and visits. This is very key to socialization of our breed. We have re-set our home to welcome an eight wk old puppy, and I am still searching for my cot, which is probably in the crawl space, so that I can sleep in our garden room with her, for her first few weeks. Both for socialization and the midnight calls of nature. Crate and rotate is being set up, so that our puppy is safe, as well as our one Yorkie and our guest Yorkie. A trip to Rens is in order to look at new ex pen options, and for some various teething toys. I have forward booked the swim times for my pack. And now with the traditional House Cleaning to welcome in the New Year, I am sitting down and chatting on Yorkie talk ![]()

| ![]() I can barely contain my excitement, and I can't wait to watch your beautiful little girl grow up. She looks so confident and healthy. Her hair shines so beautifully, and she has such a pretty face and beautiful build and stack. Your little girl has no idea yet what a wonderful life she will have with you, Dave, Judy, Magic, and Razzle. I can't wait to hear of her antics and the bond you will develop and grow from training together. I hope I can apply some of your tips to continue Ilona's wonderful training of Katie. If your little gal does for your heart what Katie has done for ours, I will be very happy. |

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | ![]() Thanks Lisa. You are always so encouraging to everyone! I am setting up a picture and video file folder just for her ![]() ![]() We think we have a collar small enough, but I need to buy another one, which I will do after she arrives. She should have a collar on her when she is shipped. Leashes of course we are good to go with. She will need a show collar, which I will get at the next show. Life jacket I will see if Razz;s big lifevest will work for her - but I don't think so. Zoey's is too big for right now. So that will be a purchase about a month from now or so. I have not talked to hubby about the super duper crate that has the special build -as I have not contacted the supplier to see if they make a crate large enough for Magic. And at about $1000 a crate that is a pretty expensive investment. We don't need to worry about coats - just booties and I may have a small pair that will fit her. I need to see about a diet for her. I am thinking of switching her to Raw / Home cooked - as my experience has been that she won't eat kibble after about two wks when all the other dogs are on home-cooked. We did find an air mattress single size - so this wkend we are re-vamping the garden room so the pack and I can sleep in there for her first few weeks. Then she will transition to our bedroom where we all sleep at night. And yes she will sleep in her crate, just like all except Magic. She needs to learn crate training for many reasons. Stainless steel bowls we have lots of and she will be fed from the ground until she grows up enough to be fed from the dual feeder. It is an exciting time for me ![]()
