I am very excited to announce that Cora has begun her heat cycle. Expecting the breeding to take place by the end of this month. If we are successful we will have puppies at the beginning of February.
We are keeping our fingers cross that our timing will be perfect and for a successful breeding.

Cora and the sire have passed their health clearances are CKC registered and have wonderful temperaments

We are still waiting for Cora to come in heat.

Cora and Aleigh are always on the same cycle, well... Aleigh came in heat today.
Will keep you posted, hopefully soon for Cora.

Please note that Aleigh will not be bred, she did not pass one of her clearances.
Aleigh is my heart and love, she is my first championship girl. it is important to me to let others know that I will not breed if a dog does not pass all of their clearances or if there is a known hereditary defect
I'm am not embarrassed or shamed that she did not pass, sad, very much so.

it is important for me to help educate those that go to get a puppy, that the perception of a dog that looks fine, environment looks fine may not be healthy. You really do not know until you do all health clearances

Aleigh has her genetics, heart, eyes, hips and elbows done. Aleigh's parents are all clear, she comes from excellent pedigree, wonderful temperament
She moves beautiful in the show ring, so beautiful she ended up receiving her grand championship. Aleigh did not pass her hips.
I was so shocked she did not pass, I even redid the xrays
I am sharing this information to remind people to look at the results of both parents on the OFA website before you get a dog
clearances do not mean the pups will be perfect
a cute dog may not be a healthy dog, clearances are very important
I won't breed unless I know I can give my pups the best first start in life.

Can't wait to up you all soon with Cora

Ms Cora wants everyone to know she is thinking real hard about coming in heat and having little paws

She says I’m waiting a little bit longer and my mom will update everyone soon

23/08/2024

it's nice to have a day off, when you wake up to hugs it makes the day just perfect

for those that will be getting Cora puppies, beware this is the temperament you will get

NEWS: Update on CDC Dog Importation Rule

Dear CKC Members,

We’re pleased to provide you with the latest update regarding the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Dog Importation Rule effective August 1, 2024. This update includes:
The latest news regarding requirements for Canadians bringing dogs into the U.S.
CKC’s latest advocacy activities
How you can advocate for CKC Members and purebred dogs
Latest Update

DISCLAIMER: the following is a brief summary of the requirements and changes. All information is subject to change at any time and the following is NOT an official record. Please consult the CFIA and CDC websites at all times for the official requirements and most up-to-date information.

Due to the ongoing advocacy by CKC and other organizations, as well as the continued negotiations by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) with the CDC, there are a few updates to help streamline the process. You will notice that there is no longer a requirement for certification of forms or records by a CFIA veterinarian, just a licensed Canadian Veterinarian. Your vet can find all of the requirements and export documents on the CFIA website.

The following is required for dogs entering the U.S. from Canada, as of August 1, 2024.
be at least 6 months of age
have an International Organization for Standardization (ISO)-compliant or universally readable microchip. [Note: all microchips sold by CKC are ISO-compliant]
have a CDC Dog Import Form receipt
must be submitted through the CDC website
a receipt is required for each dog and for every entry into the U.S.
appear healthy upon arrival
have an export document issued and signed by a Canadian licensed veterinarian (Authorized Veterinarian)
all dogs entering the U.S. from Canada will also need to be accompanied by additional documentation which varies depending on where the dog was vaccinated against rabies and where the dog has been in the past 6 months before entering the U.S.
When visiting the CDC website, you can click on the button labelled “Launch DogBot” and it will walk you through the forms you need to fill out. Alternatively, you can visit this page on the CDC website and read about the required forms under the title “Required documents for dogs that have been ONLY in countries that are dog rabies-free or low-risk during the 6 months before entry (and do not have Certification of U.S.-Issued Rabies Vaccination form or USDA-endorsed export health certificate)”. You will find 3 acceptable options for additional documentation needed in addition to a completed CDC Dog Import Form.

CKC Advocacy

Since our last update, the CKC has partnered with the American Kennel Club on a joint letter to Director Mandy Cohen, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, with the aim of doing the following:
Raising awareness about both the CKC and AKC, our members and the registration processes and requirements in each country.
Highlighting the impact of the new dog importation rule on CKC and AKC Members; responsible breeders and dog enthusiasts.
Raising concerns and requesting exemptions for CKC and AKC registered dogs.
The letter from CKC and AKC can be found here.

CKC Member Advocacy: What You Can Do!

We encourage CKC members to write letters to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, copying the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Minister of Health highlighting the following:
The impact that the CDC importation rule will have on you and your work as a responsible breeder or purebred dog enthusiast.
Reiterating the concerns expressed by CKC and AKC in our recent letter.
Reiterating the requests made by the CKC and AKC in our recent letter.
To help you with writing a letter, we have created a LETTER TEMPLATE you can use. We ask that you keep the requests of the CDC consistent with what CKC and AKC have put forward. By keeping our requests consistent, we strengthen the concerns and solutions put forward.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the CKC Advocacy Team at [email protected] or by contacting our Customer Service Team via LIVE CHAT or by calling toll-free 1-855-364-7252.

Youngcountry Taraleigh Rhea
What a wonderful weekend at Forest City Kennel Club in Aylmer Ontario
Thank you to Judge Kinji Itoi who awarded Rhea her first Best of Breed, Best Puppy in Breed and Winners Bitch
we went on to group, where we made the first cut, we did not place but wow what an experience.
Rhea is my 10 month old girl who is growing so beautiful is structure and temperament.
In our second show yesterday, Under Judge Will Alexander, Rhea took Reserve Winners Bitch

A super amazing moment, under Judge Kinji Itoi, both my girls were in the ring at the same time. A big thank you to Bruce Brown for handling Cora in the ring. We had the opportunity to gait the girls together. Rhea won Winners Bitch and Cora received Reserve Winners Bitch

A fabulous weekend at Erie Shores Kennel Club in Caledonia. This is why I love this breed so much, their temperament, beauty and all around good mannered dogs. A wonderful weekend to see some great friends and meeting some new ones.

Ms Rhea did very well, at 9 months old, she placed in all of her Senior Puppy Class Shows

It's official, Ms Aleigh received her certificate in the mail today

03/06/2024

We are over the moon excited to announce that Ms. Cora has passed all of her health clearances and we will be expecting puppies some time in the fall.
The Sire for Cora will also have the same excellence in his linage and has passing health clearances.
For those that know me, my dogs are a huge part of my world. We have been waiting for some time now for clearances in order to continue our breeding program.
The road has been long, we are patient and knowing that we are giving future puppies the best chance and start in life is extremely important to us.
The next few months, Cora will be in the CKC Confirmation Show ring and we hope to obtain her CKC Championship before she has her first litter.

We are pleased to say that my beautiful Aleigh is a Grand Champion.
At the Seaway show this weekend, she placed Select in each of the three shows
Ms Rhea's entry in Jr Puppy reward her with reserve bitch in the one show.
we entered both girls in the sanction match and showed very well.
had a wonderful breeder friend by my side this weekend, thank you Jane Young-Lalande for your great company and advise

21/04/2024

the show ring is fun, no doubt, a place to meet other amazing breeders, share idea and learn.
the most amazing part of my journey as a breeder is the wonderful families I meet and match to my beautiful babies. I love hearing from them on the growth of their pup, knowing the are healthy happy and thriving. the best part is the after visits with their hugs and kisses

Charlie is part of the pack on donating blood and saving another fur life.
His blood type is negative and in dog world he is a universal donor.
he was a trooper and enjoyed his treats afterwards
Aleigh and Cora soon be donors as well once they finish their heat cycle

I don't have any photos of Cora, she won both of her class and took home reserve winners bitch.
