Avelyn Kennels

We have wonderful news at Avelyn Kennels. We had a litter of 11 puppies born on August 25th out of our Alice,"Ch. County Line Through the Looking Glass". This is her last litter and we are quite excited about it. 9 girls and 2 boys. All ridged, one girl with a pet ridge and we have at least one liver nose girl. No dermoids, no kinks. The sire is from Katavi Rhodesian Ridgebacks (Debbie Holly): Rocky is " Lyonnese It's a Philly Thing by Lionshare". He's a big boy with bone to spare and everything in the right place along with a pedigree I have coveted for some time. All health clearances done and available for view. The boys are sold but we have girls available to the right homes. Inquiries welcome.

A new wave of research is challenging long-held beliefs about spaying and neutering dogs, especially for larger breeds.

Second update:Aspen just went to his new home where the future looks bright for conformation showing and maybe some lure coursing. Thank you everyone!
Update:Looks like he has a prospective home that we will meet this morning. Will keep updating until it is definite.
Okay so this is my last shot. We still have Aspen here. He has had a lot of interest from people but every home backs out before even meeting this wonderful boy. Aspen will be four months old this weekend. He's out of my AlicexTully litter. I would love for him to go to home that will do something with him, Conformation, agility, lure coursing, obedience..... anything. He's very nice structurally, movement is lovely, and he wants to learn new things. He also has a wonderful temperament. I am willing to make compromises for the right home just reach out and let me know. He deserves to be spoiled in his own home. I am going to bring him to the Hound show on Thursday and either Bucks or Trenton or you can come to my home and meet this wonderful boy. You will not regret it.

Update: He has a home now with previous puppy buyers so he has a sister and his new name is Moses. Also his ears look great now.

Here at Avelyn we had a puppy from our last litter returned after just one month. Not going into details but this boy is a normal almost four month old puppy and just needs consistency. He is happy, smart and quick to learn. He is available to a pet home. Both parents have had all their health checks. For more information please contact us. FYI we are working on the ears to bring them down. It’s from teething. He came back to us like that.

We have a boy puppy available from our last litter. He is about 12 weeks old. He had a home ready to pick him up and last minute they had unforeseen circumstances that prevented them from being able to take him. I have attached a few pics check our website for further info or email us at [email protected] if interested.

Haven’t posted much lately and maybe I will sum up summer at the end of the week but i definitely wanted to post this today. Yesterday Avery and I drove out to Long Island at 5:30am for the two shows in one day Suffolk County KC show in Old Westbury. For reference the previous year Avery and Moses finished their championship on the Sunday (Westbury KC) of this little circuit of shows.
It was rainy and cool and when we pulled up to the new location we noticed that instead of being outdoors it was in like a metal pavilion with rubber floors. The flooring was a little awkward at first but it was nice to not be out in the rain.
First show we both got select which was a little bit of a downer in a small show but it is what it is.
Waiting for the afternoon show. And knowing we had a long drive back you wonder is it even worth it but you stay and enjoy the company. So I worked with Avery and Moses to fix some of the mistakes from the am show.
Delayed start and when we finally got in the ring
Avery and Moses showed beautifully and were awarded best of breed. Select for me and Ginger again no love for doggy bi***es but all good. So we wait for group. Again a long day Avery looks at me and says she wants a placement but would rather not a first placement again so she doesn’t need to stay for Best In show. Well don’t you know it they go in and I am watching the judge and I am saying myself they way she kept looking at Moses “she’s going to give them first”. That’s what she did. Avery and Moses took a Hound Group One! We were thrilled. Of course onto BIS it was a very competitive group of bis winners but they held their own and made us all proud. Icing on the cake the judge that awarded them Bow last year finishing his championship got to see them this year get the group one she was so happy and proud. So Moses is now Group winning Ch Avelyn Into the Promise Land. Thank you to Judge Sylvia T Barkey for the breed and group win and Suffolk County KC for the lovely rosette, prizes and the location.
Couldn’t be more proud as a grandma and breeder. What an amazing team.
We got home at 9pm last night. Today we rest.

We went to Long Island today and at the Brookhaven KC show #1 Ginger (Gch Unbridled Spirit of Ginger) took Best of Breed and a Hound Group four under Breeder Judge Denise Flaim. Adding video from Jenna. Ignore the correction Ginger was distracted by a car alarm and a puppy she desperately wanted to see.

Wonderful Sunday at the National Capital KC show. Avery and Moses were unstoppable all day. Started in the breed taking best of breed and best of breed owner handler under breeder judge Ms. Patricia Clark. Ginger was best of opposite. Then they went into Juniors and won their class out of three again under Judge Patricia Clark (she also won her juniors class the day before). Then in OH group she won a Group One under Judge Dr. Oleg N. Volishin, PHD. No love in regular group. But wow what a day for this young team! And how nice of the National Capital KC to give so many lovely Rosettes. Moses is Ch. Avelyn into the Promise Land and Ginger is Gch. Avelyn Unbridled Spirit of Ginger.

Some minor cheers for this past weekend. Ginger and I went out to Bushy Run and Saturday we won Best of Breed under Judge Susan St John Brown and OH group one under Judge Mr. James M Brown. Sunday we went Select and Boboh under Dr. Ronald I Spritzer. We did not stay for group. What made my weekend were the wonderful compliments on Ginger by the Browns. Mr. James Brown told me, “I don’t normally judge hounds but when I saw her I thought that looks like a nice looking ridgeback then I put my hands on her and I thought that’s a Really nice ridgeback.”
