This week, the pups are out on our deck weather permitting.

Last week the pups moved from the whelping room into their bigger digs located in our eat-in area of our kitchen. We added toys hanging from the PVC stand and a few more things....

Here are the pups getting their first taste of puppy food softened with a blend of their “mush” that we make:

We have been so busy here at our home with the puppies and more, that we haven’t posted candids. The pups are all reserved. If you are interested in our Summer 2021 litter, please email us at [email protected].

Today, the Sunny x Honey litter had their first gruel meal - they did really well. They will get this 3X daily as well as their frequent visits to the Milk Bar (Mom’s Milk, lol). They also have call names now (clockwise from the top): Waldo, Demi, EZ, Eva, Shadow, & Waldo.

Saturday, the Honey x Sunny litter turned 2 weeks old. Here are some head/show side shots of these beautiful puppies (identified under each picture; all have forever homes - just not sure who will go where - remember, as reputable preservation breeders, we decide which pup goes to what forever home):

We are happy to announce our Honey (minor-pointed Bumbleberry Bit-O-Honey of Serah) and Sunny (CH Serah Here Comes The Sun) are the proud parents of 6 beautiful puppies free-whelped last Saturday (12Sep2020). There are 4 girls and 2 boys who, at birth, weighed 9.0 oz to 12.3 oz. All reached the one pound mark between the 3rd and 6th day. Honey is an excellent first time Mom! This is a line breeding going back on both sides to our foundation bitch, Autumn, and is truly an exciting breeding for us. ALL are reserved.

HOW MUCH FOR A PUPPY?

Let me say a few words to you, yes you, the person who writes an email to simply ask the price. The person who calls and after hearing a price surprisingly states: “I can buy a cheaper pup elsewhere”. I also address you; the person who doesn’t care about papers because I want “just a pet”.

No dog is “just a pet”.

Behind every pure bred puppy/dog is a BREEDER. I’m using capital letters to differentiate a breeder from a pet factory or mill. A reputable breeder does not breed dogs without papers, that does not protect the integrity of the breed. Registration (papers) are records of lineage that document bloodline and allow one to research any possible health issues present in the lineage. When you tell a Breeder you don’t care about papers what you’re really telling them is you couldn’t care less about the health of the puppy you just want the cheapest thing you can find! When you select to buy a puppy from a reputable and quality breeder, this breeder is responsible for the health of every pup ; both dogs owned and every pup they’ve sold for its lifetime. This breeder will skip holidays, miss sleeping, and most of their personal house space has been turned into space for their dogs . The truly passionate breeder who loves what they breed, puts their whole heart and soul into it. Not only in puppies that are sold, but also in each client who owns a piece of their heart and now is a member of their extended family. This does not take into account any puppy/dog who might get sick or need extra help to thrive. Breeders worry about their babies after they leave and will take one back without question.

A breeder will get their hands dirty, often covered in everything accompanied with birthing. Because that’s what life is about...In the middle of birth and death is life. The wheel that keeps turning. A breeder will do tests, echos, x-rays, analysis, emergency c sections, vaccinations, register litters, research pedigrees, de-worm, as well as microchip their puppies and get them evaluated by specialists.

Last but by no means least, a breeder CHOOSES the family lucky enough to have one of their puppies. Yes, you read that right. A true breeder chooses who they sell to because they are not making money off the sale. There is no compensation that can offset the investment a Breeder has made so they need to be confident its the right fit. Many times saying more no’s then yes...A good Breeder will have different criteria for those wanting to carry on their bloodline, why? Because breeding is not a responsibility to ever be taken lightly, it’s a lifestyle choice set aside for ONLY the few devoted people willing to sacrifice.

Because a dog is never “just a pet” it’s the Breeder’s legacy, a little boy’s best friend, a little girls protector, an elderly persons therapy, a member of the family, someone’s whole world!!!

Worth the share with so much truth in this article. Responsible breeding and owning multiple dogs is a lifestyle and commitment that many are not able to comprehend. 7 days a week and 365 days a year with our lives revolving around the dogs.

Our first Home Bred Best In Show dog, BIS/MBISS GCHS Serah Celtic Legend of Llynhill, aka Dewi, born 04May2008. Sired by CH Trudytales About Last Night ROMg (Fudge) out of our BIS/MBISS CH Llynhill Autumn Breeze ROMb (Autumn). Dewi is the sire of our Hope and grandsire to our Sunny. Dewi, as a pup, was given to Autumn’s breeder, Barbara Tannahill, as a gift:

Thinking this states our philosophy pretty well and, hence, our Questionnaire is extensive, and waiting for one of our puppies is worth the wait....

MBISS/MBIS/NSBIS CH Llynhill Autumn Breeze ROMb, aka Autumn, our first Cardigan, bred by Barbara Tannahill. We ranked Autumn to #5 in 2004 and to #1 Breed/All-Breed/Top Ten Herding in 2007, garnering numerous accolades along the way. We campaigned her ourselves, with Patrick handling and Jane conditioning her. Autumn was as good in the whelping box as she was in the ring, producing several champions and one Best In Show boy. Autumn is the paternal grandmother to Hope and maternal great-grandmother to Sunny. This photo of Autumn was taken at age 4:

Pluperfect Merrymoon Princess Royal, aka Blossom, bred by Jon Kimes and Barb Hoffman (Patrick Smith co-owns), will be bred this summer 2020 to a lovely boy. Blossom is shown here winning Three Trails Cardigan Welsh Corgi Specialty with breeder-Judge Dayl Phillip and Patrick Smith handling.

05/19/2020

Cymbrogi Autumn’s Legacy to Serah from Llynhill, aka Hope, was bred by Cynthia Smith & Jeff Welch. Her sire is Dewi, seen above, who is our first home-bred Best In Show Dog. Hope is owned by us and is shown exclusively by Jane. In March 2020, Hope was inseminated with frozen semen imported from New Zealand but, unfortunately, the breeding didn’t take: The life of a breeder is filled with ups and downs. We will be breeding her again in 2020 or 2021 to fresh chilled semen from somewhere in the states.

Serah Here Comes The Sun, aka Sunny, bred by us and seen here winning his second Major at Louisville the day the shows shut down due to Covid-19. Sunny has 9 points now and both Majors toward his Championship. He was 7 months old at the time of this photo. Judge John Wade and Patrick Smith (husband of mine) in the photo with Sunny.

Serah Here Comes The Sun, aka Sunny, is seen here winning a Herding Group 2 as a 4-6 month Beginner Puppy. We have high hopes for this baby boy!

12/14/2019

Our two youngest living here with us: Honey (Bumbleberry Bit O’ Honey of Serah) from Russia, and Sunny (Serah Here Comes The Sun) our bred-by us brindle boy. Honey is almost 11 mos old and just started showing this month. Sunny will begin showing next month in the 4-6 mo Beginner Puppy class.

Finally getting our FB page started - will be organizing and adding lots of information, photos, and upcoming events (shows, litters, etc).
