Rooster (Zoom x Ty) in an incredible feat, went from hunting the plains of Iowa, to finishing his show championship this weekend, after one month of showing and earning four majors (these last two at a specialty show, nonetheless)!

Rooster is a beloved family member and hard driving hunting dog. He has now been added to the rare list of Vizslas who have achieved their CH as well as a NAVDHA UT Prize 1! He is our first show champion produced here!!

Rooster is also Summit’s sire, who will hopefully finish his CH sometime very soon!

Huge congrats (and thanks) to his owner Kathleen Weller for putting Rooster out there and allowing him to be the best he can be!

Rooster is now known as CH Forest King Little Red Rooster NA Prize 1 UT Prize 1 (AKC pending).

Congrats all!

So we don’t want the dogs wrestling in the house…but in this instance, I allowed it for a minute. This is Ravioli and Summit. She’s the instigator…I don’t remember the last time I saw her actually play…she is doing so well!

I didn’t take official photos but Forest King Climb Every Mountain JH (Summit) took winners dog at the Holyoke Kennel Club show today for another point towards his championship! Just two single points to go! Thanks to Dawn for handling him so well!

And Forest King But Wait There’s More (Junes), took reserve winners bitch and lost to the bitch that won the breed. She handled well and seems to be figuring the game out. Huge thanks to Rebecca for taking her for a spin and doing so well at it!

We will step foot in the ring again at the end of the month and hope for more success!

Ravioli continued to have a poor appetite despite the anti-nausea and appetite stimulant medication. About a week and a half ago, I began to wonder if she may be battling a cobalamin (B12) deficiency, which can cause anorexia and lethargy. Cobalamin deficiency is not an uncommon side effect of gastrointestinal issues, and with the massive amount of antibiotics she was on (despite being on Fortiflora), I wondered if her intestinal biome wasn’t in great shape. Maybe she had some dysbiosis? Liver disease can also be a contributing factor, although her liver values are currently normal.

I reached out to her team at Tufts via email, led by the amazing Dr. Ossman, to get their thoughts. It took a couple days for her to get back to me, as she was finishing her ECC residency this month (Congrats Dr. Ossman!). She agreed it may be an issue and we discussed doing a GI panel to see where her values were.

In the interim, I began supplementing her with B12. It’s a water soluble vitamin, which means, their body will flush out any they don’t need. It’s a simple OTC tablet (also available as an injectable), given once a day. Within a couple days, we noticed a difference in her appetite. Within four days, there was a noticeable increase in her appetite and energy levels. We are now about a week and a half into giving B12 daily, and she has finished her bowl 6 out of the last 7 meals! She had not cleaned a bowl in months. Over the last 3 days, we began to wean her off her other medication and she continues to eat better on just the B12. While she still requires some convincing to eat some things, she has begun to beg again, which we think is a good sign.

So, we will still get a GI panel done at some point soon (there are other potential supplements she may need), we are happy she seems to be feeling better and showing interest in food again!

Go Smoli!

As a brand new broke dog, Forest King Climb Every Mountain "Summit", has made it to the #32 gundog in the country right now. Can't wait to see what fall brings!

So Ravioli has had a slightly rough last two months. About 2 months ago her appetite began to wane in the morning. We brought her to Tufts for a recheck and her bloodwork still looked great. We kept a close eye on her, but her appetite continued to decrease to the point of not wanting to each much dog food at all anymore. Sound familiar? 🤦🏼‍♀️

A few days ago we went back for a recheck and besides her weight loss, she looked overall great, and her bloodwork was “more perfect than ever.” We tried two days of anti-nausea medication and an appetite stimulant, with limited success. I opted to have her go back to Tufts today for a full ultrasound to see if we could determine why her appetite was so poor. Her ultrasound was normal, of course 🤷‍♀️.

She is acting like herself, wants to play and snuggle as usual, but getting her to eat can be a struggle.

So, she is going to stay on the anti-nausea medication and appetite stimulant and see if we can get her back on track.

She likes to keep me worried about her, that’s for sure. Here she is yesterday with me, trying to convince her to eat, and Toby, insisting that he needed to partake of her dinner.

Little Junes Macadamia went to her first trial today to run in the amateur puppy stake. For a puppy who hadn’t seen birds until two months ago and had never seen a horse, she did well. Stake had 11 dogs in it, so she beat quite a few! Mike was her handler today and I actually rode a brace from horseback!

Kansas didn’t have enough run or confidence to place, but had a good, positive experience, so that was good! Summit made a mistake (not fully his fault) so got picked up early in his brace and did not finish the half hour. Nobody’s perfect! Next time, Summit!
