After the and , we have had a few queries about our next generation. With some exciting plans already in place for a litter from Katniss - ELVERSHIRE FIRST CLASS 💚 - we thought we would give a little looksie into the future for the two gorgeous brothers we kept back from our Elsa x Marvin 🖤❤️
Firstly, as we have explicitly stated before, we will not under any circumstances be studding out any of our program boys before they are two years old, before they are fully health tested, or before they are proven in their respective sports, and each potential pairing will be treated equally on a case by case basis with in depth analysis into structure, performance and traits to ensure a potential bitch is complimentary. That isn’t to say a bitch isn’t “good enough” for our boys - rather, they may not match perfectly, and a more suited stud may be available elsewhere 😊
For Dice - ELVERSHIRE FIRST FATE - and Concept - ELVERSHIRE FIRST EDITION - that two year mark approaches in December. Both boys have had their DNA tested and hip and elbow scoring, and Dice has had his eyes tested also, passing with flying colours 🥳
FIRST FATE 🖤, our little black and white spitfire, has the nicest testing of our three FIRSTS; clear DNA by MDD, clear BVA elbows, eyes, and beautiful even 3/3 hips. Dice is hoping to finish up his health testing with us early next year with a shiny passing heart certificate - any other tests, such as spinal screening, can be performed in the future upon a bitch owner’s request. He is solidly built, muscled gorgeously but only weighing in at around 13kg, and packs a punch in that gorgeous body, setting a PB at only 18 months old of 3.64 as a 10” height dog - we expect this time to drop even further as he matures. Dice is a true racer with fierce heart and a vicious tug drive, and he will undoubtedly inject his fire into his puppies. We don’t call him Spicey Dicey for nothing 🌶️
If everything goes as planned and he proves himself as we predict he will in his flyball over the coming months, Dice will hopefully be available for stud in 2026 once his health tests are all complete 🥰🖤
FIRST EDITION ❤️, Concept or “TT” as he is affectionately nicknamed, is a much taller boy weighing in at 14kg and full height in flyball. The biggest in our litter, and also definitely the wild child by a considerable margin, T has been slower to mature into his legs and brain, and his flyball has progressed a little slower than his incredible siblings. However, that’s not to say his foundations aren’t absolutely gorgeous, he has been a joy to train and he is truly chasing down his littermates with power and fury. His passion for the sport and his tuggy is like nothing we’ve ever seen, he truly loves to run and his speed takes your breath away - we have noticed the way he gathers an audience around the ring 🤭 He is shouty, driven and totally off his rocker, but away from flyball he snuggles the hardest of them all. Being a later bloomer, T is going to take longer to prove himself, and with no rush to finish up his tests he will be having some extras at the desire of his owner, including spine, shoulder and patella screening. He is an EAOD carrier meaning all potential girlfriends in his future MUST be EAOD CLEAR, and he has clear elbows and 5/3 hips by BVA. Ideally, T will need to be paired with bi***es that have straighter toplines and rears, as the whippety curves and angulated rear that give him that kick of speed need not be exaggerated any further. Perhaps there is a pretty Mali bitch in his future, though I am not sure we need to add any more crazy! 🤪🙈
All being well, Concept will hopefully be available for stud sometime in 2027 with DNA, Hip, Elbow, Eye, Spine, Shoulder, Patella and Heart certificates to boot 🤞❤️
We are always fully transparent and happy to chat - if anybody has any questions please do not be afraid to reach out ❤️🖤🤍
